@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!

SCRAPYARD II

DUSTCUTTER

i want you cause you're easieeeerrrr than nothing baby

EASIER

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

Brightness of Vega (feat. brakence)

i bend, i fold
i been down this road with you
i know control is all that you wanna do

girl i'm in your town for the night
i can't get enough of you
and it's always gotta be on my time
why you playin like this all i do
girl remember when you told me that night i couldnt change
and i lost my cool
we was bendin for a week straight
247 i put it all on 

you baby 
they couldnt see me up on my worst day
fuck a check ima be doin this till my hearse day
and i spent 12 months in my room, traveling throughout
but aint nobody help me up when i was down and out
 i was good where i am, she tried to put me down
i almost did myself in, needed a solid out
12 months with no tunes to show for it
needed money did bad songs and shows for it

girl i'm in your town for the night
i can't get enough of you
and it's always gotta be on my time
why you playin like this all i do
girl remember when you told me that night i couldnt change
and i lost my cool
we was bendin for a week straight
247 i put it all on

It All Comes Out In The Wash

Whore of the Orient

On conviction .. 

~ Lyrics ~
Close your eyes for a moment
Picture all of the lives you've had
What the fuck were you thinking
Too involved to discuss this yet

If I could have it for a moment
I could only guess at all the
Things I'd take for granted
In the fifty seconds

I would have everything that
I had wanted until then
Oh if I had only seen
Every man I could've been
Would I?

Claw your way into heaven
Oh how beautiful your wings
Oh how difficult the climb
Don't you notice how he bleeds

Yes and you can be like him
Separated from his friends
Scars are covering his hands
Can't even read his fingerprints

Oh thank God
That he risked all he was given
Playing lotteries with tickets
Bought with time and stress and sickness

Oh thank God
That he sacrificed connection
And stability. Reflection
Wouldn't you to be in Heaven?
Wouldn't you?

Too involved to discuss this yet

What the fuck were you thinking
Too involved to discuss this yet

What the fuck were you thinking
Too involved to discuss this yet

Lament

wishyouweredead

you know i think about it way too much 
i just wanna feel my fate like i don't know how to touch you safely 

so what if you're not confident 
you feel that way to me so don’t look for more offerings to bother you with how you’re following a fucking part of you, if opposite at least you got a starting point but it’s hard to do 
this is far from taking mainstage 
i’ll park the car away from over where the cane sprays 
i need an argument for my obnoxious ways i shake state to override my comfort zone, depart it and i’m on pace 
but i don’t need to race 
always say if you need some space, be more safe if you open gates i’ll be waiting to do you favors i swear this in my nature my patience is open acres and i care if you’re faking playfulness 
and my lies all slowly faded, so i cried and then i faced it, i don’t even know my patience, 
i’m not clean 
but i am not waste, i took his ego to the movies that’s a docked case 

you know i think about it way too much 
i just wanna feel my fate like i don't know how to touch you safely 
this isn't pastime 
i got more on my mind, they think i'm crazy 
and i say oh my god i am 
while i take you out of this place i hope i'm not phased 
cos what you want makes me happy
