(context as follows:) 1. UNDOING A LUCIFERIAN TOWERS – look at that fucking skyline! big lazy money writ in dull marble obelisks! imagine all those buildings much later on, hollowed out and stripped bare of wires and glass, listen- the wind is whistling through all 3,000 of its burning window-holes! 2. BOSSES HANG – labor, alienated from the wealth it creates, so that holy cow, most of us live precariously! kicking at it, but barely hanging on! also – the proud illuminations of our shortened lives! also – more of us than them! also – what we need now is shovels, wells, and barricades! 3. FAM / FAMINE – how they kill us = absentee landlord, burning high-rise. the loud panics of child-policemen and their exploding trigger-hands. with the dull edge of an arbitrary meritocracy. neglect, cancer maps, drone strike, famine. the forest is burning and soon they’ll hunt us like wolves. 4. ANTHEM FOR NO STATE – kanada, emptied of its minerals and dirty oil. emptied of its trees and water. a crippled thing, drowning in a puddle, covered in ants. the ocean doesn’t give a shit because it knows it’s dying too. finally and in conclusion; the “luciferian towers” L.P. was informed by the following grand demands: + an end to foreign invasions + an end to borders + the total dismantling of the prison-industrial complex + healthcare, housing, food and water acknowledged as an inalienable human right + the expert fuckers who broke this world never get to speak again much love to all the other lost and wondering ones, xoxoxox god’s pee / montréal / 4 juillet, 2017 credits released September 22, 2017 PERSONNEL Aidan Girt: Drums David Bryant: Electric guitar, MG-One Efrim Manuel Menuck: Electric guitar, organ, OP-1 Karl Lemieux: 16mm film projections Mauro Pezzente: Electric bass Michael Moya: Electric guitar Sophie Trudeau: Violins, organ Thierry Amar: Contrebasse, electric bass Timothy Herzog: Drums GUESTS ON TRACK ONE Bonnie Kane (saxophone, flute, electronics) Craig Pederson (trumpet) Recorded by Greg Norman at Hotel 2 Tango and The Pines.
