America is at war and most every band is just thumping along in some blind-eyed
stupor, poutinÆ out some goth-disco love-to-love-ya-baby slime, inoculating us,
massaging with entertainment. Erase ErrataÆs new album, their third, Nightlife,
is a look at American life with the fluorescents on. Singer/guitarist Jenny
Hoysten, like Nelson Algren, serves up narratives that examine realities no one
wants to look at, war and poverty. ôI think the US can be a wonderful place and
I generally stay positive,ö Hoysten explains, ôbut itÆs overwhelming to think of
all the things going on under our noses and our silent concession. People are
distracted from doing anything or even thinking about our country's foreign
dealings, disturbing trends of corporate privilege and other major issues. My
lyrics are about the government, political disillusionment, and the things that
keep us from thinking about what is really going on--being distracted by night
life, consumerism and celebrity watching.ö The albumÆs pithy title track, itÆs
lone line a thesis: ôNight life, forget about real life.ö
