Bang
02:57

I am the nuclear fallout
The poison cloud of dust
The shadow you can’t shake
I am the puny microcosm
Chowing down endlessly
In an attempt to recycle life
I am the begrudging roommate
Blocking every plug hole
With my body hair
Like a bang bang
Bang in my head
Like a bang
In the head
I am the bird
That’s lost its way
Diverted from it’s flight path
I am the creepy crawly
You hear in the night
The mosquito around your ear
I am the apathy of man
Who refuses to protest
But nevertheless complains
With disdain
Like a bang bang
Bang in my head
Like a bang
In the fucking head
A blast of a nuclear malfunction attaches itself and suckles onto all too familiar gray clouds
Like a canopy from the clown circus that’s overstayed its welcome in a forgotten town
I am the insomniac
Who dreams in the night
Of nationalistic pain
I am the moment of insight
An instant that is a heartbeat
A capitalist in his mean streak
I am death
The destroyer of flames
Block out the sun
Now wave your goodbyes
Like a bang bang
Bang in my head
It's just
Bang

2022
Who are we
Without warning
He fell in love
With the cash machine
Free from the comfort
Of a loveless night
Self obsessed seasons
A cum shot life
Two little ducks
Playing the game
Flip the middle finger
At your own dismay
Time to join up
Our animal friends
Joy and laughter
Without the limelight
2022
Who are we
Over the edge
With your self esteem
The worlds at your fingertips
Its at your service
Their eyes were watching
So steady as you go
Bullshit mechanicals
The engines in me
Who am I
Trying to be
An attempt to be Jesus
The face of the virgin Mary
A hermit like
Mr nice
2022
Who are we
These shapes and sounds
Really start to pound
I sink into
A closed reality
I can’t deny
It’s just me myself and I
I curse at the anvil
As the hammer took my flesh
It was just like I guessed
I'm a loveless mess
Apply the reflection
A spiritual formation
Cross the land of beauty
Embracing the unknown
2022
Who are we
Help is withdrawn
Living indoors
The despair in my soul
I can’t control
The infinite chaos
Loan shark of fear
The gaslight shifts
To your mundane life
A call for exodus
Let’s get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
It's 2022
It's got me blue
2022

Gravity
02:43
|
|||
|
It starts with the movements of an individual
A sequence of steps
Moving rhythmically
The room starts to sway
My direction within
Feel the isolation of these flailing limbs
Typically followed by linked up motifs
Safe preparation and recovery
The pirouette starts
As I shimmer and dart
Can’t stay away from these offensive displays
You are perfect without gravity
Gravity
Over me
I trip
Twirl
Whirl and hurl
A tingling start
Tell tale example
Sodomized fun so plain to see
The beer drenched floor is all sticky and sore
The shriveled up earplugs
The moment ensues
I oscillate within these pheromones
Choices you should live by
Decisions get binned
Contemplating space as I get hit in the face
You are perfect without gravity
Gravity
Over me
I let it all out
Is it a sin
Surviving the moment
As the noise boomed
Under the dead weight
Becoming a carrier
A sinking ship
As I get all bruised
Thank you for the times I was obliged to ride
Yeah thank you for the times that I almost died
As the line was drawn in a shade of gray
As a life was scorned in these end of days

Go It Alone
02:48
|
|||
|
You’re gonna go out
You go it alone
No harm done
It was just a bit of fun
Just a bit of fun
You lost your phone
And you lost your wallet
You get ripped off
So you screw on the bonnet
Of an old car
That's barely running
Just a bit dogging
Now you've ruined your shoes
Ruined your shoes
You’re gonna go out
You go it alone
No harm done
It was just a bit of fun
Just a bit of fun
You fell out with someone
You get get whiplash
You're out of booze
And eye contact
In the leadership race
A surprise party
A lunch meeting
Of alley cats
And the parking fine twats
You’re gonna go out
You go it alone
But no harm done
It was just a bit of fun
Just a bit of fun
Life is the weather
I’m thinking no never
It's nuclear weather
I'm burning forever
Life is no better
I said no now never
You’re gonna go out
You go it alone
But no harm done
We're all out of fun
You go it alone
You're all alone

