This track is inspired by Lana Del Rey's particular brand of pop, which fucks hard

Thanksgiving Mourning

A Coheed & Cambria style Thanksgiving song. You can tell because it's the longest track on this album.

The Keywork Harvest [iTunes Pre-Order Bonus Track]

This is heavily influenced by Run the Jewels but the AI didn't do a great job of distinguishing voices when it was supposed to. However, it's insightful and for AI-generated slop, a very biting commentary on late-stage capitalism.

Thanksgiving Feast (on the Rich)

I wanted something melancholic along the lines of Just Pretend by Bad Omens, but for Thanksgiving, and this was what I liked most without having to burn through my Songify credits

Shattered Harvest

A post-punk style song, with harmonica, about the deadening effect of consumerism.

"Smile, It's a Trainwreck" 

(Lyrics)

(Intro)

(Verse 1) 

Fluorescent lights... they're 'too bright.'

I'm... in the corner... 'out of sight.'

Everyone's... 'shouting.'

No one's... 'listening.'

The... 'fake laugh'... is... 'glistening'

...under the 'veneer.'

I... 'hate it here.'

Just... 'plastic cups' and... 'cheap perfume.'

...'Suffocating' in the... 'fumes.'

(Pre-Chorus 1) 

And I'm watching the clock tick-tick-tick...

This whole damn scene is making me sick!

I gotta get out, I gotta get out, I'm gonna...

...I'm gonna... BREAK!

(Chorus 1) 

Oh, 'bless his heart,' he's... 'sufferin'.'

While everyone is 'shoutin'' and a-'pufferin'.'

It's... 'quite the show,' innit? It's... 'all a mess.'

So you... 'might as well' just... 'watch it,' I... 'guess.'

Smile, it's a trainwreck!

Pop the champagne, what the heck!

They're... 'all gonna crash,' so... 'grab a good seat.'

It's... 'all... so... 'tragic'... and... 'sweet'!

(Post-Chorus)

(Verse 2) 

...Ay.

...I see you by the... 'speaker.'

...Laughin' at the... 'preacher'

...in the 'kitchen'

...who's 'bitchin''

...'bout his 'stock portfolio.'

...You and me, girl... 'let's go.'

...We could... 'dip.'

...I'm... 'tired of this... 'trip.'

(Pre-Chorus 2) 

But you're not even looking, you're just... 'LAUGHING!'

You... 'think this is 'funny'?!

You... 'think it's a 'JOKE'?!

I'm... 'drownin'' out here, I'm... 'gonna... 'CHOKE'!

(Chorus 2) 

Oh, 'now' he's the... 'center of the 'show'.'

...'Thinks his 'drama's' all... 'that matters,' 'don't-ya-know'?

He's... 'startin'' to... 'fume,' he's... 'turnin' all... 'red.'

...He... 'really should've just... 'stayed home in... 'bed!'

Smile, it's a trainwreck!

Pop the champagne, what the heck!

They're... 'all gonna crash,' so... 'grab a good seat.'

It's... 'all... so... 'tragic'... and... 'sweet'!

(Bridge) 

I'M NOT A JOKE! I'M NOT YOUR PUNCHLINE!

YOU'RE NOT THE PUNCHLINE, 'LOVE,' YOU'R_E JUST A 'PART' OF IT!

THIS WHOLE NIGHT IS A 'WASTE' OF MY 'TIME'!

WELL, 'OBVIOUSLY!' THAT'S THE 'BEST' THING... 'ABOUT IT!'

IT'S ALL 'FALLING... 'APART'!

(Final Chorus / Outro) 

Smile, it's a trainwreck!

Pop the champagne, what the heck!

(...'plastic cups'... 'cheap perfume'...)

They're... 'all gonna crash,' so... 'grab a good seat.'

(...'gotta get out... of this... 'room'...)

It's... 'all... so... 'tragic'... and... 'sweet'!

Smile, It's a Trainwreck

"You want capitalism without labor?  Like a neighborhood without neighbors."

Strangely, I might have been half-asleep when I finished work on this track last night, because I don't remember making some of the choices I made on this one.  

I know I had the idea of a downtempo minimal ambient nearly IDM track, ironically titled "XS" (for Excess).  I wake up this morning and suddenly there's a huge guitar solo in the middle of it...and there's like three voices yelling about income inequality.  

Did I do that?  Did Steve Urkel do that?   

