barnoisefan Soft groove and light melancholy combined with psychedelic lyrics of underground postintellectuals. The ears of desperate dance-funk lovers will not cease to excite interesting musical moves. It is important to note that each next track is not like the previous one, which is often the case with many music producers working in the dance industry. But guys from Goon Gun definitely had the experience to create an opus filled with catchy tunes that you will hum in the subway on the way to dull job. Favorite track: Agent Awkward.

Tell me if it’s fun, after all the failures To watch the giddy elephants crush desecrated doves My dick feels like a gun, the only legal weapon I’ll shoot my honest gratitude into some crevices above Morning, here I come – a slow-burning loser Sampling different layers of priapic agony Moloch beats his drum, making no excuses All the veins are severed and the fountain slowly bleeds   At least we do an awesome job at hiding disaffection At least we keep the noble equilibrium I hope it’s eating at us both and I’m not mistaken Who said we don’t deserve our cosmic liaison? Are you medicated now? Entrapped by ugly rumors? The Mandala of rooms invades your cold prescription dreams Now tell me if it’s fun Devoid of any humor, our dangerous agenda has reshaped us from within So who’s the boss? And who’s the martyr? I bear the cross! And it gets harder, harder, harder! At least we do an awesome job At least we serve a noble cause Now it’s a real horror show

Just look at my hands – they’re hard’n’heavy And closeness savvy That’s how we animals roll The last line of defense is deteriorating And I shouldn’t have blamed her at all   Why can’t you see the catastrophe? Please feed my demons and go Will you get them? Tell me, you will get them, girl Why can’t you see the catastrophe? This is the end of my world Armageddon, this is Armageddon, yo!    I’m an old man, I’m an old man Squatting in a van, messing with a magiс wand Smoking ancient weed, tell me what you need Scarabs all around, hissing in the dark All in slow-mo, all in slow-mo, get down! Do you feel sick, you lunatic? I’m rooting for your purity Bedazzled seductresses, erotic paralysis Fleshy panoramas, materialistic dramas True machos in pajamas still crying for their mamas But you’re the one who’s fearless in the dead of night So take this broken dick and learn to fight For your life   I walk in a trance See pedestrians waving As the horniness drains me The fine art of losing control Fear swallows my brains And her zombie persuasion Drags me over the edge and beyond

We wash our days in orange light of Betelgeuse We share our nights with skinny, coked-up prostitutes With goat-faced pushers and Lacanian scholars With damaged MILFs and cod-Victorian poofs   Kill the motherfuckers Before they kick our caffeinated ass DCI Mudakis Will decorate you corpse with gummy bears      Relax, we’ll talk specifics later Breathe in miasma of downtown Step on the death accelerator The fun’s just started Officer down! Enjoy the static Officer down!   We cracked the code of anti-social fewer doom We smashed the creepy goblet of satanic goo Police Academy tattoos on our biceps You are my partner and I tell you the truth, bro    Criminal transgression Where did I put that skull, mon brave? Predator confessions More intimate than your forbidden love

Come closer, Agent Awkward Do a line and welcome aboard Who knows what’s being offered? Don’t bail on us, we need your support   You enter heaven with all these people, bikinied divas and grinning suits Fine champagne will make your giggle, it’s time to mingle and let loose You are the deputy with no identity A cipher full of vigor and spunk Poor choices made you rich, so give a thank you speech The jury will jacuzzi your junk   Hey, gigolo There is no law Anubis moving full steam ahead   Handsome parvenu Now you’re trancing and you’re grooving and you’re handling it like a Renaissance man Dancing in the pool, you’re the avatar of cool and you never want this party to end, boy never want this party never want this party never want this party to end   Dined among the disappeared – D.B. Cooper, Avo Piht Earhart, Bierce, Louie Le Prince Venerated absentees Richey Manic quoting Marx Mike Rockefeller with his jungle scars Ylenia Carrisi rocking sexy shorts Donald Crowhurst downing shots Illuminati alumnae - will you close an eye for me? Let me see you close an eye for me! Let me see you disappear   Sweaty Lolitas making faces through peacock feathers and jungle haze No social networks keep your traces, your history completely erased You are the escapee, no friends or family No lovers, no possessions, no roots Poor choices made you rich, so give a thank you speech This ship of ghosts your final kibbutz

Centaur Sr. 04:14
Night’s queasy blackness hides my shame Why do I have to be so lame? The past, face down in a pool of wine Nasty habits of a happy clown   Time to accept my destiny - finally, finally Mischievous gods abandoned me  When I succumbed to boredom The very day we broke apart - cry for me, cry for me     A beautiful city died in my heart A mystical city drowned in my heart      Love is not a gift to be returned Blood smeared across the bathroom floor Night, can you stay here for a while? Why does she lie here with this weird Kabuki smile?

Rubber capes and bondage ropes Painful closure in details You peer through broken telescopes Gorging on distorted space Trying to cure misanthropy With medieval discipline Demons hiding in a tree Merchant’s groan and soldier’s grin   Come in, she’s already naked Come in, it’s you turn to take her Come in, there’s no need to fake it Come in and dive into vacuum   Throughout her vacancy your soul is stretched, a shameful shroud Polluted potency You’re bound to fall through endless pits of doubt   They threw themselves like animals Salivating at her feet Madness in their lupine eyes The loop of torture made complete They tore her knitted wedding dress As horns approved calamities  Remedies on witches’ breath Sacred flesh on rotten teeth No sound She’s gone and stones are mired in coldness Unwound, the thread of life will vanish in the ground

Fly Dexa Fly 04:37
I dreamt of a party on a hill, supremely drunk Dancing away the fear of being left behind Religiously naked, we tripped by the lake, wet bodies were shaking, unconcerned And all of a sudden, I’m standing outside and years just keep on sliding, no returns        I will cut my heart in two, if you want me to I just wonder without you around the city   Fly high, fly high, courageous No need to cry, you’re ageless And we’re happy in our cages I’ll never touch the skyline like you do   We’re losing our friends while keeping straight faces and hitting walls And nothing can mask the bird-shaped hole that scars my soul It feels like falling, when nobody’s home and the voices keep calling through the fog Happiness happened, it’s never too late to add an amusing epilogue   There’s nothing left to break We did it, we did it, yeah!   Never let me down Bodies all around I believe in you Take me somewhere new

Alien Eve 04:32
Can you define the impact of neglect, inspecting dusky wastelands of your soul? Is there any chance your tenderness prevails over disillusion and loss? See the giant flower rotting back to bloom See the cities inundated with clouds Hungry walls of vegetation breaking through Let them swallow what is left of our hearts   One day you’ll feel the inescapable tide Imperial hopes reanimated inside Under the glowing and hysterical moon Hey, Alien Eve, will you relive the moment of our confluence? Will you believe? Will you forgive? Kissed by a demon fox Vibrating tears in an iron box Fears crawl from a hole in a broken wall Raw nerves hang low from a skeleton See the blurry apparition of a nervous child Burning holy red in Devil’s own nightclub Juggling images of separated lovers Turning us into self-shattering messiahs   Here glides the swan The long nights of our summer My love, so long Your light lives inside me

Your pussy in the sea It’s floating through green waters and recycled memories Your pussy never sleeps It’s hungry for some action through unlimited tantrism   And all the sailors see its crazy glow – oh, no! They drop the cables, wrecking Neptune’s home – oh-oh! And it’s so hard to stay afloat But then your lips send me a kiss and I say: OOOOOOOOOH   Good duck, my dick got stuck How can I escape this clusterfuck? No swag, two steps back Gimme my Bulgarian training bag Can you hear me yell in the submarine? Can you hear me yell in the submarine? Baby, it’s my only fantasy – to see your pussy in the sea, hey! No booze, damn cabooze Someone’s gonna blame the octopus! No swag, two steps back Gimme my Bulgarian training back Poking in the yellow submarine Poking in the yellow submarine Your pussy through a prism The glistening of its wisdom compensates for wasted dreams Your pussy needs my jism Let underwater wizards fill your mystery to the brim  And all the sailors sing a merry song – hey, ho! They drop the anchor and medusas crawl back home And it’s so hard to stay afloat Open your lips like an abyss and take me home

Now I’m really bleeding out Through my forehead portal Just a broken automat Gave up too early   Undying recess Vasectomy of spirit Now kill the meanies And bomb my district   Now I’m really reaching out To my golden childhood Robots fighting in the grass Lasers blasting proudly   Bleeding like a broken girl Screaming through a clenched fist Already old Tell me what I’ve missed   Final words from the book, illegible Dark mysterious words I will try not to look, transfixed by the past and the twitter of ghosts Final words from the book, predictable Insupportable hopes Get the worm off the hook, just let me go Smash my soul into earth The bus is coming I’ve never been so high The sun is rising Just let me close my eyes

about

Goon Gun finally finished their long-gestating second album «Breakup Baroque».

This is clearly a more mature, melodic and versatile record than the debut «Gone Dawn» (2009), complete with intricate arrangements and unorthodox stylistic choices.

Songs range from propulsive electroclash («Cops Who Fuck Nameless Girls») and bastardized yacht-funk («Agent Awkward») to sweeping, cinematic ballads («Alien Eve», «Regina M») and ambient epics («Sin Screen Showing Nothing», «Smashed by Icarus»).

As always with Goon Gun, power pop hooks and catchy synth riffs masquerade general anarchic attitude and darkly surreal lyrics.

“I had to feel my way out of the tree. Outside, I was under a glitter of stars”
Rachel Kushner, “The Mars Room”, 2018

“A man and a woman walk into a church in the desert. One of them walks out with a brand-new soul and the other gets left in the dust.”
Laura Van den Berg, “The Third Hotel”, 2018

“Er hört ein Knacken und ein Knistern, da der Kopf in Höhe der Ohren unter Wasser treibt; es ist das Meistergeräusch dieses Planeten, dazwischen vernimmt er, wie von fern, ein versunkenes Oszillieren, es ist das scheue, modulierte Fiepen der Meeressäugetiere, die sich über unendlich weite Strecken hinweg im Ozean zusingen.”
Christian Kracht, “Die Toten”, 2018
