lyrics
I dwell in possablity
With malice and civilized hands
Sweet regret, ivory eyes regret
A horizons last breath
Children hide away on distant shores
Wander gather paradise
These myth are meant to touch
These myths are meant to touch
So pull the curtains tight
Sirens they burn in front of me
Lost cities they play hide and seek
Remembered in suspended scenes
Wasteful kings are meant to sleep
Wasteful kings are meant to sleep
So wipe the ashes from your eyes
Sirens they burn in front of me
With malice and civilized hands
Sweet regret, ivory eyes regret
A horizons last breath
Children hide away on distant shores
Wander gather paradise
These myth are meant to touch
These myths are meant to touch
So pull the curtains tight
Sirens they burn in front of me
Lost cities they play hide and seek
Remembered in suspended scenes
Wasteful kings are meant to sleep
Wasteful kings are meant to sleep
So wipe the ashes from your eyes
Sirens they burn in front of me

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 227 fans who also own “Birds”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of HazePerfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
