The Oracle Theme

Immerse yourself in a world where smoke-stained trip-hop meets the heartbeat of modern hip-hop and the velvet glow of soul and R&B. This album drifts between dim-lit alleyways, neon reflections, and midnight drives, blending hypnotic rhythms with warm, human storytelling. Each track is built from deep grooves, atmospheric textures, and vocals that slide between confessions and swagger. It’s music for the thinkers, the wanderers, and the ones who come alive after dark. Press play, sink in, and let the pulse pull you somewhere new.

I Want To Be

Present Tense

[intro]

[instrumental]

[verse]
Is not everything we think
Based on something that we steal
Over long uncounted years
We have constructed what is real

Layer upon layer
One small brick and then another
With reason and then prayer
We have made it fit together

[instrumental]

We use what others do
All the songs and prose they write
and all the art that they create, 
and all the things that critics hate

We read, watch, and listen
Though we may not remember
But we do absorb an essence
In our minds it is a presence

From then on we cannot tell
What is our own and what we borrowed
The question makes no sense
All that matters, 
present tense

[instrumental]

The first words we ever say
From our mothers, some first day
When they teach us how to beg
and teach us how to play

From these words we build it all
We never had control
Our futures pre programmed
All collectors have been scammed

There are no true originals
Only copies upon copies
We can each add our own spin
But can't hide the truth within

[instrumental]

We use what others do
All the songs and prose they write
and all the art that they create, 
and all the things that critics hate

We read, watch, and listen
Though we may not remember
But we do absorb an essence
In our minds it is a presence

From then on we cannot tell
What is our own and what we borrowed
The question makes no sense
All that matters, 
present tense

[instrumental]

One More Year

Heart Attack (with Benjamin Linder O'Neill)

Deftly navigating the confluence of prog rock, livetronica, jazz, & jam, Papadosio’s appeal as a crossover act has amassed a rabid fan base across North America. Thanks to a steady stream of innovative albums, they’ve seen a decade and a half of consistent touring with hundreds of live recordings at the fingertips of every follower. Their allure’s led to co-presenting massive events such as Resonance, Secret Dreams, Summer SEEquence, and Subterranea Festival, plus headline plays at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

From their humble Midwest origins, Papadosio's grassroots operation has grown to overflowing clubs and theaters nationwide, cementing their reputation as a must-see act. Now based in Asheville, NC, the dynamic five-piece features rhythm expert Mike Healy on drums, low end luminary Rob McConnell on bass, multi-instrumentalist brothers Sam & Billy Brouse on keyboard/vocals, and sage producer Anthony Thogmartin on guitar/vocals.

The band remains doggedly devoted to writing new music and pushing technological boundaries in their downtime, expanding the size and scope of their existing catalog live on stage and in the moment. Complex harmonies and challenging rhythms are the lifeblood of each composition, while a stunning visual show synchronized with the music enhances the immersive live experience.

Papadosio offers one-of-a-kind experiences to each attendee. In the band’s 16-year history, no one has heard a song—let alone a set—played the same way twice.
