"No drinks tonight, just worries Come on down and I’ll tell you why it is That even I can’t tell you exactly why Perhaps because I wonder too? Bittersweet conspiracy of wistfulness Drug of your persona scars my entity Dust pours over me and I look away Taste of sour lips leave me dry Just the same old words in my mouth Nothing happens except repetition of age It will all be alright again, I promise you Draw affection like lines in the sand No party tonight, don’t come over I wanna be the one to question I need to be my own best friend If I’m gonna walk beside myself Detoxification, public isolation Break down the ideal and let it wither Put it in a box and throw away the key I told you so, didn’t I? No thoughts tonight, just empty sky No aching, just stillness in my bed No limit to hopes and dreams No worries tonight, just sleep"

"When I dream I am still awake I would like to sing a song about the people I love the future and the past society and reality when I dream I am still awake When you run you are standing still Do you remember open landscape two thousand and three stay stay stay with me society and reality When you run you are standing still Sometimes reality is too complex for us to take When we dream we are still awake"

"Fly by bulletins, district maps, signs on marble grey. Red on white, different zones, bright lights for drowsy eyes. It's a ride through a tunnel, station new city grid. Resolute anti solitude, desolate building, straying commute, escalator auto ascension. Black rectangle, black rectangle, black rectangle, black rectangle. Corner window, sudden light behind, no movement inside flicker. I know it's you."

"Time a ripple stained by memory space in air space in sky in wood and ground stay here for days stay happy stay here for days mesmerized eyes don’t cry for mesmerized eyes don’t cry for you mesmerized eyes don’t cry unkempt precipice the empty borders deliberately lost circles begin and end precursors to pain cut out and forget fever pasts future events ragged heroes sleeping without pace jangly new plastic protein physics hope is out when the time is in war is coming give up give in withdraw to a mystery running to no escape cables plugged to walls pavement cracks amber skin clap hands close fist shut mouth open mind humid face halts hazel hair noises from below new territory strange days fantasy and glory collateral ephemeral an unnatural guarantee bonding and subordinate misery without necessity happiness within itself I won’t ever grow old"

about

Two new hits (1 and 4), a previously unreleased gem (2) and a golden oldie (3) equals one EP of hip Danish anti-hipster pop-rock.

These tracks are dedicated to words and scribblings, notebooks and pieces of paper, books and other literature. And librarians all over the world.

about

The Immoderate Past Denmark

A band, but then again not really. Dreamy indie rock with weird ideas and poetic songwriting coupled with a lot of guitars and old drum machines. Science fiction from the future about the past.
