about

Scottish Avant-garde RABM founded in 2013, musically exploring the contradictions of the late-stage capitalist world.

Béton Brut is about being a queer youth, unable to perceive of a world beyond cis-heteronormativity, beyond patriarchal systems of power, a world of liberation... but that world is there, not far away. And you’ll get there, too.

lyrics

Spectral lines all ranked up
on the cosmic bathroom countertop.
Bloodshot eyes in a cracked mirror
in the silence of a throbbing city club
and the void.
When I couldn’t see the stars,
I stopped dreaming of space.
Always keep the beaten path.
Always keep a Straight face.

That year galvanised me
but zinc’s a drab-as limbo as any.
Trading one grey for another.
The music of the spheres spun
in colours I had never dreamed of.
I would be lustrous, I‘d be rusting in lust.
I would be wretched. I would be loved.

Leaving home. Muscles knot my aching shoulder bones.
Wash out my veins with the acetone.
I wasn’t born in fear. There’s no self-loathing
in my genes. But from when I could hear,
I heard the hereditary; the poison of misogyny.
An amateur wavering, thrust traversing
the tripwire of masculinity.
Dance, hummingbird! Can you dance?
I’d learned the steps before I could walk;
I had learned silence before I could talk.

Where are you, Orion?
Into what abyss goes your hunt?
To black depths I condemn ye,
and raise up to heaven
new stars.

Stare into that void all you like.
It won’t meet your gaze;
When you can’t see the stars
you stop dreaming of space.
