about
Two Chords is the attempt to describe the relationship between power and art: how these 2 are connected diachronically in the profit driven perpetuation of successfully proven structures. The utter simplification of the artistic production / fruition represents a countermovement to the disruptive potential of expression. Brecht would say: Natura facit saltus (Nature makes a jump), implying that the harmonic linearity of entertaining is the origin of fiction and of soothing ideological overpower per se.
lyrics
Two Chords
And in the distance the icons calling,
We serve the purpose, master's alibi
The odd and dissonant are overwhelming
Obliterated like thieves in the night
One time to sink,
Two times to split the circle
One time to lead,
Two times to mesmerise.
Two chords to die,
To soothe our eyes,
To solve the conflicts,
Make us blind
Two chords to lie,
To grip our mind,
This bread and circuses
Cuts deep inside.
To wish upon a star?
Who needs to see these scars?
And in the slaughterhouse of our perception
We lose our senses in the masterplan
Another hit, another chant to march to,
Another lullaby to neutralise.
One time for fame,
Two times to meet the abyss
One time for crave,
Two times to feed the masses.
Two chords to die,
To soothe our eyes,
To solve the conflicts,
Make us blind.
Two chords to lie,
To grip our mind,
This bread and circuses
Cuts deep inside.
To wish upon a star?
Who needs to see these scars?

Ecstasy and suicide
Discipline and call to arms!
A di-lemma
Anti-pleasant
Ecstasy and suicide
Discipline and call to arms!
This song recently took the prize for horniest song in my music library, an honor previously allowed to (surprise!) another Aesthetic Perfection song. When this guy sets out to make a sex jam, he really does not hold back. musicalcat311
Dark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2019
