lyrics
Heavy suitcases
You'll never see them again
Action packed, filled just with slag
Unearthed, refined, and then left behind
Where’ve I been?
Around the heel
Violent storms
Billowing breeze
Filth, marauders, chancers all
Hardly worth the air they need
Don’t look close at ravaged guilt
The cause of nickel allergies
Won’t you have another drink?
I’m gonna feel the need again
Just salt the rim, two fingers in
A single twist, and all standing
They say “you’ll never get away with this”
As if the private lies and the managed time
On the Lady Di were something we would hide
As we rifle through pockets for the stars of the night
Where’ve I been?
The all night in
Deadeye calm
In joyful sin
Where’ve I been?
Oh, round the heel
Silent drops
The reckoning
Charge your glass to wash away
And later recapitulate
Rigged and bound, the Master calls
For over-knee admonishment
Stateless baseless unadorned
Unlikely to be seen again

Mixed & Mastered: A Dull Set
No other band carries the post-punk synth-pop sound of the 80s into our current time better than TRAITRS. I'd like to quote the admirable Emma Ruth Rundle when she talks about her favourite records on Youtube: "There's not a bad song on this album." Sweet Suburbia
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
Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
