This entire thing, MEDIA, IS, and GOD is perfection. You an brakence are incredible!! ❤️🔥🔥

@gonima has been on the SVNSET WAVES radar for 6 years now, so it is a true, true honor to finally present his new EP, Strands, with you all. The EP features four gorgeously intricate new original tracks from the Montreal-based producer, each fizzling and dissolving into a mesmerizingly complex yet comforting world. I can only imagine that this is what a computer's daydreams might sound like.
In addition to the four original tracks, each song has a coinciding remix. From @heoliene's hypnotizingly clicky minimalism, to @brakence's super-textural glitch pop, @jimkimchi's vast hyper-IDM complexion, and Permutia's (@fltx & @m_y_s_e_l_f) goofy illbient banger this EP truly has something in it for all the glitch heads.
In addition to its digital release, a limited edition cassette will also accompany the release. Be sure to stream the album, support the artists, and pick up a tape. Huge thanks to gonima for making this absolute treasure of a release and being patient through the tedious process, all of the remixers, who gave their beautiful minds and perspectives on these tracks, Jesse Osborne-Lanthier for the perfect artwork, and all of the listeners who chose to make memories with these songs. Love you all!

gonima - Cavern Music (brakence Remix)

Get back 
I don’t want nobody who could make me feel like that 
“Don’t Call”
In your contacts 
You left your prescriptions 
Now you’re coming over, a contradiction 
But really we not new to it 

Last time you was telling me I talk to much about it 
Now you’re telling me to say sum’n?
If it’s not a problem 
You gon make one 
Tryna start it over
Selling page one 

Not coming back
Funny as hell
Hoping you enjoy yourself 
Now you outside screaming 
I don’t need your help
Now you outside 
Hoping you not lost without it 

Baby I don’t wanna be your lover
You don’t really want no love 
Tryna work it out I doubt it 
You not showing out enough 
All we do is, screaming, shouting 
Baby have we danced enough?
You can see it all surrounding 
I just had to beat your punch 

Who that, who you taking me (for)
Bad line, whatchu say to me 
Long nights, she won’t wait for me
Sweet talker, you savory
I can’t keep fighting myself 
I see you crying as well

and I could sit around 
But I’m better than you told me
It ain’t a problem being lonely 
I tow the line with myself 
And cut the ties with you 
I ain’t walking back to this hell 

I was lying whichu 
Told me I’m a bastard
That’s how you felt 
You say you hate getting mad and baby
We couldn’t tell 
You telling me I’m the problem really
You shouldn’t yell
Preeing ya hands at the table baby
That’s show and tell

Who that, who you taking me (for)
Bad line, whatchu say to me 
Long nights, she won’t wait for me
Sweet talker, you savory
I can’t keep fighting myself 
I see you crying as well

i'm back

composition, instrumentation, production all by me and @brakence

[Verse 1]
brakence
It's oversaturated
Lock in adrenaline
I'm so detached and jaded
This shit'll spread me thin

Colliding With Mars
I'm unsteady
Bypassing a firewall
I think I'm running out of options
What I'd give to say I'm not involved
Whatever changes, I remain a target

brakence & Colliding With Mars
And they're telling me "boy, you just gotta let go"
But I just stick to the ceiling like mental velcro
Cause what I thought was an answer was just an echo
I did the deed but my spirit's still in the escrow

Colliding With Mars
El problema siempre es el dinero
Yo quiero sexo en exceso
I want to shed this
Constant, unvaried
Looping hell

[Chorus]
brakence & Colliding With Mars
Fucked up, no luck
I'm in a rut
Stuck, disgusted and I'm

[Verse 2]
Colliding With Mars
I never thought to try (go, go, go-go)
Something to kiss the sky (go, go, go-go)
I'm in a thought loop using dream logic
To solve a math equation in the dark
I'm in the dark
I can't find my way

brakence
You're not my enemy
And from my head to my heart
I just can't hold it back
In the cathedral, torn and imbibed
I'm begging for stretching hands
I had the faith you'll swim through the depths
And pull me from mud to land

Colliding With Mars
Requiem æternam dona ei
Domine, amén

[Chorus]
brakence & Colliding With Mars
Fucked up, no luck
I'm in a rut
Stuck, disgusted and I'm

MEDIA IS GOD (feat. brakence) [7 min. version]

So happy to bring you this absolutely invigorating track from our pal brakence. I was out skating when I was first sent this release and automatically fell in love, especially with firstego. It's such a seamless collage of different styles, unique textures, and gorgeous lyricism. The rest of the album is equally wonderful and if you still don't know about brakence, now's your chance.

brakence in the second round now and i don’t even feel like i need a rest
got a bag of luck, EP next week and i’m unimpressed
at 16 i bought my boo a bouquet
17 years i’ma kill the kit in no saves
i just drop the habits that make my life fucking gray
i’m so jealous of my future i need to pick up the pace like

i don’t wanna change my tone
but i couldn’t do this on my own
and if anybody call my phone
i’m like vegan no beef, we’re crop grown
i don’t even need credit
when I work witcha i’ma get hitched
do my thing then i make connections
no one knows where i’m bout to go

and i’m done staring at the ceiling
with the thought that i’m gon get there one day
just give me answers baby
at least my life is taking shape
cos i’m about to keep that up
scream out my purpose

gimme more time
fuck my inhibition
yall don’t need me you just feed me lies, you’re not forgiven 
we are words high
so i don’t need prescription
do yall bleed, I don’t think you got no nervous system

no one can stop me now
i’m worthless but i got sound

and i know who you are

this nerd will give it to you promise you gon not forget me
got a hunch that you don’t like me but i understand it
first hundred thousand people see my shit they get it
i just bought a vision tryna make sense of you

