A strange, somewhat grim vehicle of electropunk-inspired industrial pop nonsense. I've been told my lyrics verge on the slightly intense. With effortless underg
I'd love to sound more like :Wumpscut: or Katscan or someone like that but I'm afraid that's unlikely. I've spent too many years looking for proper industrial punk bands and the sort of hairy European misanthropes that float my boat, but come up empty, so I thought I'd do it myself. That said, I cringe listening to my own tunes - which unfortunately I've been known to do sometimes; possibly because they're all gloriously unhinged. I suppose Jandek and Suckdog are role models as well then. Does this break the 'evil Nihilistic bleakness' third wall a bit? I always wonder that about industrial and post-industrial groups. They all sound so sensible and dour. That said, I'd like to think my real life is somewhat grim, and I'm not just moaning on about Nazi zombies or cybernetic hookers or something. You get a lot of dental references in my stuff. Much as I try not to glorify it, that's probably because I've been known to chew sweet dripping fuck out of myself on occasion and would at least like to be allowed to complain about that decidedly unorthodox state of affairs occasionally. The attitude of Whitehouse, Brighter Death Now, Swans and Painslut filtered through the crappy techno pop bleepery of whatever modern toss I'm subconsciously influenced by, I suppose. Right, that's enough bands name-dropped. Just listen to it if you're curious.

Lyrics
Beneath The Trees I tied fresh fates to fund your dreams You beat with slippery energy My blue vibration screened each scream Come back beneath the trees We trip so quickly down these days A silent acid fills your gaze A rain no rhyme could pack away Come back beneath the trees Picking up the pieces of a painted life There’s blood on the horizon And an insect in your eye See the stars crossing to the edge of the night It shouldn’t take an alphabet to compromise Still waiting for the seeds we need to sow the task My line hooked round the future Dragging pictures up the past A body carved from crystal with a head of fucking glass You’re a summer breeze scarling dripping class But wind a little walk down beside my own dawn With those handfuls of ashes And that face full of thorns Read these silver serpents before they’re gone Don’t linger learning levers for this clockwork storm I tied fresh fates to fund your dreams You beat with slippery energy My blue vibration screened each scream Come back beneath the trees We trip so quickly down these days A silent acid fills your gaze A rain no rhyme could pack away Come back beneath the trees The clouds are scudding into savage sky You’re skipping in their shadows And I’m stamped down into time You peel more pretty patterns from the skin of lies But I could never rob you of that butterfly mind I tied fresh fates to fund your dreams You beat with slippery energy My blue vibration screened each scream Come back beneath the trees We trip so quickly down these days A silent acid fills your gaze A rain no rhyme could pack away Come back beneath the trees
