Sharing is caring to the extreme so share a shower with friends saves water drips from the shower head powered ahead, full blast warm from the tap I came back to find the kitchen was flooded I stood in shock I made an accident waxxident! (H-h-honey? Jimmy made an accident waxxident) The sun was stunned in its shell it hit the earth like a penny dropped in a wishing well I tried to fish a wish out of the wishing well but I fell in the well and landed on a fish I wish I hadn't had an accident waxxident!

I. Table for one in this sterile light with a window to talk to I ordered a plain glazed so I wouldn't be loitering The realization of my futility stared at me from the bottom of a cup of ice water I couldn't sit comfortably cause the guy at the counter was looking at me funny Not in education, employment, or training oh, what a life I never wanted it to be this way but here it is I read the writing on the wall it was full of names and obscenities scrawled in bright colors vivid yet decrepit II. Silly me, I'm in the city and this is just some old graffiti and it's no more meaningful now than any plan I ever had for myself I never wanted to be this way, a mindless pawn I never wanted to have to hold on for this long I never wanted to be this far gone it's all wrong, it's all wrong, it's all wrong III. And as I sing to the half eaten doughnut I get a text from miles away from someplace where I'll never be at least not till I finally stand up For now i'll take solace in my N. E. E. T. brothers I never wanted it to be this way but here it is IV. [Instrumental]

Alarm bells don't go off in my head like they used to I broke my moral compass flying somewhere up there futility for the sake of utility's not what I'm used to sitting back here turning knobs and pushing buttons See the world I chose No time for second thoughts, no patience for second chances I'm spinning through the sky as my ancestors spun in their graves I see disapproving faces in the clouds I'm spitting at the feet of former slaves See the world I chose Sometimes I start to think things aren't quite right Everything will be all right I hope so, anyway

about

We made this album in 2014 as an exercise and experiment in blending composition with improvisation. Every song has at least one improvised element, some are entirely so. We drew from many genres and influences to create this album, including punk, folk, grunge, blues, black metal, jazz, grindcore, noise, and a good deal of Frank Zappa. We sought for an abrasive quality to the music and wanted our songs to range everywhere from confessional to nonsensical.

There is spoken word, singing, and some screaming on this record. There are a lot of rhythmic mistakes, but we kept them in the spirit of the improvisational. The keen observer will notice patterns and the mathematically minded may be able to identify a particular pattern in the lengths of the tracks. This record is meant to be listened to with an open mind. We hope you enjoy it.

Recorded with L's equipment in N's basement.
