Little Scream, "Dark Dance"

Here’s some good news about America.

I have seen a great deal of despair of late on the confessional booths of our age about the sorry state in which the country finds itself, and I want to take a moment here as our nation’s resident optimist to make you all feel a little better about the world and your place in it: Everywhere is terrible, not just America. America is no more awful than anywhere else that has people in it, and proclaiming that it is makes you a proponent of the same kind of American exceptionalism that we rightly find repellent when it is done in the boostery I-love-guns-blonde-girls-with-big-tits-and-apple-pie routine that so many people confuse for patriotism. I want you to cheer up for a minute and consider this: It’s not just America that’s fucked, the whole species is fucked. America just does things louder. Human beings are horrible in every way and our end cannot come quickly enough, although it seems only fair that the Earth drags it out to ensure that we experience maximum suffering before our extinction. Now don’t you feel better? We’re all going together. I want you to remind yourself of that over the next week or so, when you’re really going to need it.

Anyway, here’s another track from the new Little Scream. The video is… something else, but if you are the kind of person who instinctively rolls eyes or [makes “jerking off” motion] at things that get a little, uh, artsy, just keep the sound on and go to another tab, the track is terrific. Enjoy.
