Concussion bombs in our eyes

Endless, toothless memes as dialogue.

Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay" Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away" But I'm still standing in the light And I won't go down without a fight Some say, "True love is just a lie" Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…

Grant and I became obsessed with maj7 chords and that led to a lot of jazzy sounds. The title came before there were words and it seems about right. Megan really made this one shine. Backing vocals by Megan Kleven https://megankleven.bandcamp…

Input the chord sequence from a Spice Rack Collective song I wrote on guitar, converted a bass take from that song into MIDI, added a couple of VSTs, programmed some drums, and added some royalty-free voice samples I found online somewhere. Pretty…

Human depths are darker.

In the final few minutes That I'll be around Will you waltz with me in it Would you turn me down Would you turn me down As the time's running out And I make my advance Would there be any doubt If I take the chance Can I have one…
