RED CARPET

Goddam evil trend
By a wire a drone I suspend
Man-on-man, end or mend
On this red carpet we strand

Scrub brush, dead hole
Noblewomen hustle their dole
Turn tail, get bare
Arm mines, handle with care

It tears up and levels tears up

Loud are the waves in this night, so rejoice
Crashing these rocks, they are spreading their voice
All the arrivistes and bootlickers shake their bad asses
They oscillate and hypnotize: take your own aim
Airlines and crankgears, invoiced and cranes
Ruby are feelings, so irradiate flames
Ride on Holy Joes, piggyback, whiplash, jog trot
Level these tears up

DON’T YOU WANT TO DEVOUR THIS WAR?

and now
get out
isolate
get out
information
fuck you, out!

forget
your bad
supersoul
move on
absolution
fuck you, out! 

and now
a cuss
grainy cross-grain
your nail
and its taste
the superman
flies high

get down
lil' girl
to supervene
you godsend
bright as grace
so crash-land me

a jar 
a beam
a giddy-great-head
you ride 
out the faith
then fuck you, out! 

rebate
this used
and stupid cloak
colleague
free the nation
the superman

strain your car and see
don't you want to devour this war
huh?

and now
get out
concentrate
get out
destination
tease it out

and thrill
and shout
and never stop 
walk on
to the most
perfect quake

strain your car and see
don't you want to devour this war
huh?

What is 
about
superman?

about

THE SOMNAMBULIST’s debut - originally released on May 10, 2010 by Amaury Cambuzat of Faust and Ulan Bator for the nowadays no more active Acid Cobra Records - has been at the time praised by the independent music press for being “an album of great elegance, captivating and subtle” (Indie Rock Mag), “romantic and insidious, vehement and dark, of a preciousness both thoughtful and wild” (SentireAscoltare), “intense and endowed with a large and coherent sound panel” (Muzzart) and “profound and complex” (RockIt).

Performed by Marco Bianciardi, Rafael Bord (Les Hurlements d'Léo) and Marcello S. Busato, it's been recorded by Till Kreische in August 2009 at Antje Øklesund, a former audiovisual laboratory and live venue later razed to the ground by Berlin's gentrification.

Finally available for download and streaming on digital platform, after 12 years Moda Borderline still stands out for its farsightedness and originality, retroactively representing the kickoff for a music project that in the last decade never stopped once to amaze for its uncompromising vision
