The Curiously Strong Peppermints announce the release of their second album, ECHOES FROM THE ULTRAVIOLET FUZZ.

Although it picks up right where their debut album left off, it is more cohesive and band-oriented and features a wider sonic range.ECHOES is a concept album organized into three Acts and examines the rise and fall of Anna Livia Plurabelle and The Inverted Why, their disillusionment at the hands of The Synthetic Grin, and The Inverted Why's isolation and eventual redemption in The Ultraviolet Fuzz.The album is full of hooky melodies, abstract lyrics, oddball instrumentation and of course lots of noisy guitars.

The Curiously Strong Peppermints are currently performing live in the Midwest to support the album.

* * * 

Abandoned nations under a storm cloud
Look how you function in your first lockdown
Hand in hand and holding fear and doubt
Abominations in the air abound
Hold your sway, cellulose

Another resource that cannot be found
Another recourse that falls too the ground
Another discourse to detach the sound
After the ricochet became unbound
Hold your sway, cellulose

Ride on your chariot
Dive bomb your pestilence
Tied with your lariat
Lead us astray

Queue up to quarantine	
Moving in serpentine
Cue up the guillotine
Fear not their stay

Into the darkness of your only home
To trace the auras of your former glow
Becoming islands when allowed to roam
A solitary state it has bestowed
Hold your sway, cellulose

Can't escape this world that's falling down
Cracked and crumbling, the orange crown
Onto the head of all deniers, is donned
We're dead and decomposing from his con
Hold your sway, cellulose

Cellulose
