about

Anthropocene, the first single from Soft Verges, is a musical missive on the impending mass extinction of the human race. A warning of sorts: if only people stopped drinking tiger bones to cure their erectile dysfunction, perhaps we wouldn’t be in this mess eh? Chimey guitars from frequent collaborator Ric Booth, run like rivers through its doom-parched, but catchy(!), landscape. There’s also a moog solo. Gregorian vocal chords close it out, similar, but different from where it started, leaving the holocene behind.

lyrics

They found some tigers everyone thought had died
The locals like to drink their bones
Brings great power
Like the rhino horn
Makes your cock grow

Can’t stop the peatlands
Ablaze with industry
Keep dipping our wicks into the sea
Makes candles
of the highest quality
Helpings of prestige
Gourmet delicacy

Age of Holocene
Packed into the eaves
Glaciers retreat
More than you can eat

Sixth mass extinction
Honours with distinction

summon spirits
lie with ghosts
mourn the missing
then it matters
buried by the black volcano
erupting glass
when it matters
from afar - a diorama
this black stone
good for nothing

Age of Anthropocene
Open to the seasons
Manmade capital
Scrunched into a ball

Sixth mass extinction
Honours with distinction

Tenth Planet Bristol, UK

Musician from Bristol writing songs about the stars, fish, love and longing.
