You would think this goth rock banger came out in like 1982, right? You'd think it was some lost track from some forgotten darkwave band, like so many Lost Media Songs? You'd be dead wrong. This song was released on September 1st in this year of the American calendar, 2023. Thank you for this little gem, Lathe of Heaven.

Lathe Of Heaven: Ekpyrosis
New signing alert to Sacred Bones Records, New York new wave punks Lathe of Heaven on releasing their incredible debut album Bound by Naked Skies, out September 1st and available to pre-order now! Get the record on various formats including the Sacred Bones mail-order exclusive white and black blend vinyl that comes with an obi-strip and a fold out poster.
With little more under their belt than a relentless string of live performances, and a twice pressed (subsequently sold out) self-titled demo, NYC based band Lathe of Heaven have proved themselves to be a potent and cohesive element amidst the torrent of hardcore punk and synth-driven pop revival currently proliferating throughout the U.S. underground.  Now nearly two years later, LoH are finally prepared to unleash their debut full-length Bound by Naked Skies. With careful consideration, this eleven track LP blends elements of British New-Wave and Finnish Post-Punk into a nuanced juxtaposition of 80’s sonic mania. Incorporating themes of classic and contemporary Science-Fiction, Bound by Naked Skies indebts itself as much to its literary influences as it does to the music that informs its unique and deliberate sound. Paying powerful homage to the uncanny worlds of authors Arthur C. Clarke, Octavia Butler, Ken Liu and of course Ursula Le Guin (whose novel the band is named after), themes of cosmology (“Ekpyrosis”), simulation (“Heralds of the Circuit-Born”), mental illness (“Moon-Driven Sea”), and ontology (“Entropy”, “The Spider” etc.), weave implicitly throughout the arch of the record, providing a sense of insight into the minds of those plagued by the ambiguous nature of humankind’s terrifying and not-so-distant future.

Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

Why do a solid 7% of wordle players use "adieu" as their opening word. It's coward behavior. It has no personality. It's unoriginal. It's not even a strong opening word. It will rarely if ever tell you where the vowels go, which means it's useless considering you already know there will be a vowel or two involved, and there are only five to choose from. I don't even think it should count as a word for this purpose because it's not even really a loan word. It's fucking French.

Though Ursula K. Le Guin's novel "The Lathe of Heaven" is regarded as a classic of science fiction, her sequels "The Band Saw of Purgatory" and "The Benchtop Drill Press of Hell" are less well known.
