lyrics
Varg Vikernes was a terrible man,
But that shouldn't stop him from doin' what he can
To sprout wings and take his place out over the ocean,
Tormenting our sailors by changing their stars and then
Falling victim to technological change beyond his control
Even men like Varg someday grow old.
I wanted to write you a song
About Halifax or Calgary
But I've never been to either one,
But I've got my laptop in front of me
So I called up Google Street View,
Clicked and dragged for a couple of blocks
But there were so many things I couldn't see through
And all the doors were locked
But I gathered enough info,
Made myself a couple of spreadsheets
About some things that you might be into
And all the people I didn't meet.
You have three lines left for a great punchline.
You have one line left for a great punchline.
Feeling unprickly,
For lack of bone sickly,
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?
Dirty deeds done in my sleep
Oh lord please
Give me a name.
Give me a name.
But that shouldn't stop him from doin' what he can
To sprout wings and take his place out over the ocean,
Tormenting our sailors by changing their stars and then
Falling victim to technological change beyond his control
Even men like Varg someday grow old.
I wanted to write you a song
About Halifax or Calgary
But I've never been to either one,
But I've got my laptop in front of me
So I called up Google Street View,
Clicked and dragged for a couple of blocks
But there were so many things I couldn't see through
And all the doors were locked
But I gathered enough info,
Made myself a couple of spreadsheets
About some things that you might be into
And all the people I didn't meet.
You have three lines left for a great punchline.
You have one line left for a great punchline.
Feeling unprickly,
For lack of bone sickly,
Who's to blame?
Who's to blame?
Dirty deeds done in my sleep
Oh lord please
Give me a name.
Give me a name.

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.
