“Over the years... We’ve lost so many great friends, musicians, and artists to the grip of heroin and opioids.
I wrote this song as a sort of release of tension, for how I feel about the people I’ve lost to drug addiction. There’s a sort of juxtaposition to it all. Like a mixture of sad beauty, or a car crash you know is coming but you crank the music and live the ride.”
-Juan Carlos Caceres
lyrics
Sparks electrify the water
Currents pulsing through your brain
When you magnify hallucinations
They will multiply
Watts in your eyes
Dark electric come alive
Watts in your eyes
Dark electric come alive
Red reflections in the mirror
Beauty racing to the vein
Watch the world burn on the head of a spoon
Time to take a ride
Watts in your eyes
Dark electric come alive
Watts in your eyes
Dark electric come alive
Awake
Awaken
Dark electric come alive
You wanted to fly
You wanted to die
You wanted to fly
You wanted to die
You wanted to fly
You wanted to die

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism.
A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music! Brett
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
Take a trip into cosmic space, follow the sensational sound of which is Seeds and feel the power of the Domkraft riffage. Did not think that this band could get any better but they have shot straight through the stratosphere with this superb album. Darknight
