about
The day starts with a pleasant slow dance in 6/8 metre. Some pills for a healthy breakfast, a nice dose of narcissism and a few self-optimisation hacks. The mantra goes: “A healthy meal consists of pills, our value is defined by our labour. Narcissism, a way of life. Optimise yourself away.“ In this cynical grotesque, Asbest give up during breakfast and swallow a metaphorical cyanide pill.
lyrics
Who is that robot
In my mirror
When did I become
The bills I pay
Subjugation
for a monthly wage
we were turned into machines
Rendered all-dependant
A healthy meal
Consists of pills
Our value is defined
By our labour
Narcissism
A way of life
Optimize
Your self away
We don’t lead the lives we need
We lead the lives we must
Forced to be productive
Until we turn to dust
We deviate from our true selves
Pathologically infectious
It seems there’s no escape
But Cyanide for breakfast
Cyanide for breakfast
We should have pulled the brakes In time
Cyanide for breakfast
We sawed off the branch we’ve climbed
Cyanide for breakfast
Didn’t we have all we’d ever need?
Cyanide for breakfast
Expectations to defeat
Cyanide for breakfast
To an evil machine we’re cuffed
Cyanide for breakfast
We should stop eating when we’re stuffed
Cyanide for breakfast
Cyanide for breakfast
Cyanide for breakfast
Cyanide for breakfast
Cyanide for breakfast
Cyanide for breakfast

On their third LP, Gaadge (from Pittsburgh) make a big racket with hooky, messy guitar rock sweetened with loads of noisy pop moments. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 13, 2023
As the name implies, there’s something wonderfully spooky about this Philly band—shoegaze with a haunting undercurrent. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 27, 2023
