We Live (Single)

Out now


Scrabbling in the dark for a sense of independence and relevance in a dystopian reality of technological post-enlightenment, is a wickedly industrial track by Irish dark-core siren Grabyourface. Indulging in the realms of sex and shadow, DJ Marie Lando writes and produces grinding slasher techno which has roots in goth and industrial. Broken lyrical distortions of voiced poetry with clunking dirty rhythms formulate a passionate and wonderfully creepy sound.


A sullen and grimy throng of metallic crunching forms a rhythmic crush and swell, it's one to dance slowly to, skulking like a sinister darkling waiting for the moon to come out from behind a cloud. A sense of angst and an undertone of anger seeps through the network of phrases which cake together to make up the meat of this track. As Grabyourface does what it says on the tin, the vocals shimmer with a passive sense of disgust, robotic yet deliciously human.


Exploring the sense of rejection that goes hand in hand with being one step or more outside of the normal boxes people create, the pangs of a dissolved desire for validation simmer in a wallowing mire of forbidden feelings. Deep to think of and catchy on the ears, along with the darker and heavier Black Death remix that comes with it, We Live is an entertaining and splendidly gothic track of the modern day.
