    Eco-Mix vinyl production uses leftover wax scraps that are already in the factory, meaning each record is unique and the color is completely random. It’s more environmentally friendly as it’s using up material that would have otherwise been thrown away.

    Now that we have these in hand, we believe the majority of our run will be purple but since they are shrink wrapped there is still some room for variation.

Conquering glory I didn’t know it’d be this boring Undefinable triumph Have I finally gotten over my hump? Mountains and oceans I can see from my window I just don’t care for the way the wind blows Astral projections And I’m the son who can’t take rejection Heaven’s never been so high Injecting passion right into my eye Never have we been so far making love in the film star’s car Never have we been so far As we grasp and we grab And sweat out the jewels As we laugh and we gasp Who could only wish to be so cool As we laugh, as we gasp As we grab, as we grasp As we laugh Conquering glory I should have known not to be this boring A gun, a light, a spark of future fires A song to sing for tomorrow’s choirs Is it a breakthrough or a breakdown? Please tell me why I keep coming around

Is it easier to end or begin? Beginning can end and be so easy Just show up and shed your skin Begin again Like an artist indecision is probable And I know it’s not phenomenal As bitter and petty as a divorcee But I hope someone will remember me A red heart in a black and white sea is it simpler to end, or begin? Ending is filled with our uncertainty Everything left you cannot spend Begin again Like an artist indecision is probable And I know it’s not phenomenal Like a poet it’s all too personal Irreversible, it's irresponsible As bitter and petty as the bourgeoisie But I hope someone will remember me A red heart in a black and white sea Just show up and shed your skin Begin again Everything left you cannot spend Begin again

Why doesn’t it end? Why don’t we just burn up? No compassion left to lend No charms to rub for luck Eternity thrown away on a crumpled up doodle Hold my hand and laugh, it’s all so futile Whether we burn up or we drown There’s comfort in our thorny crowns And if the flood carries us away Then there’s peace in the way we sway You should’ve known it’d be this hard It’s the final chapter and we’re the stars You should have known it’d get this far Earth underwater and slaves on mars I said hurry up please it’s time There doesn’t need to be reason or rhyme When the water is moonlit on the worldwide drive All the atmosphere needs is me And you’re the only order I need

Uncertain in the way you walk Uncertain in the way you move Every door opened is locked Hidden away with nothing to lose Weren’t you meant to laugh at convention? A fool’s last legged desperation Weren’t you meant to laugh at convention? A fool’s last legged desperation Weren’t we all meant to get bloody rich? Covering our skin with blood and spit? Isn’t this how laughing was meant to end? Crocodile tears selling out all of our friends Weren’t you meant to laugh at restriction? A brilliant lecture on masturbation Weren’t you meant to laugh at restriction? A brilliant lecture on masturbation Prepared in the way you walk Prepared imitation of one’s and two’s Finding comfort in what you mock Finding peace in intrusive blues Weren’t you meant to laugh at convention? A fool’s last legged desperation Weren’t you gonna murder your itch? Cut it and close it stitch by stitch

If the world ends today then I might just pray If the world ends tomorrow I hope I don’t die in the USA Shot up with piss and vinegar unaware of our dissonance Beating your chest with the confidence of ignorance The applause for the kill that I tried to ignore I lived in my bedroom but I can’t anymore They make me pick my head up off the floor Unable to stay in the world I created Unable to be in the clouds I knew that look was so outdated And how could you say that out loud? Stories all white washed and sold to the unwashed And it’s sad to say I once believed In the dreams that were promised and all of the prayers that were received Uh huh huh huh huh hey hey hey I don’t wanna die in the USA I made my own reality Tried to stretch my hand over the Atlantic So I no longer had to be me Cos everyday is anxious and frantic Now look at the state of me I can’t leave the state of me (Uh huh huh huh huh hey hey hey, d-i-e-i-n-t-h-e)

Black Tarmac 04:37
Swimming out of the grey into the black tarmac breathe again when your sins aren’t speakable Swimming out of the grey into the black tarmac repent when your sins aren’t teachable This is what you wanted This what you expected with the lip service protected This what you expected This is what you wanted with the empty gestures flaunted the death of fake progress we must do our part the death of false idols we’ll rip them apart Political performance and hollow art Swallow it down and sweeten our heart Sweeten our heart Swimming out of the grey into the black tarmac breathe again when your sins aren’t speakable Does it help you feel alright? Even when the clouds cover the night Take the dose, your worry subsides Does your voice still feel dry? But on the right side, on the bright side You no longer discern the hollow Put the picket signs down Now it’s time to follow

I want to lay down and close my eyes at night My legs tired and sore The pain in me that can be no more When a night of glory washes onto my shore Give us this chance, this chance you’ll break Give me my freedom before I’m locked in a cage Was I too free-flowing, inventive, and beautiful? Unable to be contained in your idea of dutiful Numberless shadows of summer sing in full throated ease But despite the quality I think you must have missed me You must have missed me I hope you’ve enjoyed your night at the working man’s ballet It’s the only way I might dance through the workday, dance through the workday Run away I’m someone to keep an eye on Hear the song that my feet sing Shout it out let my praise ring I’m an undeniable phenomenon As the brilliance flashes on I’ll leave them all with my swan song Da da da da do do do

The hollow men can’t carry us then The ground opens to swallow Cover your eyes and count to ten Power can’t save us but still I follow So we’re stuck in the inbetween Too timid to take a stand All dried out and still unseen Like raisins forgotten and tanned In the purple hour kingdom In our purple hour kingdom The hollow men can’t carry us then The ground opens to swallow Cover your eyes and count to ten Power can’t save us but still I follow So we’re stuck in the inbetween Too timid to take a stand All dried out and still unseen Like gold that’s buried in the sand We’ll dance around the landfill And sing for the bomb But when it doesn’t come We’ll re-word all of our favorite songs So the lyrics will read How our indecision has left us numb To the impending doom That the center has brung

- Dave Cantrell | Stereo Embers Magazine


"… a chaotic cataclysm of soul-searching, world-ending nihilistic bliss and doom."
