Artist picture
Eclectic, intelligent rock-driven tunes with big guitars and more than a hint of electronica give us a sound unlike any other band.
The Strang Quartet formed (officially) in Cambridge UK in 2003, consisting of long-time friends Martin (guitars and vocals) and Julian (drums, keyboards, guitars and production). Our mission statement: to make deep, meaningful, noisy sounds for the delectation of ourselves and others.

Story behind the song
A tirade against postmodern "thinking"
Lyrics
There's a universe 1mm to the left of this one Where people smile and all the while Only good things happen Are you kidding me? Everyone's equal and nobody's sinning Loving thy neighbour and everyone's winning Face pressed up against the window Fascinated by the freak show Get a grip, get a grip Dig your fingernails deep into the flesh of reality Or your sanity will be the next fatality These possible worlds will derail causality So hold on tight to this one There's a universe 1mm to the east of that one Where nothing's true, so just screw you And your western rational notions Are you kidding me? Yeah nothing's right, and nothing's wrong It's just a case of where you come from Face pressed up against the window Fascination with the freak show Get a grip, get a grip Dig your fingernails deep into the flesh of reality Or your sanity will be the next fatality These possible worlds will derail causality So hold on tight to this one There's a universe 1mm to the right of this one Where people smile but all the while They're hiding their scorn Are you kidding me? Accepting their place in the natural order Stuck outside the kingdom's border Faces pressed up against my window Get a grip, get a grip You say nothing's real so get a grip on the knife Pierce your heart it can't end your life You say life is suffering pain is an illusion So the stream of blood is just a delusion But I can see you're hesitating Not so sure now Not so sure now Even if we're cogs in an alien machine The mirage is complete The mechanics unseen Life is real and death is no dream So scream and scream and scream and scream Dig your fingernails deep into the flesh of reality Or your sanity will be the next fatality These possible worlds will derail causality So hold on tight to this one
