Dream Today

Flame

A spiralling journey where metaphysical rodents fight against the erosion of ethics in modern media and the Junkyard of Silenced Poets accidentally invent Acid Strauss music…

"Trademark spy movie guitars and jerking, fluid polyrhythms abound while the piano plays semi-atonal choppy chords and the percussion track involves a variety of unusual noises. There is some classic sixties-influenced jazz-tinged cinematica happening here. Indie Noir perhaps or Alt Noir. It is a fine piece of instrumental exploration either way." -- Neil March (Trust The Doc, Edition 81, June 2023)

The Twice Nice Mice versus The Suppression of Free Agency

MACHINE LOVE

I drew a bar graph

And on the x axis I plotted

Date of birth to date of death

And on the y axis I plotted

Alcohol, nicotine, cocaine and meth

And I was able to extrapolate

A link between the y axis and the second date

I drew a pie chart

To help identify the pressures on my heart

The yellow slice was for people who are not nice

The blue slice was for fast food and egg fried rice

The red slice was for greed for the latest device

The green slice was for my tendency toward verbosity and my inability to be concise

It’s measured out in volts

This is the nuts and this is the bolts

Machine love’s what I’m thinking of

Why do people play at a recital and recite at a play?

Why’s a boxing ring square?

Why does snow fall but rain drops?

Is it double trouble if it comes in threes?

No one ever these days says please

Why’s a pizza circled if the box is square?

Each slice a triangle when you see it there

Why's a W called a double U when it's two V's together?

Why’d you look for a mirror just after crying?

It’s measured out in volts

This is the nuts and this is the bolts

Machine love’s what I’m thinking of

Machine Love

Ellipsis- Return Orbit

dude, benson is gonna be pissed!

lyrics: 

I don’t wanna go out and see a video
I don’t wanna go out and touch a radio
I just wanna stay in fuck the presidio
I just wanna lay low

turned on the news i thought it was a trash fire
Talkin head on the tube he was a fat liar
Social media squeaking like a high wire
I just wanna lay low

Riverwest the people so mental
East side the vibe’s temperamental
Downtown is self-referential
I just wanna lay low

Play a record go wild in the country
Fuck Chapelle man he used to be funny
I got a blunt but I’m all out of money
I just wanna lay low

Let’s go walk in the woods a picking flowers
Gonna cry on the floor in the shower 
Delivery guy says he’ll be here in an hour
I just wanna lay low

Take off your shirt and we’ll wrestle on the sofa
I got a move and I learned it from Jehovah
Call your mom and ask if she’s seen BOFA
I just wanna lay low

I don’t wanna go out and see a video
I don’t wanna go out and touch a radio
I just wanna stay in fuck the presidio
I just wanna lay low

I cry all day but I never took prozac
Tossed a quarter right into your buttcrack
I think I’ll scream if I read another substack
I just wanna lay low

Got the shakes from all the fucking caffeine
House shows the bros are a b-beat scene
It’s the end it’s the end of the Holocene
I just wanna lay low

Band hoodie I’m like yo wassup b
meme account dolls on instagram judge me
All the boys are terrified to touch me
I just wanna lay low

(I Just Wanna) Lay Low

Sour is the second single by minimalist rock duo dhow. In stark contrast to their thunderous debut single If Only to Alight they opted for a more stripped back and somber lofi number to follow.

Sour

I played all the instruments, recorded, produced and sang everything.

headache (demo) Spotify soon/@eupholia__ on IG

Jungle track with a focus on transforming classic rock samples into a fresh modern piece.  This track brings hard grooves with dark chaotic vibes to fill out a room with grit teeth and moving feet.  So this track was originally put together for a beat challenge, but some unexpected travel left me missing the deadline. This might have been the fortunate curse as I really got the chance to wrestle this one around and make it my own at the end of the day.
