A TRUE THING OF BEAUTY
AM I NOT CLEVER? TELL ME
BULLSHITTING PEOPLE TO ABIDE
MY DAY-TO-DAY STASIS FUNCTIONS HIGH
THEY COME TO ME, UNINVITED
UNABLE TO TRUST PEOPLE
HEAPS OF STONES TO SLEEP WITH BLOCKS
OF OVERCHARGED CONCRETE
A TRUSTWORTHY LITTLE BOX OF HEAT
YOU'RE THE PRESCIENT ONE
YOUR PAVEMENT IS WARM
THE BIRTH OF UNFORGIVEN EMOTIONS
IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU LEAST WANT
THE THINGS THAT I MOST TREASURED
HAVE BECOME THE VERY FABRIC
OF THE MOST OVERWHELMING SURGE
THAT SEEMS TO TURN YOU ECSTATIC
ITCHING YOU CAN'T QUIET DOWN
COURSE OF CAUTERIZED BOUNDS
BITS OF WIRE, HARDENED SKIN
MAKESHIFT BLADES, STONE DRY SHEETS
MOUTH ON MOUTH, SEA OF TEETH
SERENE HEARTS, RESTED FISTS
EVERYTHING I TOUCH DIES WITH ME

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
Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016

An extremely successful sound exploration which once again proves to us that the talent of Mike VanPortfleet knows no constraints or limits. To see him again in duet with John Fair is a pleasant surprise! Both of these songs carry the "Lycian" signature that we all love dearly. Mathieu Barbe
