“Brothers and sisters, what are your true desires? Sitting in the cafe, looking away, blank, bored, drinking a tasteless coffee or maybe blowing up the cafe or setting it on fire?’ This is what the eighth statement of the situationist group Angry Brigade said. After that it seems that the group asked themselves the same question. You will find the answer in his first long work.
Starting from the title, the group’s presentation work has duality as its main characteristic. Thus, throughout the nine songs we will find ruins and beauty, apathy and rage, darkness and light. Teammates are comfortable in this game, flexibly wielding a double-edged sword. The balance between post- and synth-punk is also worth noting, offering moments of dance and negation, to face the feeling of deadness of today’s life, depressive hedonia, with any edge of the knife. Sometimes with flowers and sometimes with knives.
The songs of this work provide the right soundtrack for the routes we take through our cities. There is no place for play and enjoyment in our streets. We no longer know our land. Everything is foreign to us, violent. As if they were the cartographers of this urban view, they have studied the map in detail and mark the rhythm of our steps aided by bruxism in songs. There is room for hope, however, in the previously mentioned bright and danceable moments. The hope of building something new by taking the waste in hand.
The people of Nakar don’t want any more tasteless coffee. They don’t want to spend their lives working or consuming. They want to see flowers grow among the rubbish and rusty knives. And you, will you continue to sit in the cafe with a bored face?
