Tidal (Black Ink Intro)

With your head to the west
and feet toward east
at the foot of my bed
was it of the sun you dreamed
could've been the ocean
or maybe we were 17
I'm certain it's black ink
the only way it's happening
I made an omen
the fever came over me
keep your eyes open
so I can see my dreams
~

The Book of Love (cover)

A remix of "Slasher Flick" excluding various tracks/predominantly featuring the self-oscillating guitar feedback and noise. Central to the song, the noise was made using Death By Audio's Total Sonic Annihilation pedal and aimed to clash with the song's subject matter and Cranberries-esque guitar sound found on the album version of 'Everything Purple'.


Slasher Flick (TSA Mix)

800beloved was a Michigan-based group formed from the writing & production of singer/songwriter, Sean Lynch. The group's moniker, taken from a 1-800 telephone number, hints at the merger between two opposing themes - "800" representing the interest in popular culture's flimsiness while "beloved" alludes to the lyrical use of sacred, often dismal and ironically naive subject matter. 

Having distributed music in many formats, including pill-shaped thumb drives and limited cassette singles before signing with the Moodgadget label in 2008, 800beloved delivered their long awaited debut album 'Bouquet' in CD format on Valentine's Day 2009 at CPop gallery in Detroit. Their second album, 'Everything Purple' was originally released in April 2010 and later pulled from online distribution following Lynch's request to end licensing agreements with Moodgadget. In September 2010, the majority of the group's recordings including both albums were independently re-released in digital audio formats. 

Following Lynch's departure from funeral service, 800beloved released a third and final album 'Some Kind of Distortion' on August 3, 2015. The "band" implemented to play recorded material live performed a final show on August 13, 2016 at Marble Bar in Detroit.
