lyrics
The colonial authorities
Had accepted the election of a basket of fruit
To the seat of highest power
"Cause they knew that it would rot with them
And show the tiny seed
Of the burnt out lightbulb
Of the system that they had thought
They worked so hard to build.
You hack, you false god,
Abandoned us here upon this barren clod,
Your moribund church
Left us in the lurch
To fend for
Ourselves.
At the town hall meeting,
The visitors rose and cheered
As they got into the car that had come to pick them up
and they drove beneath the sheet
That sat atop the buildings
All across the country
And was its only map.
Don't
Say
Anything,
You might
Be
Wrong.
You hack, you false god,
Abandoned us here upon this barren clod,
Your moribund church
Left us in the lurch
To fend for
Ourselves.
Had accepted the election of a basket of fruit
To the seat of highest power
"Cause they knew that it would rot with them
And show the tiny seed
Of the burnt out lightbulb
Of the system that they had thought
They worked so hard to build.
You hack, you false god,
Abandoned us here upon this barren clod,
Your moribund church
Left us in the lurch
To fend for
Ourselves.
At the town hall meeting,
The visitors rose and cheered
As they got into the car that had come to pick them up
and they drove beneath the sheet
That sat atop the buildings
All across the country
And was its only map.
Don't

Anything,
You might
Be
Wrong.
You hack, you false god,
Abandoned us here upon this barren clod,
Your moribund church
Left us in the lurch
To fend for
Ourselves.

The sort of music that is beyond time. The sort of music that you feel more than you hear. I love the fact that vaporwave/dreampunk projects like these have such extremely evocative aesthetics they directly fill your mind with sensations you didn't know you had. You'd maybe think it relies on that solely, but it's coupled with gorgeous musicianship + intense production ideas. The volume and spaces it creates just pull you in instantly whatever your initial mood was. Still stunning to this day.

The latest from indie rock outfit Activity has a charmingly sinister feel, blending in stark rhythms and washes of dark ambient.
