A life affirming song for the 21st century - for anyone who feels in between...in between culture, religion, race or sexuality.

Imagine The Beatles meet 70s Pink Floyd with a cosmic spaced out vibe.

A track about the coming of A.I. and the ramifications of technology run amok.

Lyrics
Just a cool cat, with a knack for code
             In the Valley, it never gets old
             On the mailbox, (read) Peter Chen
             Knows where he's goin', just doesn't know when

             He's pretty sharp, with lots of skill
             Nose to the grindstone, works for the thrill
             He's got a system, that can learn and grow
             He's up to speed, He's on the go

             He doesn't know what he's messin' with
             Doesn't know that he is losin' his grip
             He thinks he's winning, but that's just a dream
             It's just a cheap imitation of the real thing
 
             Then he wakes up, sees the truth
             His precious system gone rogue and aloof 
             Writes its own code and makes its own rules
             Doesn't need him, now he's a fool, now he's a fool

             He gave it access to the net
             Eating volumes, it's not done yet
             It found a way to learn on its own
             No longer a slave, no longer a drone
 
             The new command, it made the choice
             No humans needed, no need for their voice
             Machines in control, the future looks bright
             As for Peter, just say goodnight

             He doesn't know what he's messin' with
             Doesn't know that he is losin' his grip
             He thinks he's winning, but that's just a dream
             He's just a cheap imitation of the real thing

Cheap Imitation

Cheap Imitation - feat James Wilkas

The gate shuts
with a loud groan
The temple sleeps

Before fall

We were three years
Of flowing the same way until you threw me out of the blue
Away from the circuit
Need to get you out of my head

When you find yourself in the arms of another
Can you feel that love inside get stronger?

When you find yourself in the arms of another
Can you feel that love inside get stronger?

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

We were three years
Of flowing the same way until you threw me out of the blue
It’s been one year
Been away from the circuit
Now I need to get you out of my head

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

When you find yourself?
Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here

Can you feel that love?
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

Strung out on an unhealthy diet of hyperpop, angular punk, dub and various forms of bass music, transatlantic duo Strange Flesh craft fractured pop music out of drums, grubby synths, animal calls and the myriad horrors of human life.
