Artist picture
Melodramatic electroclash with a few Keith Emerson solos thrown in
VOSTOK LAKE is an exponent of "portable techno-folk for the 21st century" hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. VOSTOK LAKE is a culturally revolutionary organisation aiming to supersede and replace guitar-based rock music altogether. VOSTOK LAKE's musical style is a careful balance of 80's-style beats, prog-rock inspired keyboard pyrotechnics and carefully crafted lyrical hand-grenades. Some songs deal with contemporary politics. Others tell stories of angst, comedy and high weirdness. Kelkaj estas en la internacia lingvo Esperanto.

Story behind the song
My humble curse is: "May your shit come to live, and kiss you." (Frank Zappa, 1988)
Lyrics
Queen of the Angels Queen of the May Queen of the Harpies Take them away. Don’t want to be here Working for pay Future utopia Take them away. Boils and diseases Rain on the boss Fire in the boardrooms Who’ll give a toss? Idiot managers Will rue the day Boiling their eyeballs Take them away. Bogus religions Rip out the cash Fake politicians Pack glass in the gash Fascists and fundies Every which way Death and damnation Take them away. Pure exploitation Rules in our lives Generals and presidents Sharpen their knives I’m not a puppet To dance in their play I’ve had enough of it Take them away. Liars and mindfixers Poison the well Flunkies and junkies Hiding the smell Of murders, atrocities Social decay It’s quite enough for me Take them away. I’m not a psychopath I’m not insane I only speak for The subconscious brain I bet you’ve all thought in Exactly this way Say it along with me: “Take them away.” One day you’ll see me Queen on a throne Hands on the button Feet on the bone Armies and legions All hear me say: “Give us utopia Take them away.”
