“Continuum b/w Fate“, a new two song single from LOMA PRIETA, recorded by engineer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker), has been officially announced through Deathwish Inc. label, with the impressive A-side “Continuum” straming in its entirety! is artistic editorial in the self-damning that many face on a day to day basis. Check out the full song below!
“Continuum” is artistic editorial in the self-damning that many face on a day to day basis. Playing as an examination of the perpetual motion that contemporary society demands of each one of us. Musically it glides infectiously with new depth and fuzzed out control.
B-side “Fate” uses Pixies-esque lightness to veil the weight of its message before erupting into musical chaos. Here they disguise disgust with melody while singing “Drugs and God the same distractions / Lay on the dirty floor and stare at the ceiling, like it was a planetarium dome”.
Like a lot of Loma Prietaโs stuff, it was recorded byย Jack Shirley, but unlike a lot of Loma Prietaโs stuff, โContinuumโ finds the band going in a melodic, shoegazy direction. It gets heavier and screamier at the end, but this is much more in the vein of Hum or Nothing or Alcest than what youโd normally expect from Loma Prieta. And it turns out Loma Prieta are really good at this kind of thing too. / BrooklynVegan
Expanding their unmistakeable screamo approach into powerful Fugazi-like territory.
“Continuum” lyrics:
Every Day Is So Surreal
Iโm Going To Work
And Iโm Calling Out Sick.
I Canโt Get Out Of My Fucking Head
I Guess All The Drug Abuse Isnโt A Real
Attempt Now Is It?Hiding On The Nighttime Side Of Earth
Never Touched By Sunlight
Theyโre Tracking My Phone,
Theyโre Keeping The Minutes
At Least I Know Iโll Never Be Alone.I Can Feel My Heart Breaking Every Night
Monopoly Dollar
Tree Trunk Painted White
I Took A Loss
Theyโre Keeping The Minutes
Theyโll Coax You Back
The One Dollar Bills Smell Different.Canโt Drink Poison
And Expect Someone Else To Die
Iโm Calling Out Sick
Iโm A Body Where My Brain Is.
I Guess All The Drug Abuse
Isnโt A Real Attempt
Now Is It?The One Dollar Bills Smell Different
Race To The MiddleMovers Moving
Continuum
City Of Broken Glass
Continuum
