I inhaled and you got small I walked across the yard It took years Swallowing echoes in my ears Rhythmic washes come over me I stood in confusion of the sight Where had my clarity gone I waited for the moment to pass I woke up the next day To find everything out of place Jamais vu Uncontrollable fear I tried to get a grip I got into the car One hundred-eighty degrees I swallowed the shape I sank into my bed A moment of bliss I stand in aghast at the sight Where has my clarity gone I'm waiting for the moment to pass

about

This is the full length version of our demo, originally recorded back in 2016. We encourage everyone to embrace this newer version of the demo more as a belated debut record. Even before this re-issue, we've always considered the demo a record.

In this version, you can find two new songs that were cut from the demo, almost on a last minute basis, for apparently no reason at all other than confidence. This version is also newly remixed and remastered and is overall the better listening experience in the band's opinion.

"after not listening to this album for a while, then listening to again. i can still say that this is an absolute musical masterpiece. great sound choices and amazing guitar. i love finding small bands that pour so much passion into their music. i love long songs that feel like a journey to listen to with very poetic and random lyrics. this music is something i never get tired of listening to."

- Juonox

"Is it Hum? Is it Slint? Is it Godspeed You! Black Emperor (I ask a lot of questions)? I don’t know, but it is dreamy, heavy, and makes me happy."

- Jon, Bearded Gentlemen Music.
