Grimace Federation's sonic collages create a symphonic, cinematic, and immense sound. The band’s musical foundation could be discovered in the grooves of records from post-rock legends such as Jaga Jazzist, Tortoise, and Stereolab, while latter day influences, like Mogwai and Black Sabbath, and a lifetime of collecting obscure underground hip-hop records notably seep into their symbiotic chaos.

The release features two bass-heavy remixes from Aesop Rock, on this track "Strange Hours (Remix)" he also graces with his distinguished brand of dense wordplay and dark sense of humor. Ultimately, a must-have for crate-diggers all over the world.

This is for those who know and those who don't know of the wisdom that has been forgotten like a hazy dream. To change the world one must change and refine themselves first ~~~~

He who does not seek it is not likely to find it
~~~~ Paracelsus

Know thyself, and thou shalt know the universe and it’s gods!
~~~~The Oracle of Delphi

That God, the maker of all things, the great Self, ever seated in the heart of creatures is framed by the Heart, by the Thought, by the Mind, they who know that become Immortal.
~~~~ The Swetashwatara Upanishad 4:17

However, I tell you that Truth is not a matter of affirmation or negation, of belief or doubt. The Truth must be directly experienced while in the absence of the “I,” beyond the mind.
~~~~ John 8:32

Man has in him potentially the sum and Substance of the universe.
~~~~ Orphic Hymnic Poetry

I have said, Ye are gods; And all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.
~~~~ Psalm 82:6-7

ALLAH is the all in all; Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head
~~~~ Five Percenters

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
~~~~ Lao Tzu

When all the Desires of the Heart are cast away, then the Mortal becomes the Immortal. 
~~~~ Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.7

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it.
~~~~ Gautama Buddha 

Man is a spark of the universal flame to be ultimately United with it's Source.
~~~~ The Avesta

The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
~~~~ Aristotle

“And there are signs on the earth for those who are certain. And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?” 
~~~~ Quran 51: 20-21

You were born with Wings, why prefer to crawl through life?
~~~~ Rumi

When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the slightest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind.
~~~~Hsin Hsin Ming

Humans above all things that live upon earth are double: Mortal, because of the body, and immortal, because of the soul.
~~~~Thoth

The universe is similar to a game of charades. By putting on an act of confusion by guessing what it is to see if it itself could figure it's own self out.

When I'm looking at reality, I am really just seeing a reflection of me everywhere. We meet people who has all different types of expressions. With each encounter being a lesson whether positive or negative. 

With peace comes Love, from Love the Essence of life will spring forth in Abundance.

The Universe Is the Mind. So You truly Only See and Get What You Desire! Be careful on what you desire!

Control your thoughts and imagination to define your own you destiny. Explore the infinite realities that resides within and go beyond what is known and unknown. Become who you truly are.

Navigating the complexities of relationships, especially when deep hurt is involved, touches on several important human experiences.

 * Acknowledging Different Processing Styles: You mentioned, "we process it differently... It's been our whole relationship really." This is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. People metabolize grief, hurt, anger, and confusion at different paces and through different means. Some need quiet reflection, others need vocal processing; some express emotions outwardly, others internalize them. Recognizing this inherent difference isn't just about tolerance; it's about understanding that your partner's way of coping isn't necessarily a reflection on you or the relationship's value, but rather their individual mechanism. Acknowledging this explicitly, as you have, can be a step towards bridging the gap that these differences can create, reducing misunderstandings where one person might feel abandoned, rushed, or overwhelmed by the other's process.

 * The Courage of Vulnerability and Owning the Past: Your apology – "Im sorry that I don't know how How much pain youve had to put up with and Im sorry I used to hide my heart and live a lie just to get by" – coupled with "Thats not me anymore," speaks volumes about vulnerability and growth. It takes significant strength to look back at your own coping mechanisms, especially those developed for self-protection ('hiding my heart', 'living a lie'), recognize how they might have impacted someone else, and own that without making excuses. This kind of self-awareness and admission is often born from painful experiences but is crucial for building more authentic connections moving forward. It signals a commitment to relating from a place of truth, even when it's uncomfortable.

 * The Role of Empathy and Apology in Healing: Your words express empathy – the attempt to understand and share the feelings of another, even acknowledging the limits of your understanding ("I don't know how How much pain youve had to put up with"). A sincere apology that acknowledges specific impacts can be profoundly healing. It validates the other person's experience and pain, demonstrating that you see them and recognize their reality. It's less about assigning blame and more about taking responsibility for one's role in the dynamic, which can help rebuild bridges of trust that may have been damaged.

 * The Necessity of Time and Space: Your advice, "Take time and process your feelings," is often essential when emotions run high. Intense feelings can cloud judgment and lead to reactive communication that causes more harm. Allowing time and space isn't about avoiding the issue, but rather about allowing the initial intensity to subside so that both individuals can approach the situation with greater clarity and emotional regulation. It respects individual needs for reflection and prevents forcing resolutions before people are ready, which rarely leads to genuine understanding.

 * Hope and Relief: Mentioning "Thankfully it didn't happen the way you thought it did" introduces an element of relief. Sometimes, the anticipation or interpretation of events can be more painful than the reality. Acknowledging this shared relief can be a small, positive point of connection amidst the pain, a reminder that not all fears materialized.
In essence, your message touches on the difficult, ongoing work of relationships: navigating individual differences, healing past wounds, communicating vulnerably, taking responsibility, and allowing space for processing. It's a journey that requires immense courage, empathy, and self-awareness from everyone involved.
