I'd have been dancing had you been there when I was younger. Great track!

We built this world on shiny lies
Concrete dreams and neon skies
Sold our truth for comfort’s touch
But we still bleed, and it’s too much

We're drowning in the things we own
Empty hearts, but polished thrones
We feed the beast and lose our way
While beauty fades and truth decays

Raise the spirit, lift it high
Above the gold, above the sky
There's a fire we forgot to feel
A voice inside that's deep and real
Turn the tide, reclaim the flame
No more chasing hollow fame
Peace begins where ego ends
In what we give, not what we spend

You can’t buy meaning, can’t buy soul
But they will sell you every hole
A perfect cage, a velvet chain
That numbs the heart and feeds the brain

But there's a call beneath the noise
A quiet, ancient, broken voice
It whispers love, it sings of grace
Of something no machine replaces

Raise the spirit, lift it high
Above the gold, above the sky
There's a fire we forgot to feel
A voice inside that's deep and real
Turn the tide, reclaim the flame
No more chasing hollow fame
Peace begins where ego ends
In what we give, not what we spend

Let the world fall down around
If it means we stand on higher ground
To see the good, the just, the true
That lives in me, that waits in you

Raise the spirit, break the mold
Let the heart be brave and bold
We were made for something more
Than stock and steel and silent wars
Turn the tide, reclaim the flame
Call the lost back by their name
Peace begins where ego ends
Where love begins… and never bends

“Raise the spirit… raise the light…”

Raise the Spirit(Lyrics)

Supreme Truth

Perfect Body formed in Cardiff, early 2017, inspired by the sonic experimentation of bands like My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Their earliest performances took place in Cardiff’s underground, often in practice spaces and house parties: So, by the time Perfect Body emerged on the music scene, they had already sculpted a distinctive sonic identity. The attention gained from their first single, ‘Getting Cold’, saw them supporting the likes of Jen Cloher, Slowcoaches, and The Wytches.

Perfect Body’s sound is characterized by it’s noisy, psychedelic guitar playing; icy, ethereal synthesizers; and a muscular, yet dynamic rhythm section. Their three vocalists, each with their own style and identities, ensure that Perfect Body’s performances are varied and engaging. Perfect Body is a wall of noise, hazing over and obscuring what is, at it’s core, pop-oriented songwriting.

Music and lyrics by Swine Tax, 2020.

With the recent addition of Euan Lynn on synth, ‘Screensaver’ sees Swine Tax further sharpen their agitated, hooky post-punk sound. Propelled by burned-out guitars and a breakneck rhythm section, the track’s sardonic lyrics express the existential terror of being cut off from the outside world.

6:41 Sapien marks the beginning of an exciting new musical direction for Headshrinkers. Their new single encapsulates the drudgery of modern life, with Garran’s unflinching poetry delivered relentlessly atop a driving, unnearving bassline, coupled with a pounding drum beat and searing guitar lines.

Lyrics:

By this you will know 
That I am The Lord
With a staff in my hands 
I will strike the water of the Nile 
And it'll be changed into
Blood 
Boils
Fire and thunderstorms
Hail and 
Locusts and 
Darkness for three days 
Signs and 
Marvels and 
Rivers turn to blood
Pestilence 
Frogs and 
Killing of the firstborn son 

Living in black and white again
I'm living in the crystal night again
Send us a package from a friend
Tell us about democracy
Do it yourself
Pray for us now
Give us the power
Nobody gets hurt 
Let me send you a lemon battery
Too cold to bear 
Put down the gun 

The Nile will teem with frogs
Up to your palace and 
Into your bedroom and 
Onto your bed 
Earthquake 
Famine
Scorch the planet with fire 
Starvation Pestilence and 
Killing of the firstborn son

Living in black and white again 
Made it to the station in Dresden
Have you ever heard of a hamburger
Joseph Buys is not my friend
Living on a lemon battery 
I'm filling up the holes with 
Fat and grease 
Writing on the chalkboard's wet and cold
Too cold to bare 
Put down the gun 

How long will you refuse 
To humble yourself 
Before me

About midnight 
I will go through Egypt 
With the staff in my hand 
I will strike 
Mark the lamb's blood 
Above your door 
Killing of the firstborn son 

Living in black and white again
Lighting all the candles for my friends
Wake up and you take off all your clothes
Look at all the naked people go
Living in black and white again
How much longer Mother 
Til the end 
Can you see the freedom
that heaven sent 
I can see the old guarding station

killing of the firstborn son
