You can reinvent yourself by cutting your past into pieces. Even if it’s recklessness, the reinvention will force a new order in your being. This is the point to which Activity have led themselves on “Scissors”, the second single from their forthcoming album, A Thousand Years In Another Way. Where we were last conjured by the Brooklyn four-piece was a space deathly defined by the sizzling art rock of lead single, “In Another Way”, but here, they’re stepping into a different current of shadow work which embrace cooler ambient electronic currents moving through the atmosphere that promise light from their dark soul explorations. “Forget about your broken arms / Forget about your pictures,” Jess Rees tempts the listener. Her tone is vacant, and the trance-like state she puts you under is the kind of transfiguration in sound and being that allows you to see your true self — even if it’s always been the true inner nature of people to embrace their self- destructive ways.