It is true that I've been having problems with getting enough sleep and I have been waking up really early, only after a couple hours of sleep, and start continuing to work on the song repeating endlessly in my headphones while I'd dozed off. 

That was the case with "XS."  And I must have been watching Even More News or Leeja Miller or The Daily Show or John Oliver, just before unexpectedly crashing...and the topic must have been Elon's trillion dollar compensation demand/request/offering...whatever.  

It feels like there's got to be a way to, instead, incentivize corporate owners into stopping the endless cycle of cutting costs, downsizing work forces, ruining unions, ending pensions, and paying out huge executive bonueses for doing so...and instead to push build stable, sustainable, long term, operations that offer good products and reasonable prices while still managing to hold on to a large, well trained, well compensated work force with a sense of security into the future.     

Our richest shouldn't be in the constant pursuit of the endless more for themselves.  Even the Scrooge McDucks of the past used their wealth to build libraries and colleges and hospitals, to fund research or arts organizations that benefit everyone--not gilded immense ballrooms for themselves while being perfectly fine letting Americans starve, or depriving them of their rights and the due process they are guaranteed, or healthcare, or...anything.  

So...as usual, an Interbay song ends up being a delightful hodgepodge of musical ideas and mixed inspirations--that somehow, sometimes at least, share a window into what my brain is thinking (even if that window only opens when I'm mostly asleep.)  

Now--YOU shouldn't sleep on "XS".  Give it a listen!  A like!  Repost it!  Share it!  Add it to a playlist!  Comment on it!  

Don't sleep on Interbay!  A previously unheard Interbay track is being dropped every single day (so far!) for well over a year.  Coming up on 550 consecutive days!  

This is just the latest...and tomorrow there'll be another...and another...etc.

Is this amount of constant content generation a bit excessive?  

Absolutely. This Interbay song is COMPLETELY "XS"-ive.  Huzzah!  

"You can't seem to get enough, but you'll soon learn that the rest of us have had enough.  Enough of you!"

Imminent Structure Failure (instr demo)

Cinema Noir - En Ø (denmark, 1984)

UCR - A Forest Stream (Copenhagen, 1981)

Phase Chroma is a high-concept duo occupying the luminous, melancholic space between Progressive Structure and Ethereal Art-Pop. Formed around a striking duality—precise, structural synth work meets vast, dreamy vocal atmospheres—the project exists to explore emotional resonance through meticulous design. Their music sounds like the aftermath of a beautiful, systemic failure. Tracks like the digitally fractured "Neon Decay" and the liquid, intimate vastness of "Ripples in the Void" showcase their signature approach: cinematic soundscapes where every layered texture and subtle metric shift is intentional. Phase Chroma doesn't just make music; they manufacture deeply felt sonic tension for the quiet, empty hours.

PETE GIOCONDA is a unique, edgy singer, a protest poet with penchant for historical reference. This mix of punk attitude and psychedelic-folk feel teases the audience to see through new eyes ... like a Johnny Rotten (who hasn’t slept in four days) meets Times They Are a-Changin’-era Dylan and strolls into Cat Power’s bedroom for consolation.

Pete Gioconda's songs are fused from new wave, pop and folk/rock influences, mingling poetic lyrics with a punk attitude and playful unpretentiousness. Youthful songs of mischief, desire, loss and sadness, plus transcendent perceptions.

Pete has taken the empty culture of materialism and is attempting to untangle it. His song “Hey You, Out with Shopping Bags” acquired new meaning in the wake of 2011 looting. Shadow shopping. The unseen forces which control our perception, which leave us “dreaming of money gods”, form the subject of “Wake Up or Be Captured”. “In one sense, 1970s punk had it easy,” Pete comments. “All it had to do was attack nice fluffy hippies. It’s much harder now, because mainstream youth culture is filled with aggressive patsies of consumerism. Being aggressive back doesn’t work. I’ve tried. It just makes minds smaller.”

“Some people make shopping mall music. Big, calm, blandly elegant. Somewhere to pass the time and feel comfortable. Pete does not make that kind of music. He makes the music of cobblestone streets, winding alleys, shady lanes. Dimly lit bars. The music of cold, still dawns. Of desolate, wild country.” - Nomenclature Standard

Pete’s poetic style is influenced by the freedom he found hitching and wandering in his 20s, and by his love of classic literature. His aim is to merge story, theatre and poetry with his music and songs. In 2008, Pete performed many Bristol-written songs live on BBC3 TV’s “Upstaged”, as guest of performance artist/musician Badgertrap.
