Terrestrials' latest release, "Endure," is a sobering look at isolation, mistreatment, lost identity, and lives locked up by systems of incarceration. It doesn't try to be nice to its subject, but paints a bleak picture. Unclaimed, exiled, unheard, encased. The repetition of images of walls and imprisonment adds to the emotional weight, and the song's starkest statement is "Isolation robbed the people of their hope." What makes "Endure" so moving is its sense of memory, these are people who never got to be human, but whose stories remain.
