The Boiler Room Anthem
April 22, 2019

I was living in a radical Maoist cell
In the boiler room of a big hotel
Where nobody went 'cause nobody knew it was there

We were talking in a language that only we
Understood because how could it be
That anyone else had any good sense to care

We were in love!
All ten of us!
Dressed in our chef hats
We knew that was enough
There was more stuff
But it didn't matter

There was no downside
It was a cottony landslide of crystals and botany
Man, I'd go crazy if I could recapture the patter
But Saturday I'll be

Returning to my radical Maoist cell
Yes I took a break, which was fine and swell
But I'm coming back and I'm humming black metal tunes

If you're waiting maybe for another shoe to drop
Think again you jackboot fascist cop
For it's great down here in our secret boiler room

Down in the boiler room we dance
Down in the boiler room we sing
It's the start of a whole new world
It's the start of a whole new thing

I am a queer goth who works in climate. thanks for giving my soul an outlet for all this despair. I too dream of gutting billionaires... and would gladly drown when the flood comes for them. thanks for helping me keep the abyss at bay and stay in the fight. can't thank you enough for this album. alder-knight

SOL: A Self-Banishment Ritual

1st & 2nd listen: a masterclass in what I'll call the "industrial crooner" style, since the actual genre morphs from one song to the next. nofatclips

On both Avalanche and the Whirlwind Remix particularly, Seeming manages the seemingly impossible feat of making it sound like there's 2 or 3 different songs going on simultaneously, in the best possible way. Such a huge spacious sound, and immaculate production and songwriting. Also, I'm pretty sure Leonard Cohen would have heartily approved of this version of "Avalanche". <3 Conor Connolly
