Description: A little Clan of Xymox, a little Chameleons, in a post Kevin Shields world...

So this song is over a year old and is the most recent thing I've recorded.  Kinda reminds me of Underworld's Dirty Epic but with some Bryan Ferry-esque vocals.  Narcissism...it's not just for sociopaths anymore.

Dereck Padden - Burning Horizons

I like to think that this song is what you'd get if New Order, MBV, and Trent Reznor woke up in a really awkward haze... This track started out as a programmed drum track which my friend composed, which I then modified and built a song around.

Objectified

ok. now we're getting into old territory.  This song is a weird electro/flamenco-brit hybrid.  I actually think this song showcases some of my best songwriting, but I went a little nuts on the production during the interlude/bridge/whatever

To Relent This Contention (EP mix)

This one is covered in cobwebs...and spanish influenced guitar... But I suppose Robert Smith already beat me to the punch on that combination... oh well

Speculation (EP mix v2)

Suede, T. Rex...and...at the Drive-In?  whatever.  The lyrics are pretentiously indulgent...embarrassingly so

Tragically Trivial

This is the oldest track on here.  Yet the song is EVEN OLDER... I originally wrote the key guitar riffs over a decade ago after I first bought the Cure's "Head on the Door" and had just heard Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration" after having abandoned thrash metal as my main squeeze.  The result is suprisingly garage-y.  This track still remains one of my favorites. I love the simplicity of the main chord progression.
