Payment Declined
from It's Safe by Side Thing
lyrics
Deep, dug and spread
where they land
reaching out
out for me
out for you
past your teeth
through your eyes
They're knocking above your door and knocking outside the glass for you, to see
They're knocking outside your window
how can you say that you don't know, or can't see?
It's there, coming up
It's a lot, to keep down
keep it down, with a stone
on dead grass, in the back
I don't know where you're going
walking into the slaughter that's inside you
I know that it seems better, letting it slowly fester
but it kills you
I don't know what to say now
you're always the one who left me
it's always the same with us
validation dressed so pretty
it's always the same with us
underneath a mask of envy
let's just play a simple game
go to work and pay our bills and just be happy
where they land
reaching out
out for me
out for you
past your teeth
through your eyes
They're knocking above your door and knocking outside the glass for you, to see
They're knocking outside your window
how can you say that you don't know, or can't see?
It's there, coming up
It's a lot, to keep down
keep it down, with a stone
on dead grass, in the back
I don't know where you're going
walking into the slaughter that's inside you
I know that it seems better, letting it slowly fester
but it kills you
I don't know what to say now
you're always the one who left me
it's always the same with us
validation dressed so pretty
it's always the same with us
underneath a mask of envy
let's just play a simple game
go to work and pay our bills and just be happy

about
Side Thing Rockford, Illinois
I asked the local witch to throw some twigs and pine cones down my basement stairs and this was the sound it made. I screamed, she screamed, the stairs is still screaming.

One of my favorite groups to have ever existed, dreampop / shoegaze at its best. Best listened to with headphones in a location where no one can bother you.

One-man project Vlimmer exists in the borderlands between post-punk and industrial/EBM, creating danceable darkness.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of HazePerfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
go to album -
The striking synth/goth songs on the latest from Vlimmer feel 50 stories tall, with gigantic walls of sound and bleak, ominous vocals.

I just heard "Monica" on the radio. This is the exact vibe/sound I was looking for.
