Lyrics: 

Don't sing if you want to live long
They have no use for your song
You're dead (x3)
You're dead and out of this world

You'll never get a second chance
Plan all your moves in advance
Stay dead (x3)
Stay dead and out of this world

Run fast, don't stand in the sun
There's too much work to be done
You're down (x3)
You're down and out of this world

Don't ever talk with your eyes
Be sure that you compromise
You're dead (x3)
You're dead and out of this world

Hear the unloved weeping like rain
Guard your sleep from the sound of their pain
Long gone (x3)
Long gone and out of this world

When you smile and it tears your face
It's time for the inhuman race
You're down (x3)
You're down and out of this world

Now you hope [for] a compassionate god
You sold out your dream to the world
Stay dead (x3)
You're dead and out of this world?

Regular readers of tQ might remember that our friends at MUTEK helpfully had someone handy with a tape recorder to capture Factory Floor's comeback set at the 2024 edition of the festival. Well, we're happy to report that they've done done the same again, this time with one of our favourite collaborative duos – James Holden and Wacław Zimpel. The intense, beautiful and burbling set, with modular synths and saxophone dancing in all the bright ecstasy of a winter mountain stream, can be listened to on our Soundcloud below.  " i remember i really enjoyed this one, it was the first show we'd had for a little while and felt quite flowy, a nice connected feeling," reflected James Holden, and his musical partner agrees: "I really loved it," Wacław Zimpel says, "it's always quite amazing to play again after longer break. Breaks gives a room for new ideas to grow spontaneously." They both praise preceding sets by Yu Su and Valentina Magaletti for setting "a great vibe at the venue," as Zimpeł puts it. It came on top of a fine stay in Montreal for the festival. "We immersed ourselves in the local cuisine – poutine – and then climbed the big hill. at the top a guy with a fluorescent cargo bike and a poodle in (also fluorescent) ankle warmers turned up, pumping 90s house out of a Bluetooth speaker. We felt like we'd completed Canada, achievement unlocked."

James Holden & Wacław Zimpel live at MUTEK Montreal 2025

We are an independent record label based in Montréal, releasing experimental music we care about in the most careful ways we can.
