Good sounding album with a really nice mix of styles. I thought "Without You" was particularly catchy and I've been listening to it repeatedly.
Favorite track: Without You.

You’ve taken more than your fair share
It doesn’t seem to bother you
You can’t see what you refuse to
Crushing souls to replace things you’ve lost
Crushing souls to replace things you’ve lost
You don’t know what I’ve been through
It doesn’t seem to bother you
You keep coming move along
Crushing souls to replace things you’ve lost
Crushing souls to replace things you’ve lost
The damage is done
The scars remain you should have to pay
More than them
But the scars remain you should have to pay
More than them
You’re a lost cause
You’re a lost cause
Taken more than what is fair
It doesn’t seem to bother you

Silent Prayer

Try to see past your obsession
If you were faced with your possessions
Please just take a few steps back
And don’t forget to always question
Don’t forget you have to question
Is it real
Is it real
My eyes are tempted by an Angel
Whose silent prayer will feed desire
You call me and I will answer
Forever desire what is denied
I desired what is Denied
Is it Real
It is Real
Do it Now Do It
Now Please Do It
Do it Now Do It
Now Please Do It
My Eyes are Tempted By an Angel

Your words to me leave to much to interpret and so I’m lost
It just feels so good to feel nothing just sometimes (just sometimes)
I can’t be found
Can’t be found
Don’t ask the questions you don’t want the answers
Don’t ask the questions you don’t want the answers to
You say you want the biggest piece
Can you play fair
Just tell me this just stay in this
Before I’m lost
Don’t ask the questions you don’t want the answers
Don’t ask the questions you don’t want the answers to
All these memories I can’t do this now
I’m not ready for this new unknown
And I’m breaking down
Don’t ask the questions you don’t want the answers
Don’t ask the questions just try try try
Try something new
Just try something new
Just try something
Just try something new

It’s no surprise it should happen in the morning
I’m always at my best
Got no time for bitter thoughts to creep and cloud
I’m always at my best
I’m crazy for all the right reasons
So let me be
Please let me be
It took you to make me see
It was worth it
It took you to make me see
Let me be
Crazy enough to run away
Skip Ahead to the Future
It took you to make me see
That it was worth it
It took you to make me see
Let me be
ME
I'm better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you

Fantasize

You see me far from where I’m going to be
Not stuck in where I’ve been
Find a new way to break me
Take me with you
I can pull too
Forever finding new ways
To amaze
Keeps me going
For a debt unpaid
Makes me stay
I’m in a daze
This haze of normality
The writings on the wall
Still don’t wanna fall
I fantasize about leaving you
And I dream of leaving
My first look at time
You can read nothing of my expression
Cuz if you knew my thoughts and plans
How I know you’d change
Just for a little while
Take my leave and wait
For the perfect time
Forever finding new ways
To escape
It keeps me going
Push the pain away
I’m in a daze
I’m in a haze
A haze of normality
The writings on the wall
Still don’t wanna fall

Time For Action

Harder and harder but still forced
Can’t let it get to me but it’s in my head
I’m the master of my thoughts
But I dream of using force
This could be more than I
This could be more than I can handle
Farther and farther your pushing
Can’t let it get to me but it’s too far
My priceless treasure
Now is the time for action
Now is the time for action
I dream of using force
You’ve gone too far
My priceless treasure
I won't rest
Till your behind us
I won't rest
I won't rest

See You Suffer
03:09
|

All these things keep adding up
They give way
To something never earned
So completely undeserved
Come so far
But it’s not enough
This lack of action
It makes me sick
Speaking out did nothing
Speaking up does nothing
Will you get what you deserve?
Will you get what you deserve?
Will you get what you deserve?
Will you get what you deserve?
I would do anything
I would do anything
To see you suffer
To see you suffer
To see you suffer

