binarabbit Mignon gets a bit more serious. If you take to some of the recording sessions (check out Actionesse's FB), you can tell they really put effort into making sure this sounded right.

This album you can (dare I say) sink your teeth into.

Can't wait for new music come 2018! Favorite track: Shark Hunting.

If you don't trust me You can just throw these words away I'm sitting still, feeling sick Choking on the smoke and the fumes All eyes, all ears Rest upon a right thing to be said Or did, And I'd listen Oh, yes, I'd listen If all our atoms, they line up I bet I'd pass right through you When you asked me who I thought I was "I always thought I was you" Drown in this ocean with me I'll teach these blind fish to see When I ask the world of you I say please

The Imposter 02:21
Water in my lungs Water in my eyes You will know the truth But it'll all be lies Though silent as It seems to be You will know the truth And it'll set you free Water in my lungs Water in my eyes You will know the truth But it'll all be lies Though silent as It seems to be You will know the truth And it'll set you free This beast never sleeps It only hungers more It only hungers more If you never ask And say you ever knew That the person you are Is really you So you don your disguise The imposter hides inside This beast never sleeps It only hungers more It only hungers more

You got it You're a natural But I see you have your doubts You should, you should be embarrassed All the things that you say You treat people so low Competitive spirit shows Always striving for control I'm in this To win this What's in my heart's not simple I come in demanding respect Trouble, let's be friends But I don't see us as the same man Maybe I'm gettin' old Maybe I'm gettin' old Maybe I'm gettin' old Or maybe I just don't know

I have no fear of its teeth I'll poison the ocean I'll poison the sea I do not envy it in flight I'll poison the air I'll poison the sky You might call this revenge But what I fear is not my friend Said you might call this revenge But what I fear is not my friend I have no fear of its teeth I'll poison the ocean I'll poison the sea I do not envy it in flight I'll poison the air I'll poison the sky You might call this revenge But what I fear is not my friend You might call this revenge But what I fear is not my friend

about

Actionesse is a band from Seattle, WA. Coming off of their involvement in the Four Corners: A Split compilation and a slew of live shows, they have teamed up with producer Ahren Lanfor to record a set of brand new songs. Sink your teeth into Actionesse’s finest delicacy yet: Mignon.

"In Actionesse’s new EP, the band has clutched the reigns of their signature nihilistic party-punk style with a sense of focus, refinement, and fearless exploration. With the EP’s opener, “This Is What My Anxiety Sounds Like” we have Actionesse doing what they do well — breakneck punk rock chaos drenched in brass horns and attitude. Other songs dig deeper and experiment with the band’s dynamics, including the EP's brooding and suspenseful closer “Shark Hunting.” Engineer Ahren Lanfor's crisp production style keeps the band’s wonderfully deranged personality front and center throughout this EP. As you are jerked and jolted through the world of Actionesse, “Mignon" feels less like a roller coaster than it does a haunted carnival ride that’s about to explode."
- Ryan Alexander from Crystal Desert
