Featuring Justin Pearson (the Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B, Retox, Head Wound City, All Leather, Three One G Records), Brian Amalfitano (ACxDC), Scott Osment (Weak Flesh) and Jason Klein (Run with the Hunted), Deaf Club are back a few years after their Productive Disruption debut with another “scathing indictment of society” in the form of We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness. The band’s second album is a sturdier affair replete with more speed, more riffs, more alien guitar sounds and more middle fingers thrown up at the world. And here’s your chance to experience a little slice of it before its release date on August 22nd via Southern Lord. The track in question is called “Crap Circles” and here’s what frontman Person had to say about it: “I get bummed on myself for the lyrics I write and how they are always seeped in negativity. I don’t want to say the negative stuff I do, but I have no other artistic option. Not only do I have little faith in humans at this point, but the constant blanket of stress and anxiety from the sheer stupidity of people in modern society warrants the words I write. The play on words with the title ties into aliens, and how if we were to be officially visited, or at least abducted, we could collectively throw out all the bullshit dogma that humans still seem to embrace, such as religion, the excessive ego, the rampant disrespect for one another as well as the planet in general, and the fact that we’ve managed to shove our heads so far up our asses we miss everything that actually matters.”
Lyrics for “Crap Circles”
Science doesn’t care what you think.
Doom loop god’s shit will just still stink.
Slip in slimelight blind eyes won’t blink.
Terraforming profit won’t sync.
Let’s act a fool, drain the gene pool.
Science doesn’t care what I know.
Doom loop god’s shit will just still blow.
Slip in slimelight blind eyes won’t glow.
Terraforming profit is dough.
Let’s act a fool, drain the gene pool.
Oh, God crapped in the pool.
Post lunacy just feels crappy.
Downgrade for free, suck it and see.
As The bureaucrats cried,
“Jargon Monoxide”
we spoke in tongues tied.
Numb, dumb city wide.
Science doesn’t care what you think.
Science doesn’t care what I know.
Crap in the pool.
