Our debut full-length album, Instability, comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve, absolutely covered in impossibly gorgeous art created by the talented Abby Lessick (www.instagram.com/abbylessickart), and designed by the brilliant Alex Ellick. Abby has not only covered the entire gatefold in a mural of a city overtaken by nature, but has brought to life individual works of art particular to each song on the record, laid out in a storybook style in a 20 page booklet (piece shown is for Steam). We recommend the album be listened to while following through these artworks.
Includes unlimited streaming of Instability
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
every night, a savage, with no concept of
ordered society (despicable)
appears in my sleep, to tell me lies about inner
peace. (so insulting)
its words still ring in my ears (an irritation)
as I clench my jaw,
and curse its name through my teeth
at the breakfast table.
nothing sacred should roam free…
what rest may I afford myself? (erase it)
so much to accomplish (the hunt),
so little time…
so I MUST cut you out from underneath this
skin…
he finds himself tied down to his lab,
hell bent on genocidal manufacture.
but in the back of his mind, an impure
presence…
a light, forcing him into a daze of distraction.
so he sets out to destroy this creature,
plaguing his purpose with its pleas.
and into the snowy woods he goes
to kill what he doesn’t know,
as the creature’s message slowly slips through
his gears…
peace…
peace within the beast…
treetops sleep (in snow)
birds alight (their boughs)
silence stands (absolute)
dawn’s first light (through haze)
trees awake (in fright)
birds sound cries (of alarm)
silence breaks (pressure builds)
dawn’s first light; an arrow flies!
the machine pursues the beast.
all that’s living flees in haste.
the trees contort in convex
to evade this monstrous chase.
(ever closer)
slowly, connected.
the forest slips away…
“my metal skeleton was built for so much
more
but those bones, how they haunt me…
withered with a thousand years of love lost
and loneliness,
yet I remain the shadow? I must cut you out…”
“what vicious fate, what bitter fortune, to have
left me so exposed,
that in the midst of my pursuit, I’ve fallen,
raptured in repose.
this infernal heart breeds my weakness; I’ve
been stunted by desire.
I must strangle all these sentiments, and feed
them to the fire…”
(red cavern’s sun, it chills the air)
“my drive to banish all my feelings is now
tainted by doubt
and any sense of what I’m meant for is now
twisted inside out
so I’ll let my fear define me! I might not find
another path!
if I exile my emotions… maybe I’ll be whole at
last.”
red cavern’s sun, it chills the air,
as he falters in his precious creed
and charges forth in churning madness,
heedless of his mistakes.
his rage has catalyzed catastrophe,
and the mountain begins to quake.
and as he turns to the crescendo of the
avalanche,
a glimpse of genesis that yields him no relief,
he realizes he has wrought his own destruction
and finally understands the nature of his grief…
and reaches out to the beast.
are we flying?
or are we falling…
bodies meld
souls rejoin
wings emerge
a final transformation
first flight
