David Carr Music I had the pleasure of working on the record with these guys and had one of the more enjoyable studio experiences I've had for some time. They display a matureness of sound that belies their youth and the compositions are simply breathtaking. We worked hard but god, sometimes we laugh heartily (especially recording backing vocals).
Enjoy! Favorite track: The Schrödinger's Strain.

Stenau, Iris, Draining Sepsis drips, into the pyrex Saaliha hoists her dead mass from her quotidian hole; scrutinised, rejected, extirpated. Limbs clutch for maternal under-analysis like a sycophantic pedlar. Exalts the “Balardi”s, “And whoso disbelieves in it, those are they who are the losers”? Smothered in the saltless sand Al pa col deri waa'haahi dur al co dine mi ma mus massur ga ha'fa da se lem def kela co de la she se da sa la mafur ti ha le harush mi en Ka'aba

Mutiny and secular peace: the portmanteau Cross-plane falsetto Dead flattened traditions vociferate The sonnet of once prodigious prostatics Gag on sand that was once used to indoctrinate David Attenborough special, sharia won’t cover up for the cameras BREAKING NEWS Knee locked hailers wave their arms to screeching winds The half flagged jubilant monolith now swings flacid before The black suit and tie What cecity shouted? It was conversed by the connoisseurs of contemporary life The enigma rejected by fate Quoted for a life actuary Languorous, but we didn't read chapter 11 The mean appears somewhat adamant Abdomen mass inflates Doctrinal doubts escalate Vandykes are cleaved Shoved down the Hijab pouch Now, Beseech the Leech You’re so perfect when You’re diluted and bleached Aniconic beings clamour Foundation of piss Islamic scripture breeds Thalidomide pests Archaic veils beseeched by leech

A-Rab 47 02:06
The collective stumps can’t bleed enough for this lust, of instruments provoking mass murder; with their cold dead hands they choke their country to liberty. Beer haters and the beekeepers hate liberty, freedom Hebdo and the Frenchies they had the wrong idea Aint no problem that can’t be solved with a full-auto assault weapon Saving dollar bills for an A-rab 47 Corporations set the scene, who can resist that new gun sheen? To blast those who fuck and live in sand In the market for a piece? There’s a piece of you there and there and there, strapping bombs to your chest, we haven’t finished killing our young yet. Western culture, a gift from us, Democracy and Guantanamo, a place to rest severed heads. Mujahedeen, then Al Qaeda, to Taliban, funded by our second-hands. The insurrection, beyond our heads, against common sense, Charleston heads pave way for Arabic deaths, pathetic. Endemic, in systems that fail, where lead prevails. Western culture, a gift from us, A Frankenstein with debt to pay. What could of possibly made you do this, to us? What possibly could of made you follow, this path? Just forget Iran-Contra, Reagan, Bush Number 1 and 2, Apart from that we never did anything to you. Six digits on your liquor, liberal counterfeiter Just another nigger, center-mass pull the trigger Gun-nut militia, cultural ammunition Ignorance as a weapon, A-rab 47

A current affair, couldn’t give one, never gave as conservative as a nun. A one sided story, spat on your epiglottis, can’t drink a coke without health being the focus. Never happy, sneaking on your privacy, unbelievably dumb your shame their money. Sensationalism we can’t stalk, have an argument they love a good talk. Ignorance down to the sky, couldn’t understand a single thing their smart enjoy your frustration, they love disease and pulling your strings, ignorance down to the sky couldn’t understand a single their smart enjoy your frustration they love disease and pulling your strings. When you’ve got your groceries they’ve got your receipt they’ve got all the support underneath their feet a foolish two love it their time adolescence graduate has always committed the crime. The cameras don’t breathe but the audience do and if they could they would they’d suffocate too always the nigger there gonna pull that line the perfect skill and figure they’ve got lines to mime. Ignorance down to the sky, couldn’t understand a single thing their smart enjoy your frustration, they love disease and pulling your strings, ignorance down to the sky couldn’t understand a single their smart enjoy your frustration, they’ve got clean insults for you and your child. I can’t stand it at 6, when I come home shut it down, let us work alone, you make it up and you will trick us, I won’t do it your media anilingus If you can see a new don’t catch the flu they don’t care they can’t need they count on what you choose, partially Christian and can’t reflect don’t know which from which don’t try and ask. They’re gonna feed you from a straw of bullshit, induced to your cortex from TV to your lips, when they’ve got their antagonist they’ve got their figure on your bedside table your media anilingus. I can’t stand it at 6, when I come home shut it down let us work alone, you make it up and you will trick us, I won’t do it your media anilingus.

Fuck Why shall we die we’re all doomed, with no help from the cure, the vaccine misused. Why shall we die we’re all doomed, with no help from the cure, the vaccine misused. Your intentions aren’t clear, too much money Help us disease lord, too much money Your intentions aren’t clear too much money, help us disease lord too much money The skin peeling off my shoulders, thought it was sun-burn, vomiting up my interior and toes pushing deep into my skull Bleeding, secluded from the crowd soon bestowed with the same fate my life poor but not to be shortened by corporate deceit Deceit, conceived through haze, disease. The subordinate drop like flies in our television commercials, i am purpose thy the keys to aristocratic longevity adaptable codes of energy now reborn.

The shell in the bedroom lead on the mysterious door note by desk and blood all over the floor done for exposure and you’re caught out feelings absent until story breaks out Need another problem to remember the cause need a second time before a final pause tapping on your keys you don’t know empathy all in for the rest for a blood mnemonic has it sunk in to your poisonous mind has it been perceived by your boisterous kind running like seagulls to catch a new headline to watch a new death to hold up the signs To hold up the signs To hold up the signs to remember the cause to hold up the signs To hold up the signs for your poisonous mind your boisterous kind will hold up the signs Signs of oblivion in a dark place in touch with a virus to plague this race held up the signs for poor and moronic we all need a plan for a social mnemonic Social Mnemonic A Social Mnemonic a planned death for a Social Mnemonic Social Mnemonic A Social Mnemonic Jihadist thought for a Social Mnemonic
