about
Embarking on a Cure-like sonic voyage reminiscent of the 'Head on the Door' and the 'Kiss Me Era,' 'Better Than Going Under' manifests as a romantic, somber daydream. William Maybelline's brooding baritone intertwines with sighing back vocals, narrating an ode to life's fleeting yet boundless vistas. The acoustic strums initiate a folk-driven narrative which, when coupled with a celestial choir, crafts a contemplative soundscape of cautious optimism. The lyricism, "Life is full of wonder, it's better than going under," encapsulates a message of endurance amidst life's turbulent waves of sorrow. This track tenderly encourages listeners to embrace the small joys within life's limited vastness, portraying a psychedelic narrative reminiscent of the evocative vibes of Echo and the Bunnymen or The Church. The key change in the chorus amplifies the emotive voyage, making 'Better Than Going Under' a compelling narrative that beckons listeners to find joy amidst life's unpredictable ebb and flow, rather than succumbing to the undertow of despair.
lyrics
LIFE IS FULL OF WONDER
ITS BETTER, THAN GOING UNDER
SKIP THE COFIN AND LETS MEET UP
WE HAVEN’T YET LAUGHED HARD ENOUGH
COSMIC CORPSE, O’ COSMIC CORPSE
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA COME, BACK TO EARTH
Life is full of wonder
So before you grab the rope
I urge you to ponder
We haven’t yet died of laugher
So take a deep breath and I’ll dive in after
COSMIC CORPSE, O’ COSMIC CORPSE
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA COME, BACK TO EARTH

Nichts - yes, just that as a reflection of my current circumstances & thinkings of a life itself. Album is great! After a long, long time, brought me back to Selofan. I alwayas liked that cold-wave/dark-wave sound. vladimir milojkovity

Super cool ESG-style herky-jerky post-punk with lots of groove, attitude, and glitched out electronics plus wiry guitars. Truly wild stuff! Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 27, 2023
