Swallowed by the hive
We, amesoeurs, are the children of this sad and metallic century. We are receptors capturing the aggressive and unhealthy waves of the industrial era. We have always been equally disgusted and fascinated by everything relating to cities and urban lifestyle, that is to say the endless rows of grey and threatening buildings, the throng of souls that they accomodate, the perpetual motion, the danger, the winding alleyways, the smoky and dubious bars, old graffitis, train stations, casinos and other hostile gaming rooms, the freezing neon lights during the night, nightlife, technology, futuristic buildings, sex, depravation, poverty, anxiety, filth, whores, the suffocating smells of pollution combined with sweat, shit and piss.
Human beings have been perverted, swallowed up by urban lifestyle, they have sold their souls cheap. We live in a hell made of metal and concrete where frightened men get lost and merge into one another like the insects of a gigantic hive. Shadows amongst shadows, they more or less carry out their shitty jobs and then drown their issues and sorrow in intoxication. Television, booze, cigs, and constrained laughs are the ways to forget...
The number of degenerates and depressives is increasing each day, narcotics are the latest fashion candy, streets are swarming with junkies and repulsive hobos, AIDS has infiltrated syringes left on public benches. It flows along with drugs, sperm and tears into the veins of the Metropolis.
We are neither intellectuals nor politicians. We don't have any "solution" to the "problem", if only there is one. We just want to FEEL, contemplate and ECHO the sound that the modern world and its absurdities have inspired us with.
We are fascinated by the cyberpunk/post-apocalyptic world and the music of the 80s. We infinitely worship The Cure, Depeche Mode, Anne Clark, Virgin Prunes, Clan of Xymox and Joy Division of course.
Amesoeurs is a spit, the only way we have to spew out the anxiety and frustration tied to the difficulties of existence and the pursuit of happiness in our modern society. |
