about

GLORIA IN ABSENTIA, the new single from MOJAVE LORDS, was made at Rancho de La Luna in Joshua Tree, California. The song is dedicated to the memory of all victims lost during the Bataclan terrorist attack in Paris in November 2015. The label releasing our vinyl is LEFT FRONT DOOR RECORDS. Based in Paris, LFDR was started by Arthur Dénouveaux. Arthur is a survivor of the attack and LFDR is his way of giving something back to the life-affirming force of Rock & Roll. There are two versions of Gloria In Absentia: One in French and one in English. This is the English version.

Mojave Lords are from Joshua Tree, California. In 2014, Bingo Richey and David Catching (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal, earthlings?) decided to put a band together. Along with help from Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Tuatara, Walking Papers), Brian O'Connor (EoDM), Chris Goss (Masters of Reality), and Gene Trautmann (EoDM) they birthed a new sound.

lyrics

GLORIA IN ABSENTIA

HAND IN HAND THE SHADOW AND I
THE SHADOW AND YOU
ALONE WE GO, WE WALK TOGETHER
NO LAMP COULD EVER BURN SO BRIGHT
TO CHASE THESE DARK HOURS FROM OUR YEARS
SO WE MUST BEAR THEM ON ALONG
GLORIA IN ABSENTIA

BENEATH THIS GREAT EXPANSE OF STARS
WITHIN THIS SHALLOW GRAVE
WE LAY OUR LIES DOWN BARE BETWEEN US
NOT IN HOPE OF REMEMBERING
OR POURING WINE FROM THIS BURNING CUP
BUT ONLY WITNESSING THE PASSING
GLORIA IN ABSENTIA

WHEN ALL AMBASSADORS OF SPRING
REVEAL THE TURNING THAT THEY BRING
THE DUSTY SOIL WILL WANT FOR NOTHING
GLORIA IN ABSENTIA