about
When creativity meets talent, drive, and encouragement from a valued mentor, the results can be spectacularly successful and incredibly fulfilling.
Ottawa-based ethereal alternative/electro-pop duo Paragon Cause are such a case, as their new full-length album, What We Started, is a powerfully bold statement by a band that is brimming with confidence and artistic zeal.
Coming less than a year after the release of their EP Lies Between Us, it sees the dynamic musical duo of Michelle Opthof and Jay Bonaparte reunite with producer/songwriter Sune Rose Wagner, a Danish pop music legend, best known for his band The Raveonettes. Together, over an intensive and intensely collaborative session in the fall of 2019, they composed, arranged and produced an collection of 10 exceptional new songs, that highlight the magical way Paragon Cause have evolved as artists, developing a style and sound that is imbued with emotional darkness, light and plenty of shades of grey.
Wagner had been a long-time idol of both Opthof and Bonaparte, but this time around, they were less star-struck and approached the sessions that would lead to What We Started with a heightened level of confidence and focus in their own abilities, seeing Wagner now as more of a valued senior collaborator.
“The first session, that led to last year’s EP, we didn’t feel as open and free because we were getting to know each other, we were learning how to work and collaborate together. For the new album, we were a lot looser, there was better communication and I think we all felt a lot more comfortable interacting with each other. This time he was a more active creative collaborator, as opposed to being a producer overseeing everything. It was like he became like a third member of the band,” said Bonaparte.
“For me, I found Sune was able to pull the best performances and the best ideas out of us this time around because we were a lot more open and he was also allowing us so much freedom to explore our ideas. He has this amazing way of boosting your confidence, and so I went into the process for this new album feeling so fresh and empowered,” added Opthos, who is the band’s lyricist and usually sets the melodic tone for each song.
While Lies Between Us was an excellent release in its own right, both members of Paragon Cause believe they have stepped up their compositional skills, their desire to be more experimental and their thematic focus to an all-new level with What We Started. The songs are infused with a sense of urgency, an unmistakable heightened level of energy and fire – a delightfully jagged edge that comes from an open and spontaneous songwriting process.
“Most of the songs were written and recorded that same day or the day before, and all of them were based on just one little idea that we ran with. So, this album is very spontaneous, that’s why there is a lot of energy. Songs like “See You Suffer” and “Time for Action” were literally written the night before we recorded them,” Bonaparte explained.
“This album was an amazing exercise in pure creativity which, we think, is what this album represents as a statement of who we are as a band – no second-guessing, following our inspiration, not being afraid to be who we are and say what we needed to say. Even though the album sounds very produced, it all happened very quickly because we wanted to capture that powerful vibe, and not worry too much about doing 100 takes, looking for perfection,” added Opthof
The first single for the album, Lost Cause, is the perfect example of this edgy and more instinctive approach to writing, as it began with Opthof noodling around on a piano, while Wagner and Bonaparte were out of the studio. They returned and encouraged her to keep developing the unique riff into a full composition. She later added parts of lyrics that she had rolling around in her head for some time, brought a powerfully compelling melody into the mix and a potential hit was born.
“It’s a song about the end of a relationship and coming to the conclusion that the other person is a lost cause. Sune loved the song right from the beginning, and once I started working on the lyrics and melody, it just came together super fast after that. I guess I was just in a mood,” Opthof said with a chuckle.
Thematically and sonically, Paragon Cause’s form of pop music is expressive, but often of emotions and experiences that lean towards the darker, grittier and less rose-tinted version of the human experience. Opthof admits that writing is a way for her to process and expunge her darker thoughts, and express sentiments that may not always be happy, but are ones that most people can identify with – exactly the purpose of good art.
“I feel like the album represents an evolution of understanding your place in the world and how much you can restrain yourself and how much you can get away with, how you respect yourself. A lot of it comes from what was going on in the news at the time and the incorporating my own experiences,” she explained, adding that the songs “Time For Action” and “See You Suffer” were her own interpretations of what she saw on the news and what was happening in the world, through her own distinctive lens.
The freedom exhibited by Paragon Cause and Wagner bore wonderful fruit with the song Silent Prayer, a more experimental track that features a more obviously modern pop vibe, to go along with Opthof’s moody storytelling.
“We felt so much freer to try different things on this album and it led to some wonderful surprises. With Silent Prayer, we said, ‘let’s try to make a song with loops.’ Michelle played a little piano line and we started looping it and experimented with other sounds and bringing in different genres like electronica and hip-hop into the production. The three of us have very diverse influences and for this new album, we weren’t afraid to bring those into the recording. There were times when we tried something really bizarre and when we listened to it back the next day were like, ‘ah, I think we went a little too far,’ but we were okay doing that. We got some amazing ideas out of that process,” said Bonaparte.
Paragon Cause is also exploring a cutting edge way to bring their music to the masses. As well as performing live in clubs and other concert venues, they have also started streaming performances live on YouTube and Facebook.
“The first time we did it, it was just an experiment, but we had Americans watching it, people from Europe and from all parts of Canada – and we didn’t really promote it. But it worked and it was amazing. So, we are going to incorporate that sort of show into our model of promoting our music. We think it’s the way of the future, especially for indie bands, to leverage the technology and the reach of social media,” said Bonaparte.
Music with depth, music that explores the complexities and contradictions of our lives, our experiences and our emotions – this is what Paragon Cause does so well. By enveloping these sentiments and ideas in music that is compelling, memorable, hypnotic and superlatively crafted, there is little doubt that there is still so much more intriguing, enigmatic and potent music yet to come.

Slaves is my favorite song, although Crosses comes at such a close second... this LP and acts of worship I both need to own in some sort of physical copy one day, they're so good at expressing emotions I didn't even know I felt...

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽

Situationist coldwave from France that is deliciously icy, high-drama vampire vocals colliding with icy synth & guitar.
