lyrics
I can’t escape, don’t leave me
Still lIfe, receding
The rumors are in reach
The skies are stained in bleach
Unquiet in the streets
A desert, concealed in concrete
The walls, the walls, the walls
Are suffocating beneath the paint, beneath the paint
The sound , the sound, the sounds
Is contemplating against constraint, against constraint
I must confess, I must confess
Hush, hush, you silly mess
I think it’s getting close to the end
Just yourself to spend
Sitting waiting, no one’s calling, counting maybes, maybe
The walls, the walls, the walls
Are suffocating beneath the paint, beneath the paint
The sound , the sound, the sounds
Is contemplating against constraint, against constraint
Still lIfe, receding
The rumors are in reach
The skies are stained in bleach
Unquiet in the streets
A desert, concealed in concrete
The walls, the walls, the walls
Are suffocating beneath the paint, beneath the paint
The sound , the sound, the sounds
Is contemplating against constraint, against constraint
I must confess, I must confess
Hush, hush, you silly mess
I think it’s getting close to the end
Just yourself to spend
Sitting waiting, no one’s calling, counting maybes, maybe
The walls, the walls, the walls
Are suffocating beneath the paint, beneath the paint
The sound , the sound, the sounds
Is contemplating against constraint, against constraint

It Will Come To You LP

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.
