lyrics
The moment that you wake from your disguise
They record you with their eyes.
No matter how, long or hard they try
You know they won’t shake it
You know they won’t shake it.
Reaching for the seam that holds you in
To find where you begin.
Frozen in the pose they've chalked us in
You know we can’t break it
You know we can’t break this.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
The shutter clicks and we’re immortalised
Flashbulb our goodbyes.
No matter how, long or hard you try
You know you can’t fake it
You know you can’t fake this.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
They record you with their eyes.
No matter how, long or hard they try
You know they won’t shake it
You know they won’t shake it.
Reaching for the seam that holds you in
To find where you begin.
Frozen in the pose they've chalked us in
You know we can’t break it
You know we can’t break this.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
The shutter clicks and we’re immortalised
Flashbulb our goodbyes.
No matter how, long or hard you try
You know you can’t fake it
You know you can’t fake this.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.

Violent Rains

I hoped so much from the Minuit Machine's second album and now I can say it is more than I could imagine. Probably the best release of this year !!!!

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 72 fans who also own “Holding On”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
go to album -
Darkwave synth that directly addresses our modern dystopian political environment, with proceeds going to the Voting Rights Project.
go to album -
Other World
by Madeline GoldsteinMadeline Goldstein's fusion of cinematic dream pop and darkwave manages to sound both nostalgic and contemporary.
go to album -
Deliciously bleak synthwave from Germany with jagged, sawing lead lines, throbbing rhythms, & ghostly vocals.
