This song is about the need to experience things for yourself instead of relying on hearsay and assumptions. And also, tigers.

I’ve been told this one is “classic Color Theory,” whatever that means.

WHERE TIGERS ARE SAID TO ROAM
©2024 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

They say that tigers roam free
In these lands
You wonder how that could be
When you’ve never seen one
Legends of mist-covered hills
Perilous thrills

The mighty roar
The savage gore
Rumors and idle folklore
Map out a route
Remove all doubt
Only one way to know for sure
Set out for the great unknown
Where tigers are said to roam

Don’t be content to rely
On hearsay
To confirm what you deny
Explore every region
Seek out the cat in its den
Time and again

It may be dangerous
Who knows what you might find
Embrace the wilderness
The courage to face
The nature of your own mind

You must do this on your own
Set out for the great unknown
Where tigers are said to roam

People seemed to like our recent single “The Curve,” so we’re back with a 4-track EP which closes with “Follow Your Own Fire.” It harkens back to the classic synthie-pop sounds of the 2000s from bands like Camouflage, De/Vision, and Wolfsheim.

FOLLOW YOUR OWN FIRE

The wisdom of ages  
Carved in my mind  
Will help you satisfy  
Your questioning tongue  
I hope you'll find the  
Answers you seek  
And believe me I know  
That nothing is wrong  

Lay down your head  
On the pillow of my bones  
Take a deep breath  
And close your beautiful eyes  
My whispers in your  
Subconsciousness will  
Help you escape  
The dark side of life  

The eclipse of your shadow  
Is fading away  
But try to hold back  
The demon you hide inside  
Torturous images  
Darken your mind  
But fight your way back  
Into the light  

Follow your own fire  
Face the consequences and  
Listen to what I say  
Follow your own fire  
Leave your memories behind  
And follow your own way back  

Face the mirror and  
Try to redeem yourself again  
And vanish into  
Where the world has no end  
Try hard to love  
The reflection that you see in there  
You're not alone  
So don't try to pretend

Noah's Children

Cloud Without Tear

Made this up as it happened it was fun it probably won’t happen again

JAZZHOP 3

Spring in Bloom

Wait For Nothing

Grafenberg’s debut full-length No Saints, No Proof is a hallucinatory collision of Anatolian psychedelia, dark electronic ritual, and surf-noir energy.
Ten tracks unravel like a midnight drive through shifting mirages: fuzz-saturated strings, trembling synths, hypnotic motorik drums, and a deep female voice bending between whispers and fire.

It is an album about memory and resistance — how glitches, ghosts, and fractured signals can become sacred. Ritual mantras (“Order Eats the Sun”, “Loom of Wires”) sit alongside spectral ballads (“Tape Ghost Mirage”, “VHS Desert Prayer”) and driving nocturnal anthems (“Motor Moon Communion”).

The sound is tactile, imperfect, and alive: warm compression, tape-delay halos, lo-fi grain.
For listeners of Gaye Su Akyol, Altın Gün, Tame Impala, and anyone seeking a darker, cinematic edge to psychedelic electronic music.

You are like Gravity in my Soul when I love you

Gravity

The lights fall soft on her silvered hair,
A shimmer caught in the midnight air.

Her laughter drifts through the crowded room,
And every note cuts through the gloom.

And though the music pulls her near,
Her eyes find mine — I disappear.

The years between us melt away,
When she looks — when she looks my way.

She’s not the girl I met back then,
She’s more — she’s love, she’s life again.

I sit and watch, a silent prayer,
To keep her dancing, keep her there.

And though she twirls with someone new,
Her heart still whispers, “I see you.”

And in her glance, I see it clear —
The same young love that brought me here.

The night folds close, the lights grow dim,
But her gaze still pulls me back to then.

She turns once more — her eyes, they say,
“I’m yours, always… when I look your way.”


When She Looks My Way

Somehow I never outgrew the 80s.
