Frodus' "The Awesome Machine" has been melting my face off since I got a hold of And We Washed Our Weapons In The Sea (big thanks to Andy Strickland). The live video below does not do it justice. The original recorded version is so raw, intense, and smart. The bass growls like someone's hitting fresh strings with a heavy pick and 2,000 lbs of force. The song has a strong groove and doesn't get lost in the breakdown. This is a one-trick pony by any measure, but it is a hell of a trick.

The Machines Never Died . The Recurring Threat Of Technology Can Be Used To Confine Populations . It's Not A Reason To Reject It All . Just The Minds Who Abuse The Knowledge . Saw It Once In A Dream . Buildings Extend . Mankind The Sea . It'll Happen- Culture Mesh Into One . See It Now As We Open Our Eyes . We Will Traverse The Empty Season Of Now . We Will Be Vindicated

Sounds pretty reasonable, right? It's not an anti-technology song. It's much more nuanced. I appreciate that. You can be passionate, even zealous about your views without subscribing to extreme positions.
