Industrial Dreams from Comfort by Nansea
An endless oil refinery complex makes up that industrial landscape, which I found myself unprecedentedly admiring and extremely pleasant to look at. I could perceive something as beautiful that I have discarded as an ugly man-enslaving institution before. Perhaps it’s what lies behind everything we see. There is beauty to this life, but it never comes for free. Industrial Dreams is a soundtrack for this loss of ignorance and simplicity and the moment in which nothing stays easy or simple.

Lyrics
Arrays of silver housing with endless miles of pipes
And vapor yearning to reach the air where you can expect it
White-and-red-striped towers that resemble a lighthouse
Yet no ship will reach this haven,
A haven that is home to no soul
Yet still heavy trains will wait
In line for the whistle to blow
To depart from their industrial dreams
Where they’d, they’d fall asleep
How much can a man’s hand contribute to lifestyle?
To what’s grown from line-productions and frantic possessions
Heartbreaking this lex vitae that hardly knew sunlight
LEDs with warmth for me in this landscape that is home to no-one
Let’s go for a walk through this Marxist fairytale
And watch the sunset where the smoke replaces clouds
Till the red, till the red, flashing sirens sing

Nansea (ˈnænsi) is the musical moniker of Berlin-based musician Marek Polgesek. With their music, they create a queer indie/chamber pop sound that goes beyond the traditional singer-songwriter style, while paying tribute to gender nonconforming artists that inspire them. Their sound has been described as a ‘more whimsical Rufus Wainwright' and reminiscent of Thom Yorke and Sufjan Stevens.
