lyrics
“A Kind Cruelty”
(lyrics by: C. Mackey Music by M. Ciravolo / M. Rozon)
There is a space between
where many of you have been
A place from which you came
one you wish to return again
Put a little electricity in your blood
and we’ll beat the world
The brutality of beauty
is something to behold
It happens every time
it should be a crime
A capitol offense
that leaves us defenseless
and i've been hypnotized by your seductiveness
We been victimized by your destructiveness
It's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty
masculine in deception
it's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty
Ask the clouds to remember
it’s raining words long forgotten
I couldn’t find your benediction
on the TV screen
Invisible Reflection
Perhaps it's all just an illusion
A Divine entity
staring back at me
Immaculate misconception
Masculine in deception
reaches inevitable singularity
Animal teeth and summer sky
There will never be another
don’t let it die
subterranean exoskeleton
paranormal strange medicine
It's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty
It's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty
A wild knife cuts the light
Filthy fires among the painted flames
Small fires lick the floor
You are the world set on fire
Devastate to complicate
We contemplate
about our fate
put some electricity
in your blood
and we’ll beat the world
it's a kind cruelty
delicate and damaging
Brutality of Beauty ...

I’m in the midst of this right now ;a feast of sound and lyrics and sound images that are hitting me like a sonic wave of possession I want to stay with indefinitely.My energy went up and this woke up the afternoon.There is nothing else like Curse Mackey. asheville99
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021

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
