NO MORE CAN BE DONE is the debut full length studio album from P+A+G+E+S, recorded during 3 and 7 February 2025 with Simon Ratcliffe at Sound and Motion Studios, Cape Town, and will be released towards the end of October 2025.
The album deals with existential dread, geopolitical despair, environmental decay and raw emotion contrasted by inciting perseverance within an increasingly fascist and dying world. Our message is to take note of environmental degradation and to challenge oppression by standing up for BIPOC, women, LGBTQI+, human & animal rights.
The album begins with a metamorphosis of jolting, chaotic noise that melds into an industrial gait, dissipating into a gentle symphonic closure. Midway through the album continues with intensively constructed, dissonant and discordant tones, cemented with hefty drums. The lyrics utilizes an approach that distills the bigger picture into a simplistic mantra, carried by a disembodied vocal delivery.
The cover image shows the stages of a dandelion’s life cycle symbolizing resilience and perseverance through the chaos of life, aiming to instill a visual calmness that contrasts the album’s sonic intensity. The dandelion embodies the quality of being gentle but strong, spreading with the wind.
