The eagle’s wing was once where The shortstop now would stand On the softball field off Birch street Behind the Veteran's Park pavilion Where families grill their sweet corn To celebrate the 4th They spill their ketchup on the graves And progress holds it’s course In Hokah

We are the long knives We have sung sweet songs Burned witches at the stake We are Laocoon’s constrictor Wrapped around our gilded necks* Every gift we’ve been offered We’ve stolen and abused The treasure we have hoarded Suffocates us from misuse We have burned our sustenance We’ve wasted our inheritance We are beyond redemption We are beneath extinction Woe to us for the day we hear the long knives we go to our graves* We are the long knives *Lyrics borrowed from History of the Sioux War and Massacres Isaac Heard, 1864

We’re right here We’ve been here all along Above and around you We see everything you’ve done And all that you so boldly ignored In the sky we sing Though the air is too much to swallow And for you Our path is too high to follow You sink below our wings And regret so much You can’t even imagine What your grandchildren will One day eat Yet still you plow your fields And reap your sweet rewards With the ignorance of a hundred thousand years off your shoulders One day we’ll pick at your bones

about

Inspired by the history and geography of Southeastern Minnesota's Driftless Region, Talus is an exploration of the ecological and cultural genocide that hides beneath our feet. Created in a time of uncertainty and peril, these seven songs serve as a grim warning against the path that the worship of profit and progress has led us.

Plowed Effigy uses field recordings, free jazz, noise and psychedelic elements to expand the form and structure of "Hardcore Punk" without sacrificing any of its chaotic energy and raw power.

Review of Talus from Reviler.org: www.reviler.org/2020/08/07/introducing-plowed-effigys-experimental-doom-punk/
