    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.

lyrics

seeing death as the end of life…
like seeing the horizon
as the end of the ocean.

“close my eyes and watch it grow”

the only sound… the turning of the masses.
drowned in a mirror, deathless and lithe.
waiting for coffins, helpless, alive!
…signals break the surface,
but a much larger process is in progress…
…I wait anxiously for its arrival.

“arms folded,
watches his cumbrous world eclipse
inane worlds of wind and cloud”

as the mind works to recreate
what the senses have inscribed,
there’s a translation error,
and only a fraction of truth is exhumed.

for what, is made this fated ride?
for whom, do these hands starve and clench?

to be small in the face of true majesty,
yet stand tall in the midst of honest fear…
a battle older than the sun.
a simple choice, but the battle’s never won.

in strangulative certainty,
I’ve become no more than a clever forgery.
my faith begins to crumble…
is there value in my patience?

these eyes ain’t opposed to blue skies,
but I’ll allot my time
for a thousand hours
to dream of sleep at night.

the beauty of wonder
in a wanderlust soul,
searching for a way to feel real…
to be desolate
and shine at the same time.

crimson giants gather at last light,
awestruck at an ancient feeling
that illuminates the sky
from just above the horizon.

the hawk spreads its wings,
ready to fly into the night…
faith in one’s plans only truly tested
with the blackest horizon ahead
