Fraternity of Strangers - Album

by Oui Plastique

/
1.
The Fear 04:05
The Fear It’s saddening Unimaginative Unsettling An insipid illusion Inside it seems As unnerving as you It burns my eyes Like I’m staring into the sun Mesmerising absolute The fear that comes from you Wide awake beyond your dream and it’s Too late to follow me I’m beside myself Cos I die every day A blacked-out shell Unemotional and distant now
2.
Wish Yourself Away Little flashes all across my eyes Going all the way And I can’t believe it’s happening Every now and then it’s all the same Then it’s gone away I don’t care if it’s interacting And I can hardly breathe No sign of my enemies When I fell inside the maze I never meant to recreate On all sides it’s menacing So serious and to me It’s all gone too far Close your eyes and wish yourself away Save yourself and leave the rest behind It’s a mystery And I saw the answer anyway It’s a measure of the man you say But it’s gone away I told you it was insurrection
3.
The Final Delivery Living like the truth don’t ever mean nothing Selling all the products that rot your brain Crucify the world like it don’t mean nothing Never giving up the death crusade Bring it on home cos there ain’t no future Carry on running this pale charade Hell is like a bomb and it don’t stop falling Saddle it up it’s time to ride Sacrifice the world for the sake of your pocket Never mind anything else today Might as well say it the flame’ll stop burning Every minute of every day Suffer in this conscious atrophy The final delivery Evolution is obsolete Failure every single day Lay the blame at every other door The lies belong to me
4.
Lost Soul 04:04
Lost Soul Sinners never repent And angels never capitulate God never bleeds for me I sacrifice my name Don’t come crying to me when you’re locked inside You know what I’m like I never see your side Separating religion from your lost soul You’ve never been all alone Your decision’s cold and I can’t help you You’re always playing your part Such a great believer now No-one takes it away from you and now it’s over I’ll never see behind your face again It’s such a dead illusion You need to stay inside You´re purified You should lock the door Forevermore You need to kill the light Against the parasite Bow down low Then let it go
5.
Impulse 03:47
Impulse Don’t settle in I’m crawling again Allergic to versions of me So reticent To visit the scene Imagine the place I could be So let it sink into the medicine And if I could I’d do it all again And now there is nothing left to play for Cos everything’s erased Don’t wanna resurrect your heart And no-one has an answer The way you want them to Don’t seem to have a place for me Surrendering to all that’s within Assemble the limits of faith A sentiment of fragile intent A tragic emotional sin I bring it all back to the fantasy I waste away with all my bandages
6.
Sanctuary 04:16
Sanctuary Live it every single day But I don’t care, no way See it in the truth you wait for It won’t say It’s okay There’s no time to fall apart You face the fear with me Don’t try and erase the sympathy No sense in leaving out The failure of the free We’re living in the rapture of the end And I’ve waited too long for it So I won’t refrain And I don’t have to take it So listen to me I’m falling down It’s sanctuary Never wanna waste your time It’s so far away Losing all the sense of feeling in my face again
7.
Consequences 06:04
Consequences Now I’m alive I’m dying for you So far it seems I’m suffering When I awake from all these dreams I’m living a lie I cannot speak Can’t find a way to break the chain I’m locked in for you Now and forever I can only see a way to lose this game again But I won’t forget While I remain a cold inference There’s no turning back for me this time The sensory field is weakening I’m so far away I cannot breathe And now it’s time to lose myself again Just believe there’s nothing wrong I’ve sat inside unconscious far too long Never mind this sorcery
8.
Aftermath 03:45
Aftermath Dead or alive Innocence isn’t everything But it breaks your heart a little more each time I leave Never realising that I don’t care if it hurts Settle in, enjoy the ride and make the best of me until it’s over So tired of believing everything And I don’t crush all the dreams in front of me Won’t ever get away from all the cracks inside of me Never listen to the lies you tell The aftermath tomorrow Never again will I sever my sanity And I can’t forget the little voice inside my head When I breathe in silence, will I crumble yet again? Never really feeling like I want to carry on until it’s over
9.
Crossing Over I saw it a million times All dying one at a time No I can’t believe we’re second hand And I can’t pay the price for all the tragedy Now I’m in control of my fate But I can’t close the gate I’ll settle for the soul imagining So we’ll erase the fragile and start it again Locked in the cycle crossing over now So cold, I’ve run out of time And so it’s time to let go And I’ve reached the end of my parade And I can’t figure which way the path will lead Now I’m in control of my fate But I can’t close the gate I’ll settle for the soul imagining So we’ll erase the fragile and start it again Locked in the cycle crossing over now Lad os slette det sårbare og starte igen Lad os fjerne det skrøbelige, det kører i ring
10.
Failure 05:00
Failure Should’ve lived inside the truth That no-one knows Should’ve lasted here forever Should’ve lived a lie no-one can say Where no-one knows my name Should’ve said goodbye to all this tension Should’ve faced the reason one more time Should’ve lost myself in everyone I’m broken down with you The memory fails The lights are fading out again I’m sick of the sight of it I can’t remember me My failure to stay I’ll fight to breathe again I don’t believe in anything I’m forced to say
11.
Silenced 03:20
Silenced Don’t even think to ascertain Living amongst them and their rage And I don’t think anything will help you either way Set it aside, it’s all a charade Love is the truth that’s all you say And I don’t mind ever reaching out so far away And it breaks my heart to take this all away 7.05 and I’m awake Trying to face another day And I can’t see anything beyond this broken state Suddenly I can breathe again Telling the same old lie to me And it seems so liberating but it’s all a cage And it breaks my heart to take this all away Live or die, surrender my own sensory delivery to you I’ll never let it fly (I won’t be silenced again) Why don’t I just fantasise the world around, not a single sound I hear I’ll never set it free (I won’t be silenced again)

about

" **** - An album of comradeship, both between the artists involved and the rapport gained by offering an open palm to something new, something built in blood and expression, for in Oui Plastique we have brothers waiting to thrill us." - Liverpool Sound and Vision

”Expect gloomy reflections about loss, facing your fears, and even the capitalist system, all surrounded by multi-layered electronics, Depeche Mode duskiness and wholehearted vocals.” – Turn Up The Volume

"superbly timed and devilishly charming electronica pop.” – Liverpool Sound and Vision

Oui Plastique are Martin Nyrup and James Thomas, an electronic music duo based in Denmark and Italy respectively. In 2017, they released their first collaborative album, “Convergence” under the names of their own projects, Perpacity and DVL.

Their aim was to create as solid a first album as possible, and one where they were equal partners and in agreement on all the various processes throughout making it. They feel they have achieved
this with “Fraternity of Strangers”.

The album features melodic synths and programmed drums, with a cinematic and atmospheric feel throughout, and the focus on songs that stick in your head. Lyrically, the album deals with the themes of loss (“Failure” and “Silenced”), facing your fears (“Sanctuary” and “The Fear”), and even the capitalist system (“The Final Delivery”)!

“Fraternity of Strangers” is available on CD 28th of January 2022 and as download on all major platforms 25th of February 2022 through ScentAir Records.
