Ash and Fear (arson mix)
02:10

atmosphere of ash and fear
hazy yellowed sleepwalk songs
hear the crackle rhythms of making love
to flames licking sloppy fingers, opposable thumbs
and the fleeing deer, and choking crows
weeping willows, charcoal oaks
fall and nothing left to pine
but here we are, in consideration
of our own goddamn incineration
hot and bothered last vacation
in dustpan particle resignation
and the blood stained moon sees right through
heat rises the heaviest sky
get high huffing gorgeous pyres
sun burned in the nightmare
we wear our sunglasses at the sight
of some fireworks show glowing disposable
patriotic with price tag pride
the security known by the last ones to go.
we’re the last ones to go.

Soldier (flat earth mix)

i wasn’t born a soldier,
i was raised by vultures
i was born a poor boy,
i was raised to destroy
was it right right right?
who is left left left?
was it right right right?
who is left left left to fight for?
i can’t even recognize myself in spit shine mirrors,
boots in endless miles hypnotize in rhythmic fear,
how could i see the eyes of another life or hear my own passing by,
choking back my profitears.
i wasn’t born a soldier,
i was raised by vultures
i was born a poor boy,
i was raised to destroy
was it right right right?
who is left left left?
was it right right right?
who is left left left to fight for me?
throat is tight on sleepless nights,
fists clenched on barbed wire fence
blood is shot as bodies rot,
and i surrender to what i fought
oh please let me bleed
into the pockets of the profits
oh please let me feed
my body to this congress of thieves.
my body, my body
my, body, my body
my body to this congress of thieves

spore to petite mort
just me and mycelium
i’m judas, i’m jesus, magdalene in unison
i input selection,
manual override
synthetic affection;
am i inside?
bore to magnum core
cooling fusion with what i hide
i’m lilith, i’m eve, i am where adams collide
split fractions in action
as missiles ride or die
for alpha extraction;
am i inside?

we fear parties.
feel like armies.
really sorry.
please don’t start this.
eyes go starry.
eclipsing partly.
heartless arteries.
we fear parties.
obscurity.
obscurity.
obscurity.
obscurity.

and i asked her slowly,
how did i become here
i said, do you know me,
did you hold me down dear?
i hear they’re lost then found
the temperature of sound
i here there underground
the reservoir of clouds
if here was anywhere,
he would know where we are
truth is i didn’t dare,
his handout lead me there
did you hold me down,
did you hold me, hold me
hold me down.

bore to magnum core, cooling fusion with what i hide
i’m lilith, i’m eve, i am where adams collide
split fractions in action as rockets roll n ride
for spacious pretension; am i inside?

Xibling Portland, Oregon
[pronounced: sĭbʹ-lĭng]
Synthpunk from Portland, Oregon
"Rather than rehashing ideas already
explored, Xibling assembles their music from the core components that made eclectic synth music exciting during the 80s, while diving headlong into the 21st-century avant-garde."

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.
