buried in all of this fatalist shit.
acting as though I’ve removed myself from all of it.
knife through the hype.
crush with the blade.
press out the bits that you feel should be saved.
if falsehoods were food I would puck, slice, de-vein
eat myself sick and then open the fridge again.
herd every word,
pen them away,
suppressed in a place where they can be contained.
am I trying to trick myself into it?
so careful when words spill off from my tongue.
Is it really lying if you think you’ve slowly come undone?
sharp shards of crown weathered away.
raw nerve exposed and aching on colder days.
unconsciously carving,
away at my teeth.
bury the bad things that happen to me.
have i managed to trick myself into it?
am i back on the clear path again?
wait for phone calls from friends and close family.
hang up because it’s a sales call again.

This record yearns and aches with sorrow and hope, tenderness and broken-heartedness, that tears you up. This music reaches out to you. I loved the blend of acoustic, electric, and synth swells. I loved how many of the musical phrases ended on an accent beyond where you expected them to, a feeling both marching and soaring. This album is mottled light through the leaves falling onto the stone walls where you sit, awash in feeling. The swell at the end, cutting into silence, took my breath away. pinkytheent

Prog-doom awesomeness! This album is just so versatile in compositions and just so modern in thematic approach and visuals! Dah-ee-tah! Every song is a different kinda gem, some of them crawls in your melancholy center and some makes you wanna hit the streets of neo-noir futuristic metropolis. Killer record! 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
