Longtime musical collaborators Chelsea Balzer and Matt Walker formed Vital Organs in 2015 after composing music with performance company Aetherplough for 6 years. 

With backgrounds in experimental indie and rock, both brought a playful DIY sensibility to the process of writing a pop record, making intentional choices about when to stick to the mold and when to tweak it. The result is a debut album which is sexy, political, and surprisingly reverential. 

Drawing from a strong 80's influence, producer and video director Aaron Gum (InDreama, Team Love Records) worked closely with the band, making use of an extensive collection of classic synthesizers to curate a palette of sounds which is sometimes retro and sometimes futuristic. In the album's multiple videos, Gum positions This Hysterical Hunger within a dream world of human skirts, sinister clowns, and parking garage Cinderella stories. Award-winning Make Believe Studios gave it a glossy finish.

The Last Days Of Summer

"Excited Delirium"
That's what you said 
Don't look away
Don't turn your head
 
Grabbed from the street 
Overpowered
Kept in for days
Questioned for hours

Nobody told us
Nobody knew
What are you hiding?
What did you do?

Excited Delirium
Excited Delirium 


Colourful language
Wilted flowers
"Fell down the stairs"
"Slipped in the showers"

We must ask how
We must ask why
Against all the odds
We must try

Nobody told us
Nobody knew
What are you hiding?
What did you do?

Excited Delirium
Excited Delirium 


"Crazed on drugs
Feeling so high
Leapt from the top  
Thought they could fly"

That's not an answer
It cannot be true 
This ain't the person 
That I knew

Nobody told us
Nobody knew
What are you hiding?
What did you do?

Excited Delirium
Excited Delirium 


You may be bigger
Than me
But WE 
Are bigger than you 

We shall find out
That I can promise
And when we do
We'll be coming for you

What did you do?
What did you do?
What did you do?
What did you do?

Excited Delirium?

What did you do?
What did you do?

Paper Thin

BROKEN MIRROR 
Words and Music copyright © 2020 Rich Puxty
 
Broken mirror
Lying on the floor
Broken mirror
She can’t take this anymore 
 
Shattered 
Into a thousand pieces 
Scattered 
Blown to the four winds
 
Bad thoughts 
Always seem to stay
Take all these demons
And make them go away
 
Please 
Tread carefully 
Don’t trample
On this broken mirror 
 
 
Haunted 
Each and every day
Taunted 
In each and every way
 
Never has she felt so low
As she does today
All the clouds 
Are closing in
 
Darkness is her best friend
No one can see her
Or the state 
She’s in
 
It used to be love
But now she doesn’t know 
Just what it is
Anymore 
 
Please
Tread carefully 
Don’t trample 
On this broken mirror


And so it’s true
What they say
That tomorrow
Is another day 
 
The sun will rise again 
And shine again 
The birds will sing again
Begin her life again
 
Remember who and when 
She doesn’t need that kind of friend
Bin yesterday and then
Start over again 
 
Forget the bad years
And the times that she fell 
Take those memories 
And burn them all to hell
 
A new day is beginning 
She never ever stopped believing 
That the sun would shine again
On this broken mirror

Broken Mirror
