schoolyard 04:50
standing in the schoolyard I had to try so hard to belong all day long, to the tribe I would have taken a bribe but no one was offering trading cards on the playground no friends, loose ends all around I would dream of ancient beasts I would pinch my wrists and bash my head against a wall and the rest I can't recall the teachers tried to shape my sight but I had my eye on much more exotic sites it's too strange they said to every thought I've ever had I couldn't rest or make a move but I had nothing to prove amidst the primitive machines I had no words to fight their screens so just leave me be and stand aproximately where I can't see you

from Oaxaca 06:20
under stress in a trance all around me barbed wire skeletons dance but it's easy to ignore all the fatal signs of bore with which every human's blessed trance forming

dutch gin 06:54
left his keys behind said goodbye, see you soon he knows it's a lie, surely the kid will cry all is lost so why try? sketch a smile, drink his gin dreaming of sacrificing two knights to get the queen he's no longer bound but he notes down time and place he just wants to be found every night a different face for a different price unaware, shake his hand understand, he doesn't care a cruel mirror in every news stand she won't dance no more nothing will be like before what will they say? is it too late to pray?

highlands 05:56
can't back out now I've bought the ticket and everything the highlands aren't that far why don't you socialize I promise not to act surprised when it all comes crumbling down and falls appart On windy days I'll watch that murder of crows dissing my woes play on the snow all night long I'll be howling at the moon are we there yet to mark my lust with a branding spoon

everyone runs towards danger nothing's safe from itself it's the enthropy that sets you free from the stupid cocoon you call a self

about

the recording sessions for this album were kind of unusual. at certain points the working material was 30+ tracks, including song-type songs, extended jams, meticulous instrumentals and short experimental tracks. it was a bit crazy at times.

because of this the direction of the album was also undecided until about a month and a half before the release. depending on the week, I was inclined to release a double album that included pretty much everything I had been working on; or release an album of psychedelic jams and fusion instrumentals; or it could have been an album with songs and little snippets here and there.

in the end I decided to go with a tried and true approach for me: a bit of this and a bit of that. in complete opposition to this I had almost no working titles for the album. the one I eventually chose came to mind very recently and, granted, it is a pretty silly title, but I like the sound and the contradiction in it and it was a hundred times better and catchier than any of the three I considered before.

overall I am pleased with the result. the sound is probably cleaner than previous albums, but I think it still sounds like handwrist and it won't feel out of place in my discography.