Echo Chamber
02:54
|

|
In the Echo chamber
There is no opposition
Your words like tranquilizers
A favored formation
In the echo chamber
Like minded zoned out users
Diverting the perspective
Framed up to reinforce it
In the echo chamber
Eliminating viewpoints
A self indulgent insight
Rigged up for no disclosure
In the echo chamber
In this here hollow enclosure
A biased experience
For which you signed up for
In the echo chamber
I am the chameleon
I am the atom bomb
Can’t tell my right from wrong
In the echo chamber
No place for counter measures
Divided in the same boat
In this here squeeze machine
In the echo chamber
No room for thought provoker
I live by algorithms
Back beat to polarization
In the echo chamber
Knee deep in the circle jerk
Embracing the hug box
In this fake utopia
In the echo chamber
Cementing your position
A self inflicted prison
Cropped up social media
In the echo chamber
There is a tribalism
Self righteous vision
A straight up tunnel vision
In the echo chamber
You are the hug machine
So pristine
Who can’t be free
In the echo chamber
My love is fading
Your love is fading
Our love is fading
In the echo chamber
You cannot see me
In the echo chamber
You cannot see you
Echo chamber
In the echo chamber
You cannot be you
In the echo chamber
We will echo through
For eternity
Echo

Painter Of Pain
02:46

Who is the bigger fool
The fool who follows the fool
Or the fool who fools himself
Now turn this mess into a message
A holy feeling
Let the light shine on you
If you don’t then stick it up your sinner
cos I will not tolerate it
I will not tolerate it
I will not tolerate it
Because…
I am the painter of pain
The painter of pain
You are the subject of shame
The subject of shame
Wherever the mind is going
The man will surely follow
Everybody wants the truth
But none wants honesty
Now take your weakness off
It’s time you rev it up
And don’t forget your neighbor
Run from your past
Look to the future
Run
I am the painter of pain
Painter of pain
You are the subject of shame
Subject of shame
There are several people being delivered from the rusty womb
I’ve seen them all
I’ve seen them all
A man with intestinal problems
and learning disabilities
I’ve seen them all
I’ve seen them all
I’ve seen spirits flow
Jesus come and go
I’m pregnant with miracles
Drunk on new wine
In this sacred hot land
Channeling superman
Give up all your money
Your money dooms you
I don’t make it up
It bubbles up
It’s like a river of holy water
For those that are thirsty
Now shake off that arthritis
That sickness and disease
For it is I
Who is the painter of pain
I am the painter of pain
Painter of pain
You are the subject of shame
Subject of shame

Uncharted
03:27
|
|||
|
You do the things you do
In uncharted waters
You scrimp and scrape and crawl
Your guts for garters
Just trying to get through
A better life like you
It’s coming down on you
Harder than a brick house
It was never really you
Fleeing from your own self
You never had a chance
No you couldn’t take a stance
As they left you on the backwaters
With no comprehension
Of what they did to you
Just look what they did to you
Before the disarray had damaged his brain
He was living out his life with very little pain
But they took it all away
And he never forgave
Now he drinks away
To his own disarray
You do the things you do
In uncharted waters
You tried to get on through
As you hurried from the horror
It was never up to you
To drift beyond this yonder
Just look what they did you
Next time it could be you
Now he treads across the land
Without a map in hand
And gazes upon the stars
As his world drifts apart
A man with no plan
And he’s gotta go far
But he cannot get far
So he turns to the jar
And he bums another cigarette
Just looking for a cigarette
Just something to breath
Give him something to breath
He needs to get far
But he cannot get far
So they turn him away
With a look of disdain
As he crosses through the jungles
That slowly turn to desert
In the city with it’s banging
And the banging and the hammering
The tide won’t turn
No the tide never turns
Despite all the horrors and the history
And the slaughter
He keeps going far
Gotta keep going far
Though he’s the shell of a man
A forgotten dream
Of what it used to be
Next time it could be me
Of what it used to be
Next time it could be me
Just breath

