Advertisers
tell you lies
I know; I was one of them
Advertisers
tell you lies
I was one of them
 
The blind lead the blind
towards a vision so sublime
 
Never mind the truth
Never mind the truth
I hold the secret to eternal youth
Never mind the truth
Never mind the truth
I hold the secret to eternal youth
Never mind the truth
Never mind the truth
I hold the secret to eternal youth

Drink this milk, it's good for you
Drink it cause I told you to

Never mind the truth
Never mind the truth
I hold the secret to eternal youth
Never mind the truth
Never mind the truth
I hold the secret to eternal youth
Never mind the truth
Never mind the truth

MILK

(FR) General Bye Bye. Un trio mi-branque mi-savant associant avec fraîcheur le tranchant des cordes en acier, la frénésie cardiaque des peaux sur les fûts, et l’envoûtement enchanteur des circuits imprimés. Les chansons de General Bye Bye laissent tantôt rêveur tantôt danseur. Un ensemble foutraque qui sent l’humus et l’écume, les vestiaires et le plastique fondu. Philippe BEER-GABEL (guitare, voix, kantélé), l’homme à 3 mains, Emmanuel QUIRIÉ (claviers) et enfin le lunaire Etienne GILLET (batterie, bugle) ébauchent les plans d’une musique nouvelle à la croisée de Kraftwerk, Michaël Nyman et Blonde Redhead.

(US) General Bye Bye A half-mad but oh-so-smart threesome that mixes the jagged edges of steel strings, the frenzied heartbeat of pounding drums and the bewitching enchantment of printed circuit boards to come up with songs made for dreaming and for dancing. A crazy group that smells of compost and froth, of changing rooms and melted plastic. A band that stands at the crossroads where Kraftwerk, Michael Nyman and Blonde Redhead never met. Following on from the release of their first EP Alphabet in 2009 and now armed with their recently-released album Girouette, General Bye Bye is heading off into battle once more.
