Efrim, you didn't have to go all out for the Borealis series. But by heck did you. Easily one of Efrim's best compositions of all time.

lyrics
AN EMPTY ROAD AND A STRAND OF TREES
AND JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME TO SPEND WITH THEE
O MY DEAR MY DEAR
GENOCIDE IS ALWAYS NEAR
EACH DAY IS LIKE A YEAR
AND I DON’T KNOW IF WE’LL SEE THE MORNING
PILLARS OF FIRE AT THE COLD MIST OF DAWN
SEARCHLIGHTS AND MIDNIGHT TRIALS
AT THE RISING MISTS OF DAWN
THEY LEAD US TO WATER JUST TO WATCH US DROWN
O BABY IT HAS TO FALL
PALE HORSE IS HUNGRY AND BELLOWING FIRE
ONWARD AND AWFUL WITH EMPTY BLUE EYES
WHILE SLOWLY WE CRAWL AND SLOWLY WE RISE
WE JUST COULD’VE MADE IT BUT WE RAN OUT OF TIME
O BABY IT HAS TO FALL
AN EMPTY ROAD AND A STRAND OF TREES
AND JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME TO SPEND WITH THEE
O BABY IT HAS TO FALL
ACROSS THE GOLDEN ROAD
THE FOREST EXHALES
LIKE TRUMPETS IN MUD
THE SUN IS INDIFFERENT
AND THE TREES DON'T GIVE A FUCK
WE'RE HANGING 'NEATH TWILIGHT IN A STATE NEAR TO GRACE
EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
EVERY STAR
HANGING ‘NEATH TWILIGHT IN A STATE NEAR TO GRACE
EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
EVERY STAR IN THE SKY
EVERY STAR
EVERY LIGHT MUST GO OUT
EVERY LIGHT MUST GO OUT
EVERY LIGHT MUST GO OUT
BUT NOT FOREVER
SWING LIKE AXES CHILDREN
SWING LIKE AXES CHILDREN
SWING LIKE LIGHTNING’S FALL
THE LIGHT GOES OUT
AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT
AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT
BUT NOT FOREVER
IT’S GONNA TAKE A LOT OF SWINGING
TO GET OUT OF THIS FUCKING HOLE
BABY, POINT IN ANY DIRECTION
AND THAT’S WHERE WE’LL GO
THE DEVIL LOOSED HIS BURNING SHIPS
ACROSS THOSE GLOWING SHORES
AND THREW ACROSS THE WATER 1,000,000 CONQUISTADORS
WHILE THEIR REGAL GOD SLEPT IN HIS NEST
HID BEHIND GOLDEN CLOUDS
HE MUTTERED TO HIMSELF AND HE DID NOT RAISE A HAND
WHILE HIS EMPIRE GREW UPON BURNING FLOWERS
ABOVE THAT BURNING LAND
WE ARE THEIR BURNING FLOWERS THIS IS OUR BURNING LAND
THE EXECUTIONER
AND THE EXECUTIONER’S FILTHY CHILDREN
THE EXECUTIONER
AND THE EXECUTIONER’S FILTHY CHILDREN
RAISED IN THE LAND OF MILK AND DEAD HONEYBEES
FED ON COLONIAL ENTITLEMENTS AND AR-15’S
A FUNCTIONING DEATHKAMP NEEDS A LOT OF POLICE
A FUNCTIONING DEATHKAMP NEEDS A LOT OF POLICE
WHAT VALUE IS A STATE LIKE THIS?
A FOOL’S WEIGHT PRESSED UPON OUR NECKS
WHAT VALUE IS A STATE LIKE THIS?
THAT WATCHES US DIE AND DOES NOT ASSIST
THAT BANKS ON OUR DEATHS NO MATTER THE PRICE
JUST TO DELAY THEIR OWN SLOW DEMISE
SO WALK ME TO THE EDGE AND BACK AGAIN
TELL ME EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT
THRU ENDLESS DAYS AND THE MERCY OF NIGHT
THRU SIDEWAYS RAIN AND HARD SHARP SNOW
HOLD ME TIGHT AND DON’T LET GO
AND I WILL DRIVE A TRUCK
I WILL DRIVE A TRUCK INTO
AND I WILL DRIVE A TRUCK
I WILL DRIVE A TRUCK INTO
INTO THEIR GLASS ATRIUM
WITH BLOOD ON MY CHEEK AND A SHIT-EATING GRIN
WITH GLASS IN MY HAIR AND THE ENGINE BURNING
I'LL READ OUR DEMANDS AND I'LL TELL 'EM WHO SENT ME
AND I WILL DRIVE A TRUCK
I WILL DRIVE A TRUCK INTO
FREE IS FREE
FREE SHOULD MEAN FREE
FREE SHOULD BE FREE
FREE MEANS FREE
THE BURNING WORD
THE BURNING WORLD
LOVE.

Was into Mogwai from the beginning with the pivotal Ten Rapid and 4 Satin, but the last Mogwai LP I bought was Mr Beast in 2006, so plenty new to me here, and lots of catching up to do! On 2018 Live, the last 4 tracks are where I'm at, I just love all of that feedback and distortion. From my collection of their first decade, the epic 20 minute My Father My King is my all time favourite - I have no idea if their releases after 2006 have yielded anything comparable... only one way to find out!...

It's kind of freeform, ambient pop, I guess, but it really transcends description and is something you have to hear for yourself. Definitely one of the best releases of 2021. g_snedz
