about

Primarily the work of multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Theo Mak, ‘I Can Pay For It: A Collection of Songs for the Current Political & Socio-economic Crisis’ is the new EP from E-Mute.


Having evolved over the years as a fluid collective of creative and experienced musicians, Theo is the driving force behind E-Mute. For this release he has enlisted the help of three of those musicians to bring life to his politically minded brand of alternative rock.

The first E-Mute release to be fully recorded with live instruments, this EP has a real, live, gritty feel to its distortion laden guitars and thundering drums. This organic approach is very suitable for the subject matter, which takes a lyrical microscope to grimy current issues in the political and economic arenas.

Intense, ironic and by turns darkly funny or genuinely though provoking, the EP was recorded over the course of one, very productive day in the studio.
Mixed by engineer is Andrea Adriano (Adele, Katy B), and mastered by Sigurdor Gudmundsson at Skonnrokk Studios.

lyrics

Life is just a miracle
No matter what we're thinking, so?
Oh no
What are we living no
Unfortunate circumstance
Its driving us to nowhere land
Open your eyes to see again
What you've become, my God
In what a state you are
Living in times of violence
Of fear and absolution
Its time to stand up for yourself
Its time to face your lonely self

And I, looking straight up to the sky
Facing fears I can't deny;
All I want to see is a clue
cause I don't remember you

Life is just a vehicle
No matter what we're thinking so?
Oh no
What we were thinking no
A common known avoidance
Its turning Earth to wasteland
Heaven and Hell is everywhere
That makes life such an odd
in what a state we are
Sharing the same experience,
While looking for solution
Its time to look deep in ourselves
Its time to investigate ourselves

And I, looking straight up to the sky,
Facing fears I can't deny,
All I want to see is a clue cause I don't remember
I, looking straight up to the sky, facing fears I can't deny,
All I want to see is a clue cause I don't remember you.

And I, looking straight up to the sky, facing fears YOU can't deny,
All I want to see is a clue cause I don't remember you.
