Light Noises is last hurrah for a solo incarnation of Astral Skulls - the next releases will be in full band mode. I had this one ready to go and decided I wanted to make sure it got a release. 

You might notice it's a bit less subtle than my usual stuff. At the end of 2016 my Dad died in hospital due to cancer-related illness. There were long periods that he was in hospital over the years leading up to his passing. One of the major battles that I faced personally were feelings that, while I wanted him to live forever, I wanted his pain (and ours) to end. I'm still finding it hard to come to terms with these feelings and to move past the guilt surrounding them. There were times that I avoided visiting him because I couldn't face it again, and times that I missed that I wish I was there for, especially the moment that he passed away.

LYRICS:
Les fossiles de mirages 
Vous saluent d’un geste trop fier
De leurs fibrilles
La poussière vous connaît

Retouchant ses motifs d’un vent mauvais
Sur le chemin de vos regrets
La poussière vous concerne

Elle vous suit dans les
Moindres ruelles, jusqu’à
Vos médiocres hôtels
La poussière particulière

Et telle une sérénade
Par la fenêtre vient
Dormir sur vos effets
La poussière sans frontières

Sans frontières
Le désert égalitaire

Faute d’apocalypse

Un autre été arrive porté par les nuages
Et soudain vous rappelle l’Exode
… et le passage des sauterelles
(La poussière vous prévient)

Et si la langue indifférente du sirocco
Étouffe une à une les chandelles
Et même passée l’heure bleue
Du matin gris, aigri du rose
Purgé du ciel
La poussière vous déteint

Observerez figé
Au milieu d’une rue ensablée
Ce qui devient
Le crépuscule... réitère

Le sac de l’aventure toujours vide
Traîne telle une peau morte
Sur votre flanc
Mais déjà votre peau 
Est bien morte

À l’aube, Vengeur Marseille
Quittera le port 
Avec ou sans votre épiderme

Quelle différence
Ça peut bien faire?
De la poussière

Brilliantly combining the art of sound design with unforgettable songwriting, Montréal-based synth-pop duo Automelodi is back with their third full-length Mirages au futur verre-brisé out May 3, 2019. As an established and respected staple of the international community of underground hardware enthusiasts, Automelodi is led by the inspiring studio engineering and magnetic persona of singer/producer Xavier Paradis. Showcasing his master ability to design infectious rhythms, rich bass lines, and brooding hooks, Automelodi expertly crafts a listlessly romantic aesthetic embodied by Paradis’ dynamic voice and eloquent French lyrics. Automelodi’s focus on color and arrangement converges taste and technique, making Mirages au futur verre-brisé deeply engaging for both party-goers and analog synth connoisseurs alike.
