This song discusses film as a cultural transmitter, and domesticated English remakes as a microcosm to the larger idea of cultural hegemony. Are we as Americans truly unable to read subtitles, let alone contend with the frightening concept of trying to learn another language, another perspective? In this light, many films are remade in a domestic framework, neither challenging intellect nor even allowing the aesthetic of foreign images to reach our eyes. With a huge population, only 30% of whom hold passports, are we turning further inward to avoid the discomfort of discovering anything different?
lyrics
whether the last refuge of scoundrels
or the victuals of skinny failures and potbellied successes
the colored cloth is first used to shrink-wrap the mind
then as a ceremonial shroud
everything in frame sanitized
articulated as such for the ease of relation
to limit oneself first and foremost
at the most critical confluence: of diversity and experience the scene the setting the origins obsolete
the most sincere effort to not learn anything
we’ve cast the net of culture wide and deep
and coated the world authoritatively
but how much is the journey worth
when more often than not
every city is painted like your own shitty block

I don't mean to be a "first albums only" elitist or anything of the sort since I didn't even discover these guys til maybe a year and change ago, but truth be told- the demo tracks are my favorites despite Deafheaven's undeniable growth and evolution into a broader sort of awesome. satangutsandchristcorpsepaint

Punk rock has gone stale with kids trying to relive a generation they were never part of, while Dangers try's to break free from the generic reproduction of radio friendly punk immacculate_vibes

Agreed with Dima1979 this is a fucking Gem. A platinum grade beauty that is going to hold the test of time.
I’ll never bore of this album it’s so diverse in style per minute it’s almost schizophrenic.
It also has a pair of tits on the cover! What the fuck more you need… Tell Ya Fucking Story Walking…
