LYRICS
i don’t know who needs to hear this 
sometimes it's good 
to sing your feelings 
and every time 
i open my mouth
hope something halfway 
helpful falls out 

and on the phone
i said it clear 
how could I
ask you dear
to hold the feelings
i don’t want to
when i distract and barely try to?

but here is one thing i am learning 
everyone’s heart burns for something 
and really what i wanted to be 
was everything you weren’t for me

this song is simple
but it ain’t easy
to sing it like it is
believe me 

these days we learn
to hold ourselves 
light your candle 
cast your spell
sing it like it is a prayer 
sing it like no one else is there
sing it like no one can hear you
sing whatever makes it feel new

i don’t know who needs to hear this
sometimes it's good
to sing your feelings
especially when you don’t know
the next line 
or how it goes 

i don’t know who needs to hear this
sometimes it's good
to sing your feelings 

i don’t know who needs to hear this 
i don’t know who needs to hear this 
i don’t know who needs to hear this 
i don’t know who needs to hear this

When talking about the music of Com Truise (one of the many pseudonyms of New Jersey designer/musician Seth Haley), the nostalgia bit inevitably comes up, so let’s get that out of the way. Yes, his songs tap classic sci-fi and proto-electro in a way that is distinctly early eighties in scope. But they’re also remarkably weird—stutter-step proggy and intoxicatingly psychedelic, like those classic touchstones got drunk on lava lamp juice inside a pinball machine. After his well-received Cyanide Sisters EP, a grip of remixes for artists like Twin Shadow, Neon Indian, and, uh, Daft Punk, and a few floating MP3s, Truise’s first LP, Galactic Melt, will finally enter brainspaces this summer.

And what an appropriate title it bears. For a brief moment, opener “Terminal” subsumes you in warm, starry-eyed synth arpeggios, and then down the rabbit hole you go—from the keyed up, skyscraping machine love of “VHS Sex” and “Cathode Girls” to opuses like “Air Cal” and “Ether Drift” that sound like Doogie Howser’s idea of the perfect prom song—mathy, forlorn, funky, and mighty in technical ambition. That they’re all noticeably cinematic is, of course, by design—Haley envisioned Galactic Melt as a “sort of film score…from the mind,” chronicling the lift and death of Com Truise, the world’s first synthetic/robotic astronaut, from his creation and life on earth to his subsequent mission to a newly discovered galaxy called “Wave 1.” Eventually, Truise becomes one with his newfound cosmos, like Pinocchio becoming a real boy, but in the nether regions of imaginary space.

Haley says knowing when and how to complete such an opus was the hardest part of making the record, nevermind all the carefully synth programmed patches on his Sequential Circuits Split-8 or the three years of real life that transpired during its genesis. It’s a world unto itself, a sci-fi bildungsroman of sorts, and most importantly, an awesome escape from the corporeal.
