    6 Track EP on a surf blue cassette. Limited to only 100 copies!

    Each cassette is loving jammed into a vintage lunch sack (hand numbered), wrapped with the greatest of care, and jettisoned into the universe like Spock at the end of Wrath of Khan. From there an order of blind monks coats it in a protective meringue-like substance and whispers obscenities at each package. After that the postmaster general sets fire to it in front of 3 starving orphans and *POOF* like magic it appears on your front stoop.

    Includes unlimited streaming of A Thousand Year Flood via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

nuts and bolts, tearing steel
slow as life, nothing's real
the cabin breaks, into daylight
blind and breathless, into the white

a tearing sound as loud as god
as every surface's clawed
strapped to a falling star
and everything just falls apart

a world once big and bright
sits small from the heart of night
down the drain i whip and thrash
as i become no more than ash

cascades, pale and white
cascades, of a dying light
slow descent, with land in sight
and landing now there's no daylight

breath held, an eternity
as they watch what became of me
strange faces on the screen
when their cheers turn to a scream

the slow cascade of life
sits still against the sky
no words, no thought, no breath
as they fight just to make sense

two minutes, burned in deep
a void stuck on repeat
a void stuck in the air
that smoke just frozen there

so now, begin again
when nothing broke will mend
flashbacks, all sour and scorn
as old loves will bear new thorns

so this
is what
they call
free fall
so this
is all
a crash
and
b
u
r
n
