lyrics

the sound of your hands un-touching the strings is never going to reach me the sight of your lips pursed around no word will never get me thinking heat and pressure makes it happen heat and pressure fifty-seven million miles of human hard drive each one detachable like phlegm implanted sometime in November 1985 I touch the blades of grass I want to be like one of them I want to be part of the problem I want to know I really am I want to feel one real emotion I want to be part of the human species again another morning in the stillness of free-fall next to the body of another broken promise to yourself

The curtain finally opens. I see you standing on a crate.
You close your eyes and you say nothing. You open them and you say:
Is there an animal in here? I closed my eyes and I felt nothing.
No heat, no gravity. I crossed my heart and I felt nothing.
You can’t leave until I leave.

This one also took me a while to get into. It strikes me as less HC than Untitled and less poppy than Ultrapop (stupid I know). Let's call this the No Wave record. Its musical (and amusical) density is matching the persistent sound in my head right now. barnaby nygren

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
