The Familiar
from Haunted House by VAZUM
lyrics
Everything you do and say
Leftovers from yesterday
Replicating the mainstays
Still don't get ya paid
Can't you hear what I'm saying
I'm breaking your malaise
I'm bringing forth new days
It spells out your decay
You'll offer me false praise
Crushing with Cacophony
Drowning mediocrity
We are here now
Rotten pool of luxury
Pissing in your stagnant stream
A fountain of tears
Forty two years
Painting all your flowers grey
Cowardice keeps you this way
Mimicking the way they played
Might just get ya laid
Something new is heresy
Silencing your mockery
Destroy insincerity
Who cares anyway
We all see you're an imitation, a copy
We can see all your limitations, you're obsolete
Leftovers from yesterday
Replicating the mainstays
Still don't get ya paid
Can't you hear what I'm saying
I'm breaking your malaise
I'm bringing forth new days
It spells out your decay
You'll offer me false praise
Crushing with Cacophony
Drowning mediocrity
We are here now
Rotten pool of luxury
Pissing in your stagnant stream
A fountain of tears
Forty two years
Painting all your flowers grey
Cowardice keeps you this way
Mimicking the way they played
Might just get ya laid
Something new is heresy
Silencing your mockery
Destroy insincerity
Who cares anyway
We all see you're an imitation, a copy
We can see all your limitations, you're obsolete

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 9 fans who also own “The Familiar”
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.

the last vinyl repress is more pink than red, but still very pretty. a great piece of record. Too bad there's no poster attached to the preview (or maybe I was just unlucky lol).

Really enjoy this. Takes me back to high school 80s. Touches early Simple Minds, Peter Murphy, Echo&The Bunnymen, etc. Very tight, well done.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
