One of the best freaking songs I've ever heard (and I've heard a lot of them, should I say Robert Smith meet Daniel Ash and Martin Gore?) Masterpiece! Love the video and the message within.
Live from a world of empty threats.
They can break bones.
Sent home in a wreck.
The less then sudden yell.
The raised voice of despair.
Chimes briefly in the air.
Broken hearts that never tell.
Alive was wearing a green velvet dress.
And her eyes were wild.
She was dancing in the basement that no one left in days.
We were making jewelry out of candies and paint.
We were wrapped in scarves.
When I got cold we would snuggle underneath the carpet.
And no one cared.
Pushed down crooked steps.
We left home.
They crept alone in jest.
The joke got lost on me.
A raised voice that kept me there.
Lungs that can't hold air.
Broke hearts, the coldest stares.
Chimes briefly in the air.
Oh Broke hearts that never tell.
Alive was wearing a green velvet dress.
And her eyes were wild.
She was dancing in the basement that no one left in days.
We were making jewelry out of candies and paint.
We were wrapped in scarves.
When I got cold we would snuggle underneath the carpet.
And no one cared.

From the first deadened cowbell to the last dissonant guitar interval, Dutch quartet Geo's new record is shaped for impact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 25, 2024
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
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. modestwriggles
