Guernica 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Draw outlines dedicated to your mind Think what you want and colour it in with crayon And all while Guernica radiates Prevailing thought dessed up as epiphany Woe betide you if you start reading books And all while Orwell turns in his grave (Meanwhile they're dropping bombs - structures and systems go unquestioned. Meanwhile they're dropping bombs - who on earth owns our information?) But don't give up hope in the face of all the questions that you have I still believe in the good remains I still believe in all the good things that you said

Dystopia Now 04:17
lyrics
buy track
I've got a ghost It's the words I spoke And the steps I took And the lines I wrote. I never chose Haunted by my own memories Reanimated by the thieves Vying for control of me Incessantly. And I'm asking: "Why? Why are we OK? Why are we OK with this?" I can't be bought I can't be owned But you read my letters and you bugged my phone When will it stop? I feel it coming... All you care about is moving numbers, all those moving numbers. Dystopia Now! Why are we OK with this?

Floating 04:29
lyrics
buy track
In the middle of the building storm, I In the middle of the rising sea, you Your eyes a controlled explosion, We are... In the middle of the baying hordes, I In the middle of the rationing, you Your eyes a controlled explosion, We are free and complete Floating up above the crowd Floating up beyond the clouds As the buildings begin caving in, I As the fire consumes everything, you Close your eyes and you won't feel a thing We are free and complete Floating up above the crowd Floating up beyond the clouds There'll be no harm, no enemy

What were those dreams I had? Have I woken up? Memories run like tears through your crude make-up. Was it love or a trick of the light? Am I dead or alive? Two and two equals five.

about

What We Call Progress image

What We Call Progress Northumberland, UK

Glitch rock philosophers from Newcastle upon Tyne, What We Call Progress make music in the tension between nihilistic despair and a genuine hope in the power of togetherness.

With samples taken from malfunctioning children's toys, forced rhubarb and twisted live recordings, they build accessible melody and riffs from the unexpected and unconventional. ... more
