lyrics
NO VANGUARD REVIVAL
///
If the members of the groups whose spirit you summon appeared in this room right now all the sudden…
Would they sign off on how you studied their time? How you subtly refined their vocab and mind?
Or would they say ‘look here what have we spawned? It’s a culture of pawns. It’s a lake full of small ponds.’
While we were doing Velvets.
They were doing Dada.
They turned on a sonnet.
And ripped it back on it.
While we were doing Pink Flag ecstatic at half mast.
Still doing Velvets.
Still doing Elvis.
And there’s no vanguard revival.
No vanguard revival.
She said ‘There’s no vanguard revival. False concept.’
The vanguard never was. A false concept.
Classical is modern.
Returning is modern.
If there’s no vanguard revival.
Then the vanguard never was.
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
