1998년 결성된 스웨덴 출신의 4인조 밴드 Logh는 Modern Rock에서 Neo Psychedelia, Post Rock 장르를 아우르는 광범위한 음악성을 바탕으로 한층 진화한 Indie Rock 사운드의 이상향을 제시하고 있는 주목할 만한 그룹이다. 본 작은 2003년 공개된 그들의 정규 2집 앨범으로, Sunny Day Real Estate에서 Mogwai까지 연상케 하는 다양한 사운드 스케이프를 통해 감성에서 파격으로의 진화를 한 장에 응축한 작품이다. 짙은 서정성을 지닌 "End Cycle"과 "An Alliance of Hearts"이 가장 먼저 귀를 잡아끌지만, Modern Rock과 Post Punk가 교차하는 "The Raging Sun"과 "The Bones of Generations", 서사적이며 변칙적인 전개가 돋보이는 대곡 "City, I'm Sorry"등의 다분히 실험적인 곡들이 진정 주목해야할 트랙들이다.
All this time awaiting night At its end awaits a trial The reflections of a knife cut through the dark and an alliance of hearts
With the setting sun The tides rise With the setting sun To end a life With the setting sun
As the waves pull back the treasures are revealed I heard I would fear but I'm not scared of an inevitable end
With the setting sun The tides rise With the setting sun The hearts divide As the waters rise You fight for life With the setting sun As the world dies
These are hands made to dig holes One for every waiting soul These are eyes made to deceive To serve the lie we're made to believe
This is what I got for staring the sun In the eye
I will surely be condemned For this sin I will go to hell For the warning that I never got For my dreams of a raging sun
This is what I got for staring the sun In the eye
Why is the sun so bright? Why is the sun so bright? Why is the sun so bright? Why is the sun so bright?
Here it comes Full war A fucking chronic alarm I'd dig My own hole Repay the Devil with my soul To just For one day Be taken away from the flames Until It starts All Over Again
I got a suit I got a black suit You got horns but I got a black suit
I got a band I got a black band You got thorns and I got a black band
You got a shield You got a black shield I got a point but you got a black shield
I got a wish I got a death wish You got a badge but I got a death wish
The truth I know can not be bent, oh no It has been raised as a monument to the dead The truth they say is stated in the Book of Revelations The truth I know is mounted on the bones of generations
I got a mark I got a black mark You got a book At least you've got a book
The fire is dying The night will be cold Not a light in sight I've got to go
Can you tell these eyes are awaiting the end? That nothing's waiting around the bend? While we stay here sitting still all the hypocrisy's leading us in
Light rain upon the fire You've got a ride Free beer all night and I got to drive
Beat and battered, gray and old The many years are taking their toll Vote for Democracy, yeah Vote for a word Vote for a word The girl you knew had her own car, her own scars, her own cross The farther out you reached into the night the less she remembered, the less you tried
The winds are waiting quiet for the storm to make the call While the collectors of skulls prepare for war And the lights from sovereign states flicker in the dark
The darkness has erased the features of the lands The lights from sovereign states are all but dead
