Someone left the lights out on the ground
And the people that were there were never found
10:15 flight to Madrapour
Soaring off into the night forever more
And the dreams they were dreaming
Have all flickered and died
Before they close that curtain
I want to see the light
In a dream the truth is overheard
That our destination’s only just a word
He who so desires is free to go
But the gesture would be futile even so
All your well-formed opinions
Are just holes in the night
Before they pull that trigger
I want to see the light
Someone bring my medicine, I’m ill
The machine is ready, waiting for the kill
Powers below have analysed my fate
Memo Update Final Subject Terminate
But I feel only nothing
I with silence abide
Before the push that button
I want to see the light

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
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
The luminous minimal synth duo's latest, due in February, is their most carefully constructed and emotionally resonant yet. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 31, 2018
