Bring back the town square
Gallows brim at night
Diners flipped to death
Bring back the stone press
Cheer with your pig mouths
Spectacle lines curve round roads toe to toe
Bars a barrel top on top
We can’t make it to the end
But there’s fire in these eyes ripped from skulls
Two here to take the taking
You can’t see it, but believe it when I tell you we’re all monsters on the inside
We’re all dead

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren
