fathers dragged through the streets
deconstruct our histories
I’ll keep the pieces worth remembering
and toss the remnant confetti
on Father’s Day
on Father’s Day
it’s a patricidal cavalcade
on Father’s Day
it’s time to celebrate
on Father’s Day
barricades with scrawled surnames
mothers sit by their windows and wave
children fish the bits from the grates
silver flakes and black water traits
on Father’s Day
on Father’s Day
it’s a patricidal cavalcade
on Father’s Day
it’s time to celebrate
on Father’s Day
the parade dwindles to the first born
the seconds, the thirds, the fourths
lugging these loads along the course
laid out for the brood of the bloodline forged
on Father’s Day
on Father’s Day
it’s a patricidal cavalcade
on Father’s Day
it’s time now don’t be late
on Father’s Day
how long must we carry you
before we can bury you?
The new EP from NYC’s best live rock band is a scorcher, full of bleak, driving guitars and topped with dark, prophetic vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2021
London's Modern Woman meld proggy folk-rock and wiry post-punk into an adventurous and elastic sound all their own on this new EP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2021
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. modestwriggles
