The penultimate song from 'Songs from the Suburbs Vol 4.'
Denouement mixes indie
pop with touches of dream and jangle. It starts plaintively, but builds in the second
half of the track into a kaleidoscope of sounds, whilst revisiting themes from previous
'Suburb' albums.
Enjoy the experience
The Voyage of Laissez Faire
We are living in uncertain times...
The Voyage of Laissez Faire uses the depiction of a doomed journey at sea as a metaphor
for our modern consumerist society and where this consumerism could lead to.
With the doomsday clock ticking down threats of Global warming are looming over us
larger than ever.
Building on similar works such as 'The Clock Strikes Midnight' and 'Doomsday Sonata',
'The Voyage of Laissez' Faire completes the trilogy of terror, sending a stark warning
to the world that the direction we are currently heading in could lead to our undoing.
