ART IS DEAD, WE ARE THE NEW MUSEUMS
by RILEY THE MUSICIAN

TO BE PRESENTED IN MUSEUMS
TO BE INTERPRETED BY THE MASSES
TO BE DAMAGING TO THE CLICHES
AND TO BE MADE FOR THE KIDS
THIS IS WHAT ANXIETY SOUNDS LIKE
CAUSE I'M ALWAYS SO, SO ANXIOUS
THE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO KEEP MOVING
SO AM I REALLY LIVING IN THE FIRST PLACE?
WHATEVER IT IS,
I JUST HOPE YOU MAKE SOME SORT OF PEACE WITH IT.

A WORLD OF ART

Волшебство

Асфодель

Taking on both the role of vocalist and producer, beardy realizes a unique vision of melodic, twinkling, yet raw and funky songs that happily bridge indie rap, video game music, and earworm pop.

On the first disc of their latest double album SATELLITE etc DELUXE, beardy speeds through a flipbook of heartfelt experiences, using rap as a lens to explore queer identity and internet culture. Earnest lyrics about long-distance relationships, feeling cute, and looming anxiety float over nod-inducing beats that evoke ghosts out of a dusty Nintendo GameCube. A fleet of aliens from The Day The Earth Stood Still begin to invade Earth, but beardy is safe at home, having already uploaded their consciousness to the dark web.

The second disc is home to an exciting addition of new bonus tracks, and a series of genre-bending remixes by five different innovative underground producers! Finally, the instrumentals to Disc 1 are also included so you can let those wiggly synths soak in even deeper.

ways (feat. RILEY THE MUSICIAN)

ALONE (feat. RILEY THE MUSICIAN)

always moving vaguely i think you're tryna scare me
life is always good but your edginess haunts me
and i just get sick of the wasted production
you're a blind bee lemme open your eyes hun

it lives it grows it dies it breathes
you must let go of painful things
it's short it's sweet you cannot escape this
don't suffocate the trees you breathe
it lives it grows it dies it breathes
you must let go of painful things
it's short it's sweet you cannot escape this
don't suffocate the trees you breathe

kick back, i got a feeling im living speechless
long life, seasons are coming my heart is spacious
suffering, i guess it never comes without the blessing
falling to ground myself im getting up and soaring
i cared to day it sounds like "boom clap, la da da da da da"
and father keep my brothers
im not your strongest soldier

im not your strongest soldier (x4)
that was good i think

la da da da da da da da da dada da da dada da da
catch!
la da da da dadadada it go like da da dada da da da da da
crash!
i don't wanna lose friends they're like trees to breathe
i wanna prove this black skin can keep a family
and it goes like
my voice a bell when it rings
i'll show you what it's like to dream

it lives it grows it dies it breathes
(it lives it grows it dies it breathes)
you must let go of painful things
(you must let go of painful things)
it's short it's sweet you cannot escape this
(it's short it's sweet you cannot escape this)
don't suffocate the trees you breathe
(don't suffocate the trees you breathe)
it lives it grows it dies it breathes
(it lives it grows it dies it breathes)
you must let go of painful things
(you must let go of painful things)
it's short it's sweet you cannot escape this
(it's short it's sweet you cannot escape this)
don't suffocate the trees you breathe
(don't suffocate the trees you breathe)

suffocate
la da da da
boom clap
dance with me and say it (x10)
(dance with me and say it (x10))
and you're a riot take me higher (x4)

la da da da da da
here comes the sun my lover
this honey bakes another
i feel the flowers flutter
