Whitewater 09:15
While we are away Our home, on fire Vast tracts of fuel Aflame For months Thin casts Of ash Burn Like shame Like whitewater Smoke roils, curling On and on Droplets, embers Waves of coals Coat the lungs Prick the eyes Without cease No relent Until all is blackened, drowned Until all is black and drowned
2.
Ceaseless 08:51
Light radiates Time evaporates This hunching sickness carried always Thought dissipates We incarcerate; Poison carried in the purse Recording always: Our bodies, our fantasies Our worries, medical concerns Ceaselessly repeating: Our habits, our families Our dreams, laid bare Out for sale Ceaseless and surveilled
3.
Divide 08:00
A disconnect so clean Safe there in the embrace Of wealth so complete Content, we live like this The white of your eyes and the white of your neck I feel such disgust Mouth breather, bottom feeder, DIVIDE Credit dealer, profit stealer, DIVIDE Of course it comes to this The red of your eyes and the red of your neck I feel such disgust Helpless Our hands stay unextended My sneer My dignity Our... DIVIDE

Production / destruction to a colossal extent. Turbulent growth foreshadows collapse. Our climate is changing, our forests are shrinking. Tenfold the damage, in just fifty years. It's all been intoned before In history the sentiment repeated again and again. Wealth. Progress. Greed. Trumps the future needs of earth, and man. Two rampant centuries unchecked. Now, is there hope for transformation? From the top down they fleece While glowing screens hold all attention.
5.
Yearn 05:55
Blades turn, stomach churns. Money earned, no concern. Filthy hands and blackened skies. Vacant stares through dollar-sign eyes. Millions scream through poisoned lungs. We yearn, they burn.

about

Vinyl available at: cascades-au.bandcamp.com/album/cascades

CASCADES explore elements of crushing post-hardcore and experimental noise, with rich orchestral swells from analog synthesisers and a strong underlying melodic thread.

The band’s music nods to both the mesmerising atmospheres of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Earth and The Cure, and the thundering aggression of Neurosis, Tragedy and Converge.

The results are passages of mournful, otherworldly beauty, which collapse into chasms of oppressive heaviness.
