4 L T 4 R S While it would be easy to name check progenitors like New Order, Joy Division, Killing Joke, Psychedelic Furs and The Jesus and Mary Chain, all more than likely an influence here, it makes better sense to view this confluence of inspiration for what it looks like as a whole; an outstanding proponent of an exciting new era for this revered genre. -TG/4LT4RS Favorite track: Across the Break.

She wears it like it was a uniform and maybe time is all we'll lose and baby, they can pry all they want from you their crime is breaking up the two And maybe they won't like all I have for them In fact I'll bet it all on true They're everywhere they're everywhere now [Don't run away] They're everywhere They're everywhere now [Don't turn away] Through vacant eyes it's all beautiful the way it softens up the truth Throw down your arms tonight It's me they want, not you their sky's not black enough for two They're everywhere they're everywhere now [Don't run away] They're everywhere They're everywhere now [Don't turn away] A band of silver lay on the ground Two hands surround the width of a crown (for you)

Good Friday 03:25
So gracious Frustration Torches held aloft Some graces Embrace us With isolation fraught But we're Holding on Anointed are the flame Hearts sailing Minds railing Remaining Rapturous Waiting, waiting for you Waiting, waiting for you Come find us We're naked Still raging covered in lime to stage Some form of Take over Or go and start again But we're Holding on So brazen our desire Is nothing Still sacred? we marvel at our truth And now you will And now you won't Transcend this trial and this trope
3.
Engaged and falling from the earth Remaining faithful of the birth Given the blessing of a name, the same Christened to rise beyond the flame, i wait Taste your breath Biding time Kissed by the phases of the moon Gaining strength Finding light Kissed by the phases of the moon Still dreaming, standing in the wake Cursors of light begin to break Electric skies that bring the fall to call Late summer haze obscures the view no more Taste your breath Biding time Kissed by the phases of the moon Gaining strength Finding light Kissed by the phases of the moon A crescent falls above the lit skyline A cloudless sky beckons the night

Untethered 03:44
And when you come stumble down from your safe-hold Free form and falling out of poor faith Still flawed and quartered along without any pause or blame Place all of your faith in a cause that feels grateful now And will you ever walk my way? And will you ever turn from the edge? And will we ever call for relent? And will this bullshit ever end? Of any circumstance that is let go This tether grown shorter now by the day And all of these fucking walls that have cluttered up my way Too tall to see past, too broad to allay And will you ever walk my way? And will you ever turn from the edge? And will we ever call for relent? And will this bullshit ever end? Starts to break you down Starts to break me down Starts to break you down alone

Cults of failure A Meek and frail core Now breaking underneath the cross Sinking pale sun Under a maelstrom A Gesture faintly heavenward Where the blame lie Cuts through the same sky And still we ever hold the sword And still we're waiting on some word Elusive, faded and unheard Absolved whole and free Pleading for sweet amnesty (On one knee) Flawed in framework Craven praise for False gods, a piety of sorts Prophets fail us Fronts impale us Bleed out awaiting some reward We choose to rise and fall We choose the mute or call We choose the higher path Or relive the poisoned past In your world
6.
Cobalt Sky 03:00
Foreseen, forethought Beneath a sheen of frost Breathe deep, thawed out again The spring cries out Broke from a winter shroud Forelorn and on the mend For the fading gray Forgone the endless stay For the feeding light Lost in the listing night Under cobalt sky And all the days gone by Shining souls unknown Keeping still the air to behold To reap, to sow Far from the peace that's known Listen, silence amends Be still, don't weep Gaze toward the solemn keep because This grail, Christens again An arresting haze Cut by a ceaseless blaze Where the destined find Just where the truth resides Where then the darkness falls And where the wars disarm All Those that steal away In search of better days
7.
Ice cold, all told Now seems is where we are Unknown, eyes closed Do dreams betray? We've taken every pain for these wounds Bled and dried Fire healed and cauterized in kind Sutured tight Stars that fall in vain Scarred by an acid rain Is this the elegy of our love? For the grace of all To heed the heavens' call Is this the elegy of our love? No time exists We breathe beyond the grid No scheme proceeds We'd not agreed Here in the seething arms of a world trite and cruel We move to struggle from this swirl Of silent screams We'll wait no more
8.
Immaculate 03:40
And as you fall in my arms and when you're placed in my arms Something has brought us to a silent empty place to fill the void with our warmth and forgive the day Rise up from where you are Step forth, a lighted path within immaculate refrain I feel the breaking dawn Spring forth from where you are Suffered the spoils of fate As our beacons light the way And when you've released your harm And as we'd tread toward the storm A squall of blinding torrents and frigid sheets of rain Emerging, our sole reward To forgive the day
9.
Like Hell 03:17
all across the board held out against our own hopes to avoid the threat of empty homes plug in dependency the calm of despondency a stand-in electric soul no need to leave my home no more like hell they'll run with fading conscience hold fast it's on the way evading sun in our waking hours still wasted on the way up on the wall bold type for all to see bask in the glow of our self-celebrity what was the last you heard the fall of the outside world? a touchscreen of modern art held close against your heart and just know We were so pure? Are we so cured? Oh Lord, Good God, you've gotta be joking now like hell we will go racing forward or backward on our knees our stake in it defines an error a fine staus update
10.
Cloudburst 03:42
False starts, debates of a course here stone zealots alone stark pillars of faith, too bold or unknown Four score and no more as the time breaks forced open the door Gaze now at the places we'd tread before When you break when you open up your sky as senses fade and phrases subside When you break when you falter at the sight ascending in defense of the night Thunder, a flame in the rain grow Full senses alive Cloudburst, a grain of our truth arrives Arms flail in depths of their gray light cries muffled to low Deeds marshaled in line with a world they've sown When you break when you open up your sky as senses fade and phrases subside When you break when you falter at the sight ascending in defense of the night Held below Colored panes Shatter cold And I taste the breaking glass with you
11.
This keep, neck deep in all the ebb and flow Now lie in wait Exhausted at the tow Unrest, at best Engaged none the less At war, untoward Silence at your behest And on the hallowed ground we've lain Seen again Absent of artifice, disdain No soul to blame Linger in ethers of another time, another place Hangs in the air across the break Submerged in strife The advent of a life Both sides collide An arbiter arrives Torn by the past Remnants of sorrow last Your voice, your choice In this a die is cast No harm, no foul No need to run from now Unlearn, in turn Pulled by a distant sound In dreams, it seems Devise a simple plan With ease, it's seen Not hard to understand

about

GRANDEUR Connecticut

"...a punchy and quite edgy drive along a distinctive, darkened and noisy take on modern-day post-punk that amazingly merges with the scratchy, emotional Psychedelic Furs’ Richard Butler-like vocals; the energetic pace, the vibrant and piercing razor-sharp guitar lines, the penetrating intensity and melodic immediacy defined a fierce, heartfelt and exciting new band to keep a close eye on." ... more
