Knomad Spock is delighted to announce the release of his sumptuous new single ‘Egypt’ which is out now, giving the second taste of his sublime and ambitious forthcoming debut album scheduled for release in 2021.

Commenting on the single, KS says: “Egypt is a rework of an earlier song recorded at the Warren with Stew (Baxter, LIFE) almost a decade ago. The riff that plays throughout links both songs, but the vocal harmony, lyrics and arrangement have been brewing in the years since. The burst into free jazz belongs to producer Jamie Smith's vision, and this track is a classic example of our creative partnership and the dynamics we both bring. The song is an elemental response to depression in both lyrical and musical dimensions.”

“In these very brief and succinct lyrics is also an extended metaphor for the creative process that produced this album, which was always concerned with the means—the end was the unconscious gift.”

Statistic Vandals

Moss was one of those songs that poured out over the span of twenty minutes via a sudden rush of inspiration, and then was recorded on the same day. During our time spent living on Vancouver Island, Sara was visiting home in Toronto for a week but I decided to stay back and write. I was alone on the other side of the country in the middle of the pandemic and had absolutely nobody I knew there (we moved there during the pandemic, so naturally we had zero friends). Just me, my instruments, and two cats. I quickly realized how uncomfortable it was to spend time in complete solitude without the distraction of the internet or some other digital convenience of the modern world. I wrote and recorded Moss on the second day of that week, and spent the rest of the week trying to meditate and appreciate the solitude rather than distract myself from it. 

Drums performed by Gudino Miranda.

______________________________________________________________
Take a long hard look at everything you’re feeling alone
Like the moss on wood, maybe we just need it to grow

Set your focus on the wind
The sunset and stillness within

Do you feel it now, rushing on
Do you hear the luscious tones
Of the moment’s song
And the morning’s calm

Then the somber glow returns as you’re reading the phone
You hold the blue midnight sun in your room
Fool your circadian [rhythm], the morning has come

Though it’s dark outside, your racing mind
Thinks that it’s time to get up and go

Can you feel it now, there’s nothing on
You’re caught in the dial tone 
Waiting to be rung
But the moment’s gone
You missed the moment, gone
Yeah the moment’s gone

BACK AT IT

Adrenalina

Adrenalina (feat. Zahara)

It's finally here, thank you all for waiting.

Everything produced by me and these people below:
Vision4k: vocals, guitars, synthesizers, bass, drums, and programming
Leon English: backing vocals, synthesizers, bass
Demxntia: backing vocals
Fish: synthesizers
Glasear: synthesizers
Justus: guitar
Sirune: violins

the coldest room, the warmest tomb 
the saddest place on earth I knew 
the roughest heart, the toughest part
is going and leaving you for now

across the path, there’s a fading face 
its yours or mine, a lie
cause inside the tides i feel the undertow
I feel so low, I feel hollow

So tell me am I the one, or it’s the same old story, I’m not going near 
so tell me are you the one, cause I'll tell you sorry, all make you mine in the afterlife 

I call to the moon, I’m waiting for you
until the night crawls I can’t move my limbs
my skins growing thin, my heads in the dirt
im rotting in

and it never can end, and it never can turn around again
I think I’ll just pretend, I think I’ll just pretend that you’re in my head

so tell me are you the one, I’ve given myself up to the dark, because I’m looking for you
tell me am I the one, I’m turning away from all of the light because I’m looking for you

Skeletons (Afterlife)

MY BOX OF SHIT, I WISH I COULD TELL YOU WHATS IN IT. BUT, IT'D MEAN NOHING TO YOU, SO LET JUST IT ROLL OVER YOU. I HOPE IT REMINDS YOU THAT YOU DON'T NEED ANYONE BUT YOURSELF IN THE STRANGE WORLD TO PULL YOU THROUGH XX

BOX OF SHIT

featuring @4catsncoffee on violin
:
Sometimes it takes courage to forget your past and just run... 
ely sky is a guitar-based alternative folk tune with southern gothic echoes. The second tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville
:
--------------------lyrics

Never enough to know
that fireworks don't always explode
40 days have passed us by
Left smoldering glowing skies

no one knows your early story...

Blessed be the creaking stair
warning you of all that you fear
Heavy breath and humid air  
that swallows angels' dusty prayers

No one knows your early story…
heard it through the open window
whispers in the form of curses

Floating on the Ely Sky
Beneath our backs dark water flows
Million stars and northern lights
witness your secret undertow 

No one knows your early story…
heard it through the broken window
whispers in the form of curses

…already gone 

Will you promise me just this:
steal the dollars hidden under

First you walk and then you run
turn to dust your father figure

Steal away on the midnight bus
connect the dots across the water

Save yourself and only you
One last eye to the Ely Sky…

d'ville

author's notes:
ngl i've been super miserable recently but making music and expressing myself through songwriting gives me so much fulfillment. it's hard trying to keep yourself calm and focused when so much of your past haunts you. i never really understood what it meant to have 'voices in your head' but this past year they were really loud. it's thanks to u guys that i'm still able to do what i love and everyday i find new comments supporting me and it's just amazing. all of u truly bring joy and happiness to my life and it's because of all of u that i'm still excited to see what the new year brings. i'm very grateful to all of u and i hope u guys keep sticking with me through this journey. xoxo omegalul

[//lyrics:]

i just wanna know why you're still like this
your eyes still feels so timeless
floating like stars when we lay just like this
like we did long ago

oh i miss you so bad
singing songs up all night
all your friends hate my name
we had something alright
under lamps on the street
under stars in the sky
i dont wanna remember
but i see you online
when you held my hand
and you looked into my eyes
when i fell into your grip
and you showed me you were mine
i was lost, you were there
couldn't show that i cared
so i lost you
so i lost you

oh the moonlight bounces right off your skin
oh your whispers still linger all over my head
you're the night sky
you're the cold breeze
you're the whole damn vibe
yeah you make me feel alive
your right now is all i need
coz i know theres no forever
we don't talk anymore
but i know you still remember
the promise that you made with mee
oh we dont have to stay
let's go and run away

[//end//]
