09.11.10 | Forgot to post lyrics:
We were dragged through the snow by the hair with upset stomachs and ice for eyelashes. Through miles of suburban jungle we were forced to trek. And I assume we gave up along the way, because faith used to drip from our tongues like honey, and then I didn't see any point. Honey was too sweet to exist. So in the forest I dwelled while algorithms of murder and crass spilt from the lips of my captors - I became infected by their words and enamored by their trust. Disgust was really what it was. I planned to keep in touch, but there was again, no point.
In the moonlit sky, centuries of stars began to collide and we planned. Screeching, we broke free of the chains which bound us to our fears and bade farewell to heartache and its bribes. With futility my comrade and my neighbors my enemies, we bolted for Opportunity's Entrance, but still I wondered what was the gain for this loss. I have heard stories of abandonment and recluses and I have heard of individuality, but when would my eyes focus on the line and not the blur?
Time did not answer any questions. It kept us in a house of brick, and it told us no lies. It did not have to, for it penetrated our ears and slithered up canals to our minds and distorted what was and was not truth. We had escaped one lie but fell for another. I didn't see any point. Blinded by heartache he scanned the plain for ways out of the hovel. I only followed along reluctantly. Together we fled, but alone I walked around the old trees and the cottages and the wheat fields and all of that. And I never saw a point to it till I sat in that room near my squire and my desire. Here I realized that suffocation was futile and regarding valuable things as pointless was just as pointless as the things I regarded.
I had escaped one sadness and entered another - her name, Apathy. She was sly and silent, pale white like snow, and of course as careless as a drunken sparrow. On her shoulder lay the gilded viola, split strings, split hairs invisible. Surprised I could half-walk and half-turn in the grassy meadow. Her embrace kept me cold like the French Cavalry. Her shoulder was the only bone she cared about anyway. And so she clawed into my heart messages of misanthropy and gravely nonchalance - exponential independence times a cubic five. "Round your little numerals, put ‘em in piles and swing through the motions. Be taken advantage of like wisping daffodils in the wind." Her breath was cold and paralytic - infecting both mind and muscle - it left me broken and senile.

fromtheinside

Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Damon you might like this |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | It's probably from somewhere in Penn. since that's where Mappy's from. |
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | Dat ambient B4k. Looking forward to this. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | It's the first Unfathoms release I feel really confident about. |
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | Liking this so far. Also love the influences. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | What's your favorite part about it so far? |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Cool man tell me how it goes. |
Lakes
09.11.10 | gtg b4k, see ya |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | k |
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | "What's your favorite part about it so far?"
Ambience and noise
So far, I've only heard Blasphymartyr's part. Currently hearing "...And Harmony Escapes" and I love
it. Sounds like something Toby Driver would make.
Definitely need to hear this again when I'm in bed with my iPod. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | That's strange. The unfathoms side comes first. |
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | My iTunes has it the other way around. "Disharmonious Latitude" being the first track, and "Tales of the Astral Plane Chapter Two - Insomniac 004 - Desperation and Loneliness" being the last. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | That's way wrong. It goes the first two Astral Plane tracks and then the Blasphymartyr side. |
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | My iPod will probably have it right. iTunes also fucks up the order of the Dark Was The Night compilation, but it's correct on my Ipod. Anyway, I'm up to Unfathoms, and so far it's pretty good. |
Slum
09.11.10 | I bet it's really good |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Tracklisting goes:
Astral Plane 1
Astral Plane 2
Disharmonious Latitude
...And Harmony Escapes
Hello Longitude (Erik)
Benadryl Blah blah
Slum I know you've 1'd everything by me but this may get a 3.5 from you I have a feeling. |
Slum
09.11.10 | OKayyyyyy i'll give it a try then |
Slum
09.11.10 | I swear to god if this is scat |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Yeah I can understand the dislike for my other albums but this one's so accessible and not pretentious (not too pretentious) so I mean... whatever. |
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | Yeah, track listing is totally off on my iTunes and iPod, but it still flows great. |
combustion07
09.11.10 | Yeah the tracklist is messed up for me too. Still loved it though, I'll post a link to the blog post when I finish |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Kk. Does anyone else feel like Astral Plane 1 feels like an old '40s-era movie? I've been told that a lot. |
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | It got somewhat fixed after I renamed it Unfathoms and Blasphymartyr under artists, although Blasphymarty is still somewhat messed up. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Stupid. Fucking mediafire.
Ah well it's been addressed now so...
|
SoapySoap
09.11.10 | Is Astral Plane I supposed to "stutter" like that at the end, cause I thought that was pretty awesome. |
Schizophrenik
09.11.10 | "ambient/post-rock/lo-fi '40s silent film soundtrack reminisce"
awesome. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Soapy, yes it is.
Thank you Schizo.
Chambered, keep waiting. Your opinion will soon change. |
Slum
09.11.10 | Did you write these lyrics or pull them from something else? |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | I wrote these lyrics, Nevin. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Thank you Chambered. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Won't mappy just love your soundoff, chambered? |

Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Thanks brah. It's so weird seeing blogs you contribute to in those other related blogs ("our friends") lists |
combustion07
09.11.10 | Oh I don't actually contribute to those blogs that is just a list of blogs I like. The only things I do (internet wise) is my blog and tsawebzine. |
Slum
09.11.10 | Good job, it's between a 2.5 and a 3 |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Any advice? |
Slum
09.11.10 | Get rid of witchxrapist and add more to your music than just low hums for minutes at a time |
Slum
09.11.10 | Okay witchxrapist's parts weren't that bad but they were very boring |
combustion07
09.11.10 | I thought both parts were about equal. It's between a 3.5 and 4 for me. It definitely is something you have to be in the mood to listen to though, luckily tonight I was in the mood for something like this. I'll give it a few more listens over the next couple of days. |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Well considering my side was about lucid dreaming and how sleep fosters illusions, it was supposed to sound almost like it was yawning if you catch my drift. I thought that bridging the gap between the sleepy tracks and mappy's (which were supposed to wake you the fuck up) was the hard part but yeah this was easily the most fun and difficult release I've done and mappy was part of that.
Perhaps our split will be better, Chambered?
On the other hand I love the way that Mappy's tracks resemble drug trips - the slow rise and then the full-blown balls to the wall crazy high and then the afterglow. |

09.11.10 | "On the other hand I love the way that Mappy's tracks resemble drug trips - the slow rise and then the full-blown balls to the wall crazy high and then the afterglow"
Agreed 100% |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | you should review this |
Slum
09.11.10 | I was thinking about reviewing it actually |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Go ahead. |
combustion07
09.11.10 | Who me? I might give it a try, I've never tried to review anything like this before. |
Slum
09.11.10 | And yeah the beginning of witch's part scared the fuck out of me, so if that was the intention, bravo |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | I was like, well if they're expecting it it's like wtf. But if they aren't it's fucking pandemonium. |
Counterfeit
09.11.10 | fuck yes, bitchxrapist is finally here |
Bitchfork
09.11.10 | Yeah it is. |
Bitchfork
10.09.10 | Bumpin it up |
