lyrics

I’ll burn the candles down and
See what shapes appear
Meditate on what’s perceived
Tallow run in rivers out about my open hands
Slowly forms into a sea
Hiding all that’s underneath

It’s a shallow wave
Cresting over me
But it blocks out all the light

Settle up all my accounts and
Bury them with me
To celebrate what they achieved
Rain down until they blossom out of the decay
A bloom of weeds and credit scores
In the earth like an open sore

And there’s nothing more to say
The price is to be paid
The choices that you made
Carry a weight
They carry a weight

So now it’s time to show your hand
Against another tilting play
Yeah we know the deck is stacked
But they still raise you anyway
And you could try and claw it back
In some version of the game
Delight in all the luck
That never slipped away
Collecting all your hope
Without weighing up your breath
As all your demons gather round
To administrate your death

And you’d hold onto the pain
If you could do it all again
But try and keep your memories straight
And always keep your eyes open
Because wasn’t it enough
Just to try and bear the weight
When they came to call your name
And the light began to fade
With all the paperwork filled out
And all the signatures in pen
And you had wanted to cry out
But you knew there was nothing left

Rupt and Flex (1994 - 96)

As a band, they were really doing something strange at the time by making music that sounded so resolutely like it came from the bedroom of a solo producer. "Vocals" are just snatches of floating sound, drums are often electronic... all the instruments sound electronic. They were clearly inspired by dub (who isn't) and started with stripped-down fragments, but then kept whittling down from there. Mood-wise they're bleak yet beautiful, like enjoying a solo walk in an industrial landscape. Jascha Narveson
