Cinematique Inverse {IK} - Comptes-Tes-Nerfs-DemoV1-

Drawing inspiration from the 80's subculture, the moody allure of the Neue Deutsche Welle, the seminal post-punk sounds of Britain, decadentist literature and experimental electronics, among others, Contes Cruels crafts their sound, characterized by minimalist compositions, vintage gear and evocative, cold lyrics. 

Venturing into the realms of hauntology, exploring the pervasive sense in which contemporary culture is haunted by the "lost futures" of modernity—those futures that never materialized or were eclipsed by the tides of postmodernity—the duo embodies this spectral presence in their debut EP, Séance.

Solo DIY project from an apartment in Seattle

When i
When i take it too far
Now, I'm just as sorry as you are
Get angry 
it does nothing
Voice the frustration
The guilt is crushing

I sit around and watch my skin die
Feel like i committed some kind of crime
Passion isn't always prudent
So much hate i get caught in the movement 
Certain topics i lose control
What have i gained
What have i changed
Politics don't matter 6 below
We have no say
They sow our fate

I hit myself when i remember
Memories memories i lose my temper
Shaking sweating social dreading take it in
Faking facing moral degradation ever since
I let you down
I let you down

Remorse

Ruins in the Ember

PORNOGRAPHY (closed mouth cover)

Keine Ferne macht dich schwierig,
Kommst geflogen und gebannt,
Und zuletzt, des Lichts begierig,
Bist du Schmetterling verbrannt.

Bist du nur ein trüber Gast
Auf der dunklen Erde.
Und so lang du das nicht hast,
Dieses: Stirb und werde!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1817