nerd will give it to you promise you gon not forget it
got a hunch that you don’t like me but that’s all embedded
first hundred thousand people see my shit they get it
I just bought a vision tryna make my sense of you

this nerd will give it to you promise you gon not forget me
got a hunch that you don’t like me but i understand it
first hundred thousand people see my shit they get it
i just bought a vision tryna make sense of you

nerd

looking for a stipend my drive is loaded
i think i can find it the more you know me
i just copped the right to extort my purpose
in an one track climate with no disturbance
all the same witcha you believe you source shit
can’t get your main witcha she don’t need your bullshit
98% of all my flows are stolen
cos the greatest artists are the ones that notice

i get it going no i’m never turning it down
i’m finding my liking i strike indeterminates out and
if i’m all blood i’ll be flooding the tourniquet route
i’m breaking the boundaries i’m faking this tournament out
like why lil techie got a trendy flow
because he reckons that it’d grant your trust
and he’ll be there in a second
a deceiver needs his love

i think i should probably get my will off the carpet
college next year man the clock is alarming
ain’t no excuses no i do not give no pardons
and i’ma shoot a lot so i will hit my target
brakence gonna move straight like a rook, vehement
lead his favor wanna seize the paper like it’s old news: “dead president”
sincere no fake layer even though he out his element
he gotta lotta fear but won’t stop there, only care a little if he relevant 

looking for a stipend my drive is loaded
i think i can find it the more you know me
i just copped the right to extort my purpose

can’t get your main witcha she don’t need your bullshit
98% of all my flows are stolen
cos the greatest artists are the ones that notice

i caught you dreaming
you’re soon to adopt how you find your meaning
i break my ceiling
i’m a lot, head’s hot but the baby freezing
that’s on my hearing
still why would they love me i’m way past my season
for the time being
i will not give a fuck i don’t need no reasons
they said make the best of your carbon print
get your work up do ya want all this baby
you can’t just ponder bliss
your vices control you the common shit baby
gated path look like a hyphen
brakence got talent but he ain’t no item
lazy ass nerd bouta get to his writing
don’t scrape that slack cos he just got a license

what are you tense for
what’s the reason you got manners
what do you stand for
look at me i need an answer
know you a man for them,
give your baby a little gander
why the fuck can’t you advance demands with all these people tryna manage you

this ain’t no message it’s assault in on your senses
find out who you are, and if i ever catch you lacking i’m gonna tell myself i failed

this is nothing
you haven’t seen nothing yet

looking for a stipend my drive is loaded
i think i can find it the more you know me
i just copped the right to extort my purpose

effort

viola by Gloria Hui

if i ever got to leave here by success i wouldn’t wait for you
i’d rather keep our thoughts in checkmate
and i’ve been hurting tryna pull this out my chest
is there another way to say that i won’t talk to you again
i won’t talk to you again

cos i ain’t doing favors
maybe confounded
couldn’t give a fuck about it
i ain’t doing favors
on the way get grounded
stable like mountain
fake your nature
say you changed but i doubt it
put your money where your mouth is
i ain’t doing favors
if longevity is out there
need amenity you out there

just feel no info
you should give me my respect
you ain’t know what you’re in for
not pretty at best
my thought’s in limbo
no law no intro
if you’re talking bout the credo
know i’m coming for the neck

i don’t wanna be provocative
i just ain’t tryna breathe your oxygen
why you going round startin shit
i’ve found that need no argument
you commited cardinal sin
knees weak no sleep we gon drift apart
just mark in it, ain’t no meager feat
but fuck off tryna politic
and chase my goals I can’t date it back
i don’t wait for shit
i ain’t made for that
we got the same flow woa where’d it go
i need to change clothes but still blow it off like a staple fact and I’m gone
then spend all my luck on twitter
know me, found i ain’t the same in winter
but this a marathon and all these fuckboys sprinters
gonna paint a moral high ground that’s a painkiller
you can feed me lies if you’re compelled
i’ma be frank for my health
my sweetheart handsome as well
cos i C both sides like chanel
this an artist’s ocean - my blueprint
say that you ain’t bugging you lucid
ain’t it funny how you can’t prove it
who do I always see running back

i ain’t doing favors
maybe confounded
couldn’t give a fuck about it
i ain’t doing favors
on the way get grounded
stable like mountain
fake your nature
say you changed but i doubt it
put your money where your mouth is
i ain’t doing favors
if longevity is out there
i need amenity, you out here

fuck you, you too basic for a maybe
you lucky if you waitlisted i’m lazy
stuck on a few pages in a daydream
no one’s gonna be able to save me
these days self hatred is motivation
spreads outside me and i’m running out patience
let you lie but but cut you out the equation
never liable when bluffing i never say shit
where’d the mood go
flip the beat like judo
you got that fools gold
say you don’t you do tho
on my feet uh
ain’t no mass appel uh
pity a leader
wouldn’t wanna be you
and I been waiting way too long to be free from you
free from you

I’ll remember this up out the top of my head
no equiquite cos i won’t edit with the thought of a threat
make your bets, this ain’t reddit won’t argue on in no thread
it’s art, taking shots in the dark, beat already dead
couldn’t give less of a fuck what you say
cos i’m a gifted mess and i’m stuck in my ways
everybody want a feature i won’t ask for no pay
a teacher by night preacher by day, but don’t actually pray
i’m that kinda fake
i hold that kinda weight
float leave a passionate wake
i ain’t burning no rubber
i’m back in action been averting stunners since day one
i’ll curve a sucker cos they too basic like A1
and it hurts to say this but don’t call my line
i been done with you since autumn you ain’t worth my time
the fuck does it take get out the matrix and learn your lie
i thought you knew the first time
