SHADOWS

Primer is the alias and creative project of vocalist/producer Alyssa Midcalf.

With her debut album, Novelty, Midcalf showcases her skills as both a vocalist and songwriter. The sound of the album, which was composed heavily on a Roland Juno synthesizer, is characterized by driving drum beats, sub-heavy bass lines and shimmering synth leads. Midcalf’s vocals are airy yet dynamic, binding her songs together with a reverberating surrealism. To see these elements on full display, look no further than her haunting cover of The Beach Boys song Til I Die. 

Partly inspired by the indie time travel film of the same name, Midcalf says she was also drawn to the sense of futurism the word Primer invokes. This is fitting with the tone of her debut album, which brings to mind images of a dystopian disco. 
 
Midcalf, who gained some attention as one half of the duo Parts, made her introduction as Primer with the single Anesthetized, released on YHS Records in 2018. Her full album, Novelty, is set to be released on YHS Records in early 2019.

The Outer Edge

Written and recorded February 28th, 2019 independently by Triumphant Race. From upcoming album "I Call On The Dead" : https://triumphantrace.bandcamp.com/album/i-call-on-the-dead

Lyrics: 
Given to the times,
stripped of all design,
and nothing seems to come from you.

Sentenced to die, 
by the state,
sentenced to die,
so lets dance the night away

Nothing left to give,
silenced into chaos,
and nothing seems to come from you.

Sentenced To Die

PARI

2nd single from upcoming album. 
"There´s wisdom inaccesible to the intellect. You can only reach it through surrender, being nothing."
