lyrics
There was no music before
and there will be none after
but lightning struck so
close its burn and
smell rip the scalp, palms
ache, a gush of adrenaline; the split
second between
bloodtooth rage and the
mind’s measure
the headless pang
the gravity shock.
There was no music before
and there will be none after
step out, rise up
become the armory, the arboretum, the arbitrary, dance
on rafters; carve
a private place from the world, and fill it
with water
fish there for supper with filaments to
nowhere.
There was no music before
and there will be none after
the sky’s gone white, the moon’s gone
stubborn; all ears that listened
fast have flatlined, all strings that shook
the air are softer, growing back
into the animals they once were:
catgut
feather
boneflute
drumskin
orange and red and black with
nothing, hearts beneath
the ground start
thumping
clammering
rushing.
There was no music before
and there will be none after
and the sound they call noise is
the sound we call laughter.
and there will be none after
but lightning struck so
close its burn and
smell rip the scalp, palms
ache, a gush of adrenaline; the split
second between
bloodtooth rage and the
mind’s measure
the headless pang
the gravity shock.
There was no music before
and there will be none after
step out, rise up
become the armory, the arboretum, the arbitrary, dance
on rafters; carve
a private place from the world, and fill it
with water
fish there for supper with filaments to
nowhere.
There was no music before
and there will be none after
the sky’s gone white, the moon’s gone
stubborn; all ears that listened
fast have flatlined, all strings that shook
the air are softer, growing back
into the animals they once were:
catgut
feather
boneflute
drumskin
orange and red and black with
nothing, hearts beneath
the ground start
thumping
clammering
rushing.
There was no music before
and there will be none after
and the sound they call noise is
the sound we call laughter.

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 128 fans who also own “As of Yet Alive”
This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 123 fans who also own “As of Yet Alive”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

We Only Love You When You're Dead

"Stuntwoman" b/w "Wavelengths"
by Death ValleyAn irresistibly catchy, dreamy pair of songs that straddle the line between Italo and coldwave perfectly.

JETZT UND IN ZUKUNFT
by HousemeisterThis hammering slab of dark techno comes to wax at last, with its deep grooves and body-wrecking beats as potent as ever.

The Atlanta-based artist gets dreamy and dramatic on his latest release of pastoral post-punk.

All The Way Down
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 114 fans who also own “As of Yet Alive”
That devastating and frightening atmosphere is mesmerizing. Probably the only DWIFH album I fell in love with. Expiring Time, The Unclean, Threadbare, Downpour, At Rest - these all are my favorites.
