Now playing: Version A2（1st Take)

WHO ARE SHELLF LIFE? They are as exlusive as evasive and have never coveted the limelight. SHELLF LIFE are a musician's band, if there ever was one. It is a rare occassion to have the opportunity to hear them perform. Now, VU METRICS has managed to engage three of their members in an interview. Actually, it is the only public interview we know of, apart from some unverified appearances on the darknet. To call this interview E X C L U S I V E, therefore, would be an understatement of bluntest kind.

The full interview, revealing some of SHELLF LIFE's strangest quirks will be available on the Furico Music Team's blog:

Production notes on former iterations of Vermillion Syncretism: https://furicomusicteam.blogspot.com/p/vermilion-syncretism.html

lyrics (copyright jo richter):

first-class wormhole
from boston to berlin
new kids on the old dole
vuitton vermillion

where are the tigers
on the swank, sunlit border
sunflower hiker
first drink, second order

syncretic synthetics
wormwood for banshees
three musketeer flicks
david bowie four-d

galapagos penguins
freezing the stations
inflatable ice rinks
legal hibernation

[*There are five versions of this iteration of Vermillion Syncretism. It can not be guaranteed that you will hear the same version for longer than a few weeks at a time. The lyrics, though, will remain the same.]

SHELLF LIFE - Vermillion Syncretism (1st Take)

In the passion of the doggie
I told him to spread his cheeks
long arms reached mine. 
Machete wielding
cinnamon bun bandit notorious
caught mid snack. 

Killed while scuba diving
Atlanta bagpiper lost
music and silence
His son who vanished, 
four years gone without a trace
found dead the same day.

Police chief in office, 
defecates, viagra, weed.
doesn't get fired. 
A Bigfoot sighting
a woman's life changed better
lawsuit now pending. 

A conclusion reached, 
ideology unknown 
possibilities linger.
Maybe conscripted
low profile head low eyes down
all things are but plugs. 

Smacking his big boy 
electromagnetic waves
signal familiar. 
The thickening of thighs
anime girls have them more 
recession the cause. 

Burgers, one dollar
Must be made of shark dick
ladybug pussy.
Deodorant gel 
a barometer makeshift
high pressure oozing.

An urgent email;
Stop throwing foreskin 
in sharps container.
A tiny insect 
the loudest creature on earth
penis music rules.

Sanatorium

From the album “Newer Unknown Breeds”

https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/newer-unknown-breeds-expanded-edition

Newer Unknown Breeds was at the time a further development in sound for Blink Twice. The album expanded on the techno and electro genre much more than Blink Twice's debut "Other Locations". There was an increase usage of sampling on this collection of material, often with looped effects incorporated to add further density. With the blend of tribal and industrial elements remaining, it serves as an adventurous concoction of experimental rhythmic and darker ambient electronic music.

The underlying theme of "Newer Unknown Breeds" was the observance of mutations (both deliberate and natural) within organisms. Evolutionary results of obscure creatures and their advancement and place in the biological field.

... and when he found that he was bound
and finially did detect
the binding of his storybook's
superego infancy
and contemplated all his days and nights
and the fire in the pit, and how guitar strings sing
and swing back to all the songs they ever played
while his loyal self was off to work
to pay the rent and make a dent in debts incurred along the way
when they came due with each and every breath

oh desert mind, oh lemon heart
we should have taught the children from the start
and yes the moon was right
from the very first beginning , and every night since then
filled with our voices singing NOT
but sleeping longing in the dawning
of sentience and yearning
for the comforts of the twilight
and those bridges left behind
brightly burning in the dark

evinsturim

Set en vivo grabado en una toma directa, construido a partir de patrones mentales y texturas hipnóticas. Empieza con una intención dub techno espesa, pero muta hacia un territorio más crudo, experimental y mental.
Ritmos filtrados y bajos modulantes ejecutados con Electribe 2 Sampler, Volca Bass y dos Korg NTS, en sincronía caótica.
Este set es un viaje introspectivo, donde el pulso maquinal se diluye en el humo de la repetición.

-----

Live set recorded in a single take, built from mental patterns and hypnotic textures.
It begins with a dense dub techno intention, then drifts into a rawer, more experimental and mental territory.
Filtered rhythms and modulated basslines executed with an Electribe 2 Sampler, Volca Bass, and two Korg NTS units in chaotic sync.
This set is an introspective journey, where the mechanical pulse dissolves into the haze of repetition.

Trust
noun
Firm belief in the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing; confidence or reliance.
"trying to gain our clients' trust; taking it on trust that our friend is telling the truth."
The condition and resulting obligation of having confidence placed in one.
"violated a public trust."
One in which confidence is placed.
- The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

Once broken, trust is often irreparable...
We place our trust in a corrupt society / government / people / technology
(Thus becoming the guinea pigs of behavioural engineering / manipulation)
We are gaslit
Being lied to is normal
We are programmed to believe that we are weak / not enough
We are taught to seek outside ourselves
We are whittled away / divided / disengaged / enslaved
We choose to give our power away due to fear

We allow this

Ignorance is not an excuse

Rise up
Claim your power
Find / know yourself
Reject the narrative
Pain is power
Don't run from it
You are the creator of your experiences
You need nothing but faith in yourself
In you are all things
All possibilities
Be real
At any cost
The cost of illusion is lament
Be a true and trustworthy human being
The rewards are beyond description
🖤
Do you trust yourself
To live an authentic life? 

Blind Trust

Opium Verses from the Western Wind

Bambino: One shop destroyed. Three heads split like overripe melons. One man wounded and one castrated. All in two hours. Just two hours I left you alone. Two hours.
Trinity: Well, you asked me to give you a hand.
