Lyrics:
We're suffering these losses
And decorating coffins
Well you can see my heart is swollen
And you swear my thoughts are stolen
Well just, call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call me.
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call me.
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call
I got problems that sound worse that phonographs
Infidelity and the fidelity of laughs
So I turned to the needle to set the record straight
And scratched with velvet dragons to escape
And now we're suffering these losses
And decorating coffins
Well you can see my heart is swollen
And you swear my thoughts are stolen
Well just, call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call me.
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call me.
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call
This love was so electric
It seemed to travel through the air
Arcing like her blue eyes
Lightening like her hair
Arcing like her blue eyes
Lightening like her hair
But I let the demons of my heart escape
And they slaughtered all the animals we saved
And now we're suffering these losses
And decorating coffins
Well you can see my heart is swollen
And you swear my thoughts are stolen
Well just, call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call me.
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call me.
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, call me
Call me Edison, just call
If you ever find your phone...

"Dancey love songs and sometimes some opinions on stuff..."
Sarmust attempts to create a new sound
that is rooted in separation but ultimately about activism. The lyrics of the songs toy with Sufi notions of love, while still pounding the rebellious beat of dissent.
Ottawa duo Paragon Cause craft songs that occupy the space between goth and dream pop, with sublime melodies drifting in guitar haze. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 15, 2021
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
