hello empty story, your music is pretty good for my good taste ! cheerz from Belgium

We’ve got one last banger before the rekkid drops this Friday. In case you still haven’t been acquainted yet, the cowboy futurist of Oz, Cong Josie, is back to make darn sure you know his name and his game with ‘Cong the Singer’ the final single from his eponymous album Cong! It’s 4 minutes of Cong madness and malarky after which we think you’ll count yourself a co-conspirator, partner in crime or just need a cold shower. 

This thrusting synth-punk stomper is a timely manifesto announcing the imminent release of his debut LP, Cong!  Crooning, yelping and cooly fantasising in spoken word, Cong serves up his most blistering joy-ride yet. Imagery is invoked of a speeding Eastern Freeway drive in a crowded clown-car/Ford Laser with Giorgio Moroder in the back seat squeezed in with a strong-man chanting choir and a lush disco chanteuse whose voice floats crystal clear with hope. Cong is at the wheel of course, all hopped up on 7/11 one dollar coffees singing Roy Orbison too fast at 78rpm while Johnny Cayn is the front passenger playing a hillbilly slide guitar with complete abandon - wind flowing through his curly locks.

The origin story told in ‘Cong The Singer’ of Cong coming good as a gun-for-hire singer who becomes infamous at the parma-night mega pubs of the suburban sprawl doing a sort of Elvis-does-pub-rock karaoke show may have only a thin veneer of irony about it though. Cong’s daylighting alter-ego Nic Oogjes (NO ZU) grew up driving daily on the freeway mentioned, and it could be said that his own insecurities as a singer, and that of perpetually feeling like an outsider who (fruitlessly) seeks acceptance via creative output, of which will never actually align with broad definitions of 'good' in the ‘burbs, could be fuelling this trip. This is just a theory though. For now, let’s just thrust along to Cong, the “stiletto singer, moonlighting in the dead of night”.

- Crack -
I see the crack in your eyes                                                              
The blur inside your head                                                             
Just an empty shell                                                                 
Floating around like a lifeless vest
                                                   
I feel you turn to stone                                                               
Relentless and forlorn                                                                    
Into the darkened skies                                                                        
That feed upon your life

Empty Story - Csináljunk forradalmat

I Sentence You To Death

be yourself or be afraid
the world burns for nothing less
be upset or bend your will
nothing matters anyway 

head first, i lose my breathe
say goodbye to all yr friends
give me this and nothing else
feral love to run in pastures

silence surrenders
silence surrender me

delicate, i taste your scent
no one here to give me less
forfeit, the things we meant
love that comes from emptiness 

silence, surrender me
i can’t regret

so be yourself
nothing more
and nothing less

a memory i’ll soon forget
to overwrite, to take the place of
ornament and photograph
all i want is something sacred

give me life in hard amounts
pull my hair and let me down

silence surrender
i wish to give you all of me

In Silence

Lyrics:
My skin dries quietly
it stretches like pebbles, everything crumbles against the fabric of my appearances.
Emptiness is weary.
Like a wind, personal.

Oh oh, I just have to wait for the time...
He is my ally.
I'm against plaster, my face touches the flat of the bird's beak and I hate its black feathers.
AND, I blink.

I implore the back
My back oozes the salt of my misfortune
I have knees and protrusions
I'm going to get up strong from all this, lightly, lightly ...

Trees taken aback, ask when to force
May the boar and the guide deserve all churches.
