lambasted at every point / every bastard will at some point decide to stop the struggle / is it a comfort or is it defeat? / when you're smiling for a change? / that you've found yourself a seat? / is it a comfort or is it defeat? / is it a comfort being tied to that ship? / cursing your crew, sliding into the drink / wearing the outcome all that time right there on your hip / so is it a comfort or is it defeat? / when you're smiling for a change? / that you found your place to think? stop doing the world a favour / you're doing my head in / is it a comfort or is it defeat? / when you're smiling for a change? / yeah, you've found your space to breathe / stop doing the world a favour / stop doing it / cuz you're not doing us any favours
From the album opener to the closing, you experience what I shall henceforth call GALACTIC synthwave due to its powerful sweeping analog synthesizer melodies, its thick meaty rhythms (no rinkydink sounding drum machines here), its fat, cosmic arpeggios, and of course its sometimes death-defying musical chord choices (listen to "New Beginnings"). Sonically expansive. Loud and conquering. Lovingly assembled. Beautifully produced. Lionel Valdellon (Acid42)
It's a fuzzy sound, a guitar hum, a drum patter back to a time that may or may not have actually existed.
This albums breaths and lives, it is something new and old school cool.
