“Optimism," said Cacambo, "What is that?" "Alas!" replied Candide, "It is the obstinacy of maintaining that everything is best when it is worst.”
- Candide, ou l'Optimisme
Voltaire
lyrics
His frozen corpse was found in the morning out in the snow
Frozen with the grandest smile on his face ten miles past the last fence of the retirement home
He left a message carved in a tree, and his kids asked what did it say
And every resident of shadypines begged to hear from the one who getaway
and it said
for candide
for candide!
I told you all
I getaway
for candide
for candide
They'll never forget
my name
for candide
for candide
This collaboration between guitarist Lucas Brode and drummer G. Calvin Weston is a freewheeling hybrid of experimentalism, jazz, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2023
Super cool ESG-style herky-jerky post-punk with lots of groove, attitude, and glitched out electronics plus wiry guitars. Truly wild stuff! Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 27, 2023