White Whale
02:48
|

|
Your voice has that haunting melody
Whale song
Without pitch or tone
This Hippo humming choir
Needs more harmony
Definitely more bass
If you were the last person on Earth
You'd still update your status
Meanwhile I’m joining the ninja choir
We have to harmonize in silence
Watching you put on make-up
Reminds me
Of when pigeons shit on statues
Seriously man
You’ve gotta take me as I am
Rocking my world
With your non binary glam
My invisibility is wearing off
Is this really the last day for shipping
Your words falling on deaf ears
As the tattooist said “oops”
This is my white whale
This my moby dick
This is my lost cause
This is my chump change
Hey Universe!
Sort out your mysterious ways
Or I'll stick a white dwarf
Up your black hole
Damn this philosophy foreplay
I’m going to have to skin this
By myself
Skin it
Rip it
Shred it in two
Skin it
Smash it
Break it a new
This is my white whale
This my moby dick
This is my lost cause
This is my chump change

Grrrndhog Day
03:23
|

|
Now is not the time
Or anytime
To finally break out in hives
A sneaky peak
A complete freak
Thinking about the sad sex
So what you gonna do
When they beat you black and blue
You've got nothing left to choose
As they left you on the street
Weak
Incomplete
I bet you wish you had it your way
They're thinking of ways
Passing the blame
Giving no chance for change
You’re so contrived
So denied
To finally take the time
Fix your mind
But there’s no mind
You left it on the blank slate
So what you gonna do
When they beat you black and blue
You've got nothing left to choose
As they left you on the street
Weak
Incomplete
I bet you wish you had it your way
They're thinking of ways
Passing the blame
Giving no chance for change
Thinking of ways
Passing the blame
On this Groundhog Day
Today’s not your day
Nor any day
To finally remember the dream
This wet dream
Can’t be redeemed
Now you’re seeing all the flashbacks
So what you gonna do
When they beat you black and blue
You've got nothing left to choose
As they left you on the street
Weak
Incomplete
I bet you wish you had it your way
They're thinking of ways
Passing the blame
Giving no chance for change
Thinking of ways
Passing the blame
On this Groundhog Day

Day Work
03:00
|

|
I’ve barely slept
No one ever knows what they're doing up there
I can’t imagine this will end well
Sometimes I feel like a war
Just settle for less
You can’t be disappointed
Besides
Creation is messy
Bringing space to grow
On this hot lava flow
Living on misguided love
One bad mistake
Desire was gone
For all the world to see
It’s all in a day's work
All in a day's work
All in a day shift
All in a night shift
All in a slit wrist
Man of the west
With nowhere to go
Clings onto his own undoing
Living on the edge
Of eccentric late nights
That never made the wrong call
A ghost
In the theater of ghosts
Pours a cold beer for the road to paradise
See when there’s no hope
When there’s no dreams
Formulate a plan
To have the essentials
Have these essentials
Gotta get essential
Bringing space to grow
It’s all in a day's work
All in a day's work
All in a day shift
All in a night shift
All in a slit wrist
Day work
The essential guide lines
The essential fake pride
The essential false promises
Big brother is your following
The essential backtracking
The essential heart attacking
The essential wipes
Engulfing one’s plight
From here is the sorrow
Bootlegged for tomorrow
Bringing space to grow
It’s all in a day’s work
All in a day’s work
All in a day shift
All in a night shift
All in a slit wrist
Day work

as the album title suggest, there is a sense of immediacy and urgency that is ever present. hypnotic vocals, properly off register notes with disciplined percussion abound. a post punk sound that is familiar as it is original. easily a favorite.

You Wanted the Bike
by Aversions
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions.

The bass sound from Avale reminds me of the tone that Andrea Giometti from Soviet Soviet gets out of his bass. I marvel at how two people playing two instruments produce such complete pieces of music. Well done.
