NUTT

The second single from my upcoming album The Comfortable Dark, available July 23rd on all platforms.

Lyrics:

Who are you?
Who are you tryna fool?
Who am I? Gotta tell a guy the truth

What are we? What are we tryna do?
In a dream we confuse ourselves

I believe that belief is a ruse
And I think—when you think
You diffuse what you seek from your views
You don't mean to dilute but you do
Sue me

This disease is a weakness of choosing
Not a bug. It's a feature to do it
And I trust in the sequence of stupor
My cup isn't clean when it's too full
Lets just be truthful

In the heat of the moment
We believe we can see to the future
And the past is a weight on our shoulders
Our brain cannot hold us
It's pulling me

It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me down

It's offing me awfully often
My thoughts are impossible
Stop me if this sounds familiar
My will is unstoppable (unstoppable)
My awesomeness stems from desire for competency

That has a consequence
Knowledge is not the cure-all that it's thought to be
I am your novelty
I am your god and your prophecy
Stop calling me

It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
I can't keep going like this

Hear the Album!

ALDEN GROVES - Baptize

This song is pretty straightforward. It's about a love I shared with somebody deeply important to me, and the push and pull of that. I tried to capture the intensity of how I felt as well as the complexity of the emotions. This is a very important song to me and I'm happy to finally be able to share it.

The Comfortable Dark is an album that has formed throughout the past few years, during which time I battled homelessness, became diagnosed with Bipolar II, and dealt with stresses so intense that I had seizures at work or at home, unable to move for hours at a time. My past experiences with the music industry have been hamstrung by my life circumstances, but this time it'll be different.

ALDEN GROVES - Parallel Soul

Here's my entry into Savant's remix competition, and my take on the tune "How I Roll"

I decided to take this one in a new direction, giving it a 110BPM Moombahton bounce with some neuro instrumentation. I also re-recorded the whole vocal section, singing my own takes to give the song a bit of my own vocal flair. Cheers for listening, and enjoy!

[5/14/14] :
Thanks to everybody for helping me win the Community Pick in the Savant remix competition! The support has been tremendous, and it means more than words could ever express. Much love!

I won. Yay!

The title of the album is based on a feeling I believe all artists experience. Whenever I'm working on music (or anything for that matter) I'm always trying to chase an idea I have in my head and present it in reality where it can be observed, quantified and appreciated, only to realise that my idea or vision is too extreme or disproportionate to my skill set, leaving me constantly in a state of abandoning my art at a point where it can be classed as 'complete I guess' and settle for mediocrity.

TLDR: Art is never finished, only abandoned. We all settle for mediocrity.

Evoke - Alone [EDM.com Premiere]

Track 05 from my Withdrawal LP, out now on SectionZ Records

Lyrics:

You brace yourself for the reverie
Erase yourself from the memory
Embrace yourself then give it all to me
Replace yourself you'll be the death of me

You take yourself out of reality
Berate your self with your mentality  
Equate yourself with what you wanna be
You hate yourself; it doesn't mean a thing

I was younger then
You wouldn't understand

And I'll stop hoping 
And I'll stop holding on
And I'm not broken up a bit 
I swear to god I swear to god

I'll take my chances for now
I'll stay alive with no way out
I'll brace myself for reality
Replace yourself you'll be the death of me

I was younger then
You wouldn't understand

And I'll stop hoping 
And I'll stop holding on
And I'm not broken up a bit 
I swear to god I swear to god

I was younger then
You wouldn't understand

Zedd - Papercut (feat. Troye Sivan) [Grey Remix]

https://evokehop.bandcamp.com/track/opus-lazuli

Not too long ago, somebody who I trusted and respected turned on me, and completely alienated and isolated me. I opened myself up to somebody who I believed I could love, and the wounds they inflicted upon me become that much more painful as a result. It took a long time before I realized that it wasn't my fault. Self doubt and sadness haunted me for months, but the pain has enlightened me in ways I would never have expected. 

This song is about my newfound perspective, looking back at a relationship that once had a potential to be amazing, and which turned cold and sour without warning. It's about sorting through all my naivety with a discerning eye, and picking apart all the pretty lies I used to tell myself in an effort to maintain sanity. Most importantly, it's about burning a bridge to a place I know I never need to go again. There is nothing wrong with breaking ties with truly toxic people, regardless of what they may have meant to you in the past. 

Letting go of responsibility for others is hard, but extremely important. We need to be able to admit when other people have wronged us, and to be free from the self doubt that arises when we are hurt. It is not your obligation to save or coddle the people you love, even if it hurts to know you can't save them. It is not your fault that some people will never truly appreciate you. Even if you admit this, it may not stop you from trying to fix them, or from trying to fix yourself to appease them. 

If you relate to this, find it within yourself to let your past stay in the past, and to admit when you're sacrificing yourself for somebody who wouldn't do the same for you. Break ties if you need to. Burn bridges if you have to. Life is too beautiful to spend time dwelling on people you can't change. You're better than that. I promise. 

With all of these experiences behind me, I can confidently say: I will not make the same mistakes again.

