Подробнее о видео

Fresh off the heels of the highly acclaimed debut release, PULSATIONS returns with the brand new single titled, “Of Vultures And Sickles”. The upcoming new single is a combination of lush & dreamy post-punk melodies, reverbed crooning vocals, captivating bass lines and intense drum machine beats that invoke names like She Past Away, Twin Tribes or even The Smiths. The lyrical content of Pulsations’ songs is often political and full of symbolism, with ‘Of Vultures And Sickles’, Esteves depicts the fight of the conscious urban working class against gentrification and speculative funds.

PULSATIONS is a post-punk/darkwave act spearheaded{ost by Copenhagen-based musician and producer Hadrian Esteves. The band’s homonymous debut double A-side single, consisting of the tracks “Bedwarfing Virtues” & “Among Daughters Of The Wet Stones”, was released by Crunch Pod in August 2020.

Lyrics:
No trace of truth
In the headlines
The vultures gather
To set their price

Carrying a thousand flags around
Dragging unlawful deeds on the ground
They’ve flooded our place on earth
Don’t waste your tears under the rain

They’re falling
Sickles reach the edge of town
Hear them howling
But the queen will not kneel down
They’re falling
And the risk premium goes up
It’s appalling
They aren’t even made of steel

Release me now from your arms
Another victim of these new times
A teen novice sets fire to the choir of thrones
And doesn’t look up

Carrying a thousand flags around
Paint the wall then tear it down
They’ve flooded our place on earth
It’s time to run under the rain

They’re falling
Sickles reach the edge of town
Hear them howling
But the queen will not kneel down
They’re falling
And the risk premium goes up
it’s appalling
They haven’t even made us tea
We’re made of steel

They’re falling
Sickles reach the edge of town
Hear them howling
But the queen will not kneel down
They’re falling
And the risk premium goes up
It’s appalling
They aren’t even made of steel
They’re falling
Sickles reach the edge of town
Hear them howling
But the queen will not kneel down
They’re falling
And the risk premium goes up
It’s appalling
They haven’t even made us tea
