I gave up our position and ran into a field.
Who would receive my transmission, and what would it yield?
Well, I don't know, but I hope it's soon.
Bring our salvation or bring our doom.
We seemed to me forsaken, abandoned in this field.
But I felt this sense of mission, to me alone revealed.
Why? I don't know, but I felt it still.
Warm breath from the stars, through the tall pines a chill.
Chained to the mast.
Hold fast, we are running aground.
Chained to the mast.
I gave up our position and slow the years go by.
No answer to me given, the universe expands and stars explode.
My rebellion tamed, my veins turn blue, my position changed.
Chained to the mast.
It's a trap, and we're running aground.
Chained to the mast.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Tightly wound post-punk with splashes of new wave; heavy on twangy riffs, phased-out melodies, and understated vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 2, 2023
Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2017