Lyrics: 

I'm banking on a total change of plan 
The ground's breaking but I won't let go of who I am 
You start shaking like you know what's about to happen 
And I know what I need to say 
But I can't seem to form the sentences 

So I'm taking all the letters that you sent 
All your sentiments and your photographs and gifts 
Into the backyard with a match 
And a bottle of gin that they'll be drowning in 
Before they burn to death 

We're too far gone 
And I'm burning all the evidence 
It's not enough 
I don't know what could make you think that it was 
I'm not your savior 
But it doesn't mean I won't try tonight 
Not to make the same mistakes again 

I'm learning what it's like–what it's like to live 
I'm burning with a fire that won't forgive 
All your sentiments and your photographs and gifts 
They turn to ashes in the wind 

We're too far gone 
And I'm burning all the evidence 
It's not enough 
I don't know what could make you think that it was 
I'm not your savior 
But it doesn't mean I won't try tonight 
Not to make the same mistakes again 

We'll burn 
We'll burn 
It will burn 
We'll burn forever 

We're too far gone 
And I'm burning all the evidence 
It's not enough 
I don't know what could make you think that it was 
I'm not your savior 
But it doesn't mean I won't try tonight 
Not to make the same mistakes again

This one has been kicking around for a while now. Thought I'd give you all a chance to check it out.
I love you.

EVOKE - Alter Echo

You are my tesseract
Each hour in my day
Every frame, for a second
Two years, or a lifetime
Two octaves
Each and every key therein
I know not what I do
But I do it all on your behalf
Thank you for listening
--- --- --- --- 
Lyrics:

Twenty four more
Twenty four more
Twenty four more
My body is a beacon of contagion
My body is a beacon
Oh, I’ll fade
I’ll fall; I’ll fade
I’ll run; oh yeah
Twenty four more

They gotta clean the cages
Everybody out for an age or two
Look at all that I made for you
Wash your dirty faces
Like a plaintive sabertooth
Don’t complain if it ain’t the truth

Alright; all rise. 
I’ll wade
Twenty four more steps closer to the grave
Oh, I’ll fall; I’ll run
Twenty four more steps closer to the sun

Clash on, clash on
Pain with the pleasure tacked on
Pastiche of a day long gone
C’est la vie; I’ve got a fatal weakness
I’ve been flayed to pieces
Warm waves will invade the beaches
Okay, okay, okay

Alright; all rise. 
I’ll wade
Twenty four more steps closer to the grave
Oh, I’ll fall; I’ll run
Twenty four more steps closer to the sun

Twenty four more
Twenty four more
Twenty four more

And my body isn’t. 
Didn’t wanna
And I got it, now I’m getting it
And my body isn’t
Nobody
I’m a failure at sail in a maelstrom
And a body isn’t
Didn’t wanna
I'm a tool or a fool or an idiot
But that body isn’t
Nobody
But I don’t know me like you do

Alright; all rise. 
I’ll wade
Twenty four more steps closer to the grave
Oh, I’ll fall; I’ll run
Twenty four more steps closer to the sun

EVOKE - XXIV

When I first wrote this song, I was living in my friend’s grandparents’ basement, and only owned what would fit in my car. I had no job, almost no money, and the only remaining possessions I really had were studio equipment. Nonetheless, I found time to record when nobody else was home, and kept producing and writing music whenever I could. 

Vertigo embodies the mentality I tried to maintain throughout that difficult period of my life. I had to buckle down and give everything I had. I got a job, started making money, and—with a ton of support from my friends—I managed to get out of the rut and stabilize myself enough to finish the record and start to really take care of myself. Now that FOOL // savior is about to release nearly 4 years after I wrote Vertigo, it feels more relevant than ever. No matter what life throws at me, I will not give up on what I believe in, and this album is the living testament to that fact. 

We're told a lot of things by society about how best to live our lives, and many of these messages are toxic or demeaning. Consumerism and corporate interests constantly put us down or try to manipulate us into believing certain things about ourselves, regardless of the harm or dishonesty of their claims. 

If one is going to truly be motivated, one has to really accept the existence of this harsh negative atmosphere, and learn to breathe in spite of the toxins. We can't persevere if we can't even acknowledge what we're fighting against. I wanted the lyrics to embody the spirit of the toxic aspects of our modern culture, because I think it's more meaningful to keep fighting with a keen understanding of where we are a society. 

You are and will always be enough, no matter what the adverts tell you. 

I'm undeserving of a purpose, but I will battle 'til I'm burning up.

FOOL // savior

Evoke - Vertigo

[verse] 
Last night was a failure 
Deep down in a pungent chamber 
I awake to the thought that I’m losing sleep 
Great… 

And I can’t remember 
How I came to depend on a savior 
Or why I let it get to me 
OK 

Divide into fractions 
Conversations dry like the rations 
A little salt goes a long way 
It’ll all be OK 

Each verse is a lie of omission 
In the dirt in the fetal position 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[interlude] 
Nothing on the frontier is without a definite purpose 
No individual is without a definite purpose either 
Survival’s too difficult 

[Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
I’m your liability 

[Verse] 
No more questions 
I’ve had enough of your goddamn questions 
Maybe I’m a sucker for irreverence 
Maybe I will suffer from irrelevance 

Each life is a type of decision 
In the mud I am one with resistance 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 
There are no perfect people 
I know you’re only trying 
But I’ve forgotten how to be 
Alive 
[End Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 

You better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

You’ll know better 
I’m you liability
