about
Song is about family
lyrics
my old man is a dust bowl
he doesn't want to know me,
but we share a lust
for the girls in my high-school
and a propensity for
aggressive behavior
my step dad was a biker
now he's a machine shop sloth
he's got a mean left hook
and a temper
shorter than his sober time
my mom is a drunk
that's about all there is
to say about her
my sister is a soft goth
who traded her father's god
for online astrology charlatans
my brother is a dealer
abuse is the only thing in his life
relating to substance
we live in tewksbury
where failure is a habit
and all of our pleasures are guilty
they don't want to talk about free will
they don't want to talk about beauty
all they want to talk about are
sports and gossip and coupons
i want to live a long life
only so one day i may
dance on their wholesome graves
he doesn't want to know me,
but we share a lust
for the girls in my high-school
and a propensity for
aggressive behavior
my step dad was a biker
now he's a machine shop sloth
he's got a mean left hook
and a temper
shorter than his sober time
my mom is a drunk
that's about all there is
to say about her
my sister is a soft goth
who traded her father's god
for online astrology charlatans
my brother is a dealer
abuse is the only thing in his life
relating to substance
we live in tewksbury
where failure is a habit
and all of our pleasures are guilty
they don't want to talk about free will
they don't want to talk about beauty
all they want to talk about are
sports and gossip and coupons
i want to live a long life
only so one day i may
dance on their wholesome graves

Orange Mathematics

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.

“Aki” is an atmospheric masterpiece, with skyscraping guitars and dense layers of sweeping electronics.

Rising UK trio FES balance math rock's instrumental mischief with pop punk's anthemic sweetness for a distinctive, endearing sound.
