we're picking at the stitches the things that keep us tied we're pulling at the edges of everything it's nothing you would notice you'd miss it at a glance how can we pretend it's working? it's not working we are ghosts living together falling through this life waiting for the sun we are ghosts just existing our hearts beat cold we're just waiting for the sun we're suffocating slowly we've got no space to breathe no distance in between us we are ghosts living together falling through this life waiting for the sun we are ghosts just existing our hearts beat cold we're just waiting for the sun just waiting for the sun waiting for the sun waiting for the sun we're just waiting for the sun we are ghosts living together falling through this life waiting for the sun we are ghosts just existing our hearts beat cold we're just waiting for the sun Letting go trying to move on i stand alone waiting for the sun letting go trying to move on i stand alone just waiting for the sun

don't let go don't break this silence for a moment we can wait here just stay here and in that moment before you speak i still have everything and then everything falls apart everything and then everything falls apart everything each word is a razor as the world is cut away am i holding on too tight i feel myself falling staring at the sky i just lost everything and then everything falls apart everything and then everything falls apart everything and the world seems bigger when i'm on my knees the light seems darker when i can't see when i can't see when the world seems bigger when all faith is gone am i a life that's worth saving when the world seems too big don't be afraid just pick up the pieces and fight fight fight when the world seems bigger when all faith is gone but i'm a life that's worth saving when the world seems too big don't be afraid just pick up the pieces and fight fight fight when the night is darker and all light is gone just remember this on the blackest night with the deepest scars without the darkness you'll never see the stars on the blackest night with the deepest scars without the darkness you'll never see the stars

about

After what feels like almost an eternity in the making, Cyferdyne’s third and ostensibly final album has arrived – and what began over a decade ago with “Genesys” reaches its nominally biblical conclusion in “Exodus”. And biblical it is indeed in scope – 10 epic tracks, only one a few seconds under 5 minutes in length, as the band bow out with well over an hour of superlative songwriting.

While “featuring the singles Static and Breathe Deeper” might seem to be true, in fact both previously released versions were “Single Edits” of the far more elaborate and lengthier original arrangements found here on “Exodus” – put out as album teasers to whet one’s appetite while the other 8 songs were still being completed.

If this does indeed turn out to be their final foray into a recording studio, there is truly something here for everyone who has ever liked any iteration of Cyferdyne from start to finish. Those early exchanges of sung and shouted vocals that typified the first album are recalled here in the outro of “Let Me Burn”, while fans of the club-friendly feel of “Static” and “Breathe Deeper” will surely find similar satisfaction in songs like “Everything” or “Nothing Lasts Forever”.
Cyferdyne have also always exhibited a more nuanced atmospheric side – more than ably represented here by “Take Me With You”, “Never Let You Go” and the album closer “Are We Nothing”.

As might be expected with any act now long-established, “Exodus” demonstrates a further step forward in maturity – the production, admirably executed by Andy McBain and given a final polish by mastering engineer Jesse Skeens is as slick if not slicker than for the previous “Keep Your Silence”, Andy Higginson’s guitars are more present, and Steven Houghton’s lyric writing and vocal performance more plaintive and impassioned than ever before.

With song titles and lyrics filled with longing and loss, as a sum of its parts “Exodus” seems tinged with regret and an understanding of finality – exactly as any album intended as a farewell should…
No niche market material this – the majority of these tracks would grace most mainstream broadcast media, with their perfect pop sensibilities.
If this will really be as declared Cyferdyne’s swansong, we will surely all miss them when they’re gone…

"Exodus" releases May 10th 2024, and is available to pre-order NOW!
