Track No. 01, “Give Me the World,” off The Sweetest Condition’s “Truth & Light” EP, expresses the frustration of small-town life, of being a corporate slave, and of settling in a loveless, one-sided relationship. It’s time to slip off the high heels and throw on some Dr. Martens. Life’s too short to settle. Drop the act. Be who YOU want be, not who THEY want you to be.
PRESS REVIEW:
“The track 'Give Me the World' is a great introduction to The Sweetest Condition's style. It’s a privilege to get to share those moments and beautiful tunes with the readership.” —Dan Domsic, Managing Editor, “Relishing These 'Wow' Moments,” Current in Fishers, May 30, 2013, currentinfishers.com/relishing-those-wowmoments
There comes a time when you’re tired of listening,
living someone else’s fate.
There comes a time when you’re tired of moving,
but you want to leave this place!
I’m gonna leave this town!
Don’t take my hand
just ‘cause you can.
My silhouette’s a marionette.
Don’t spin me ’round;
I’ll stand my ground.
I don’t belong
in this love song.
I don’t remember how I found you.
How did I get here, anyway?
You came in when I wasn’t looking,
trying like Hell to save the day!
I’m gonna wear you down!
I’m gonna wear you.
I’m gonna wear you … DOWN!!!
Please don’t say
I’m a lucky girl.
I give you an inch, and
you give me the world.
Give me the world.
My gloves are off;
my boots are on.
I can’t sing
another love song!
Give me the world.
My gloves are off;
my boots are on.
I can’t sing
another love song!
Give me the world.
My gloves are off;
my boots are on.
I can’t sing
another love song!
You come in,
I walk out.
Time to take the
higher route.
Doesn’t matter what you want.
Doesn’t matter what you need.
I can see the sandman dreaming,
freeing me.

I'm surprised for the fifth time how many good electro bands exist in a country such as Sweden. I like the diverse atttitude to the electronic music. Tom Vitek
Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2021
The great Cat Temper does it again! 10 more synthpop bangers with titles like “Growls on Film” and “Electric Pawpurrella.” Instant classic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 11, 2023
A stellar cast of artists put their own shadowy spins on recent Bestial Mouths material—toward the goth club floor or into pure noise. Bandcamp New & Notable May 11, 2021
