I've known joy, I've known pleasure- Ain't no question which I like better- Which gives longer, which gives stronger- We confuse these two things- Joy and pleasure are not the same- One that gives, one that needs- One that hungers while the other feeds. Here's my story and why I say- I was thinking about it just today- when I am working I am earning so that I can spend- But time can't be earned and it has an end- We confuse these two things- Joy and pleasure are not the same- One that gives, one that needs- One that hungers while the other feeds- I race around, pulling all the levers- Always looking for something better- And all the while I advance this way- The shiny luster always fades- We confuse these two things- Joy and pleasure are not the same- One that gives, one that needs- One that hungers while the other feeds- What's that thing deep inside?- Wants to break out and electrify- It's gratitude that knows no bounds- Can't be lost where it is found- I've known joy, I've known pleasure- Ain't know question which I like better- If a common core to uncover- It might be that joy is lived with others- I've known joy, I've known pleasure- Ain't know question which I like better-

Flocks of pheasants fan their feathers in my face- Fucking assholes- Flocks of pheasants fan their feathers in my face- Fucking assholes- That’s what they say- That’s what they say, where they aren’t paid to look another way- That’s what they say, in their hearts- Where they don’t have to smile- Pedantically pea-cocking your foul purchase, in my face- Fucking assholes- Pedantically pea-cocking your foul purchase, in my place- That’s what they feel- Where they live for real- That’s what they feel, for real- And really, how could I blame you my friend? How could I blame you my kin- My kin- So many kin- So many kin- So many kin- [too many to know, too many to know] So many kin- [too many to know, too many to know] Don’t just say, that it’s not in our name- And then keep right on dancing all the same- The same, the same- The same old lazy jig, that our fathers did- As they blocked out the future that they wouldn’t live- That they wouldn’t give- Don’t just say, that it’s not in our name- And then let the dealers lay out the same old game- The same old game- With the loaded dice that treated us so nice- When keeping all the winnings has such a heavy, heavy price-

Avec « Pox Calypso », Salopecia illustre sa résistance obstinée contre les nombreuses tendances pernicieuses de notre époque aberrante.
« Pox Calypso » fait référence à cette danse macabre mêlant isolement, méfiance et ennui à laquelle nous avons été confronté pendant les vagues de confinements suite à l’apparition de la Covid-19. A chaque chanson de l’album, son propre univers, son propre protagoniste et sa propre voix. Salopecia conjuguent les influences qui pogotent en lui : hip-hop, grunge et électro s'entremêlent de mille façons dans chacun des titres, mais toujours avec la marque salopecienne ponctuant de grincements, grognements, gargouillis et glottis des grooves hypnotiques que ce batteur de formation manipule avec brio.


Pour accompagner l’ambiance apocalyptique de « Pox Calypso », Léon Maret, prolifique auteur de bande dessinée et illustrateur, convoque un imaginaire eschatologique où le grotesque du trait répond à l’absurde du monde que Robin entaille de ses textes. Ainsi par exemple des poissons voraces qu'on y aperçoit en référence à « A Lotta Piranhas », chanson où l’industrie culturelle est personnifiée par des Piranhas assoiffés de sang.
