We’re all dancing as the walls come down We’re all dancing every which way around We were dancing through these revolutions Spinning into destitution Limited by institutions now We’re all dancing to distraction Solid gold and easy action I can’t get no satisfaction I love your love action Now we’re dancing as the days decay Dance me to the edge of love That will never disappear Never go away Dancing through the world Dancing through the mirrors Dancing through infinity Like we’re on fire Slogans are enough for our desire Slogans are enough to bring down the world Cos we’re dancing on fire Dancing on fire Dancing into hypocrites Dancing like hypocrites We’re all dancing to distraction Solid gold and easy action I can’t get no satisfaction I love your love action We’re all dancing to distraction Solid gold and easy action I can’t get no satisfaction I love your love action We’re all dancing to distraction Solid gold and easy action I can’t get no satisfaction I love your love action Information Dislocation Information Dislocation Information Dislocation Information Dislocation Dislocation Dislocation

We Built This Machine We added value did our time We waked in line walked in file We moved forever mile on mile We did our service did our time Gave it all up and stayed in line Our work was endless all the time We used our voices shared our memes Shared our anger streamed our dreams There are so many of us x4 We are the system we are the pain We are the product the eversame We are the zeitgeist we are the change We saved the planet it stayed the same Streamed our victory on mobile phones Mass consumption a demonstration We changed nothing, walked in line Freaked our nation we worked in time There are so many of us x4 There are so many of us x4 Politicians and teachers All you nurses and you preachers And the builders and engineers Policemen and marketeers Editors and journalists Professors and psychiatrists All you students and shop workers The pickers and the packers And the stars and celebrities The cleaners and the managers The futurologists, sociologists The CEOs and NGOs The unwaged and the underwaged We all think were freedom fighters But we’re like Ants and worker bees Ants and worker bees Ants and worker bees There are so many of us x10 We Built this machine, we build this machine x 4 There are so many of us x4

about

MOTHLOOP is:
MARTIN JAMES: Music, lyrics, vocals, various electronic noises, piano-ish

TIMO JALKANEN : Production, sounds and noises

“'Contaminated Disco' performs the neat trick of sounding fresh while being undercut with urbanity. Mothloop clearly know what they’re doing.” Electronic Sound

“A potent brew…” Neil Mason, Moonbuilding

“For those that like their electronic music to have a funkier foundation Mothloop are here to deliver.” Blitzed

"What a great album. Mixes of 80s and 90s pop and dance elements make you swing from thinking it sounds like x, to y, to z. A menagerie of musical delights that surprises with every listen.” Better in the Dark

“I can’t get enough of Mothloop!” Rich James, Electronic Café Rendezvous

It's very hard to pick one track from this excellent debut. Listening to this album somehow feels like discovering a long lost treasure. It's nostalgic but still fresh. It is raw and warm. The songwriting is mature and original. Love it. timo jalkanen
