~ music and lyrics: Jeff Gallea & James Tabbi 1987
We took the blood, my brothers blood, and cast it ashore
We took the blood, my brothers blood, and drank the wine
We took the blood, my brothers blood, and cast it ashore
We took the blood, my brothers blood, and painted finger paints
And now we suffer, The stain of man
And now we suffer, The stain on my hand
The Stain
We took the hand, the hand of God, and made plaster casts
We took the hand, the hand of God, and painted finder paints
We took the hand, the hand of God, and made plaster casts
We took the hand, the hand of God, and fit him with rings
And now we suffer, The stain of man
And now we suffer, The stain on my hand
The Stain
The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and there's a ring in my ear
The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and there's a thorn in my side
The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and there's a ring in my ear
The sky is falling, the sky will fall, and the sea will not part
And now we suffer, The stain of man
And now we suffer, The stain on my hand
The Stain

Slowly backtracking and collecting the backcatalog of Boy Harsher here... As always rife with beautiful sounding detuned retro synth goodness and beautiful and melancholic vocal melodies.
In a couple week gonna get another chance to see you guys live in Riga again! Cheers comaunite
Philadelphia's Lira Landes's first LP as Plastic Ivy is a dreamy New Romantic love letter to the possibilities of the analog synth. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 22, 2020
Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2021
Darkwave synth that directly addresses our modern dystopian political environment, with proceeds going to the Voting Rights Project. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2018
Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much.
Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work. Sentient Helicopters
