until the ribbon breaks // 2025

Imagine if Philip K. Dick or Ray Bradbury delved into music or even better their twined DNA accidentally got exposed to Gamma rays and mutated. If said accident ever took place perhaps the end result wouldn’t be much of a negative after all and instead we’d get the gorgeous catastrophe called Until The Ribbon Breaks. I am but a mortal man but even I an appreciate the extraterrestrial and enigmatic beauty of the their music. In watching the video for 2025 one gets a peek of the apocalyptic  reality of a possible future earth, and the lyrics, which are sheer horrific beauty:

I was born with my back to the stars
Turn me over, I’d like to see
Here comes the morning to end our dream
Turn me over, I’d like to see
I was born with my back to the stars
Please see that they tell my truth
Please see that they tell my truth

So who’s your favorite superhero?
Or did we lose the fear?
Or maybe we just don’t need saving
But while we’re here
Could you tell me when the lights come on?
This does not feel like home
If it’s something that I paid for
It should be something that I own

So don’t we look pretty with nowhere to go?
It’s cool to be lonely, didn’t you know?
I think I’ll marry a stranger that I met online
It’s not that it’s not love, it’s just a sign of the times
Of the time

If only we could learn some patience
I’ll take a course
Or maybe we should split the money
Go straight for divorce
Could you tell me when we fall in love?
Or just write it down
Let me know if you find my feelings
Just if you see them around

So don’t we look pretty with nowhere to go?
It’s cool to be lonely, didn’t you know?
I think I’ll marry a stranger that I met online
It’s not that it’s not love, it’s just a sign of the times
Of the time

Oh, I need a feeling, I need a fix
To take me on driving, we could sleep in the stakes
It’s too much, too easy, long for the chase
I long for the gaps and the words, I long for the space

So don’t we look pretty with nowhere to go?
It’s cool to be lonely, didn’t you know?
I think I’ll marry a stranger that I met online
It’s not that it’s not love, it’s just a sign of the times
Of the time.

If I were a record needle this is the perfect vinyl grave I would love to be buried in. Check out the accompanying video after the jump. Also, if you like the band’s first single Pressure then you’ll love Village Remix. Peace.
