1.	Following 19:37	lyrics	buy track
You are mine You are my saint You are mine You are my saint This place was born here on my feet And time, We will create In time We will make Our minds From this space So come down from heaven And you'll see This world was made for you and me
2.	This Body Is Our Cave 14:43	lyrics	buy track
THIS BODY IS OUR CAVE An infinite and transcendental consciousness is funneled into my small and temporary humanity. Bound by abstract, unreliable and limiting language, knowledge has no where to travel. Influenced by equally unreliable senses, pandering to unnecessary physical need and desire, my choices just as limited as my knowledge. THIS BODY IS OUR GLIMPSE Existence only works in these reflections. A physical manifestation is necessary for direct experience, experience for knowledge. This body is a holy gift that must be loved. My brief vantage point is the only view I get. 'I' want to float and stretch across pathways of cosmic information, through all dimensions.

Drain me out Drain me out As I sleep Slip away Slip away As I die Loosen up Loosen up And I don't know
4.	Misanthrope 20:53	lyrics	buy track
The owls are not what they seem From the dark of futures past A magician longs to see One chants out Fire walk with me My arms bend back An animal Close your eyes You'll burst into flames Fire walk with me Fire walk with me Fire walk with me I'll fit you I'll catch you with my death bag I'll fit you I'll catch you with my death bag I'm going insane I'll kill again I'm going insane I'll kill again I'll fit you I'll catch you with my death bag I'll fit you I'll catch you with my death bag I'm going insane I'll kill again I'm going insane I'll kill again
5.	Second Bodies 11:20	lyrics	buy track
The water's running slowly through the ground And gravity will pull me through the sound There is no presence but my open mind Your body's shapeless from the end of time I see you running through the endless field I see you running in a place of fear Breathe out Breathe out Our second body is an endless mind Our struggled purpose is to release the binds Undoing knots that entangle our shape And when we do this we will begin to erase The gaping chasm that consumes us inside We're just a point within an endless line Not real Not real Unreal
6.	The Wire 27:47	lyrics	buy track
Get trashed Get trashed Get trashed Get trashed Get fucked Get fucked Get fucked Amen Amen Amen Amen Breathe in Breathe in Get drunk Get drunk Get drunk* *-various other wailings as the lyrics are improvised

about

This is our debut studio LP. A snapshot of the last year of our lives in music, we started in December of 2018 as a thunderous five piece, Alex and Aiden on guitar, Ian Anderson on bass, and Ernie and Shel on drums. We initially ran a total of 9 amps and we were so loud that it became vastly too tremendous (I had to hook up 4 PAs to have audible vocals). We inevitably downsized in preference for clearer audio and therefore had better performance. It was in February that Ian left the band for college and work so Ernie took hold of the role of bassist in his spot and from there on we became a well oiled machine.

During our time writing this album we practiced quite often and quite gut-wrenchingly. To call this album an act of self immolation is somewhat accurate, it was not easy to make and proved to be extremely physically demanding. Some shows I would end up injured, on the verge of passing out, or just completely drenched in liquids. It wasn't pretty but it was cathartic and powerful, I felt like I was someone new every time and it was intense.

We recorded this at UNKNOWN in Anacortes, WA from July 1st to July 5th with our friend Nicholas Wilbur and it was there that these songs became more than just long-winded noisy rock songs. They became almost orchestral in a sense. A lot of the longer tracks have around 30 to 40 tracks of instruments, vocals, etc. Nich did a fantastic job with this work, we are very very happy with how this came out. We also hope that you will be very very happy with this as well. Thank you all for your support.
