about
Conventional economic “wisdom” is to pursue perpetual economic growth. This is simply not sustainable. The developed nations of the world already consume enough resources and produce enough waste to use up three planets if everyone followed their lead. And we want to keep growing?
Other countries, particularly China, are catching up fast - spurred on by the seemingly successful economic example already shown to them by western countries. Humans currently use 50% more natural resources than they did 30 years ago. If current trends continue, this resource use could double again in the next twenty years.
Technological advances cannot be relied upon to find solutions to the most basic problems of resource overuse. What we need is economic thinking geared more to meeting real needs than to promoting unnecessary consumption just to lubricate the wheels of commerce. But that would mean tackling the vested interests who profit from squandering other people’s futures. Who will be prepared to do that?
lyrics
The luxuries of our forefathers are the “necessities” of today. Have you thought about the consequences if we continue in this way? Where are the resources to come from which everyone will “need” to consume? And where will we put the rubbish when there’s no longer any room? You don’t need to be particularly clever to see this can’t go on forever. We can’t take more than the Earth has to give, unless we ignore the way that others must live. Now I don’t expect people to live in absolute purity, but it’s vital that we dismantle our false sense of security. We can’t put off until tomorrow what we should have done yesterday, and we can’t expect new technologies to always show us the way. You don’t need to be particularly clever to see this can’t go on forever. Don’t try to tell me that you need more proof - just take off your blinkers and see the truth.

The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
