Poppin Them Thangs

Another experimental short track. 
This one about the cost of living crisis many are experiencing.

Picture this, account is empty, 
and your bank is rupt - fake
They ain't got your cash 
coz you woke up too late

They only have an app and  they apologize its inaccessible
Despite four years of study 
plus 5 work professional

Earning Income paying dollars, 
6 figures but its trash
Inflation feeding on your life, 
nothing left, its bad

2 million souls play pretend in your home town city
Homeless workers sleep in cars, covered windows, defeated.  

Nobody remain to blame, 
shame or remember 
How or where or who even cared, 
we weren't stronger together

The sold dreams were not to be seen
Lies in disguise
Forget high life retirement 
or magic beans

Like cancerous genomes 
grew the scheming first home loans
lifestyle fit for a garden gnomes homes small as a pebble stone

Subscriptions  everybody hate, but sold with love to salivate
Elevate your chance to celebrate

It don't matter where you’re from  
It don't matter where you're at 
when you know what'll come
It don't matter where you're from, 
It don't matter who you know, 
we all know what's wrong

Worthless

Wasted Time

“You’re true slime, you know that, Bigfoot.”
“I had a career to think about.”

True Slime

The opening cut to Dead or Alive finds Cooper Circle in signature form — muted vocal fragments, skippy drum programming, and layers of dusty chops stitched into a tense groove. Closer Look plays like a curtain raise: brief, sharp, and cinematic, setting the stage for what follows.

KinFoot is banned .. BigFoot Beats and Kinelleman collabo ..

The Madness in Evil is the album’s fever pitch - harpsichord-like psych loops whirling over a hard pulse, almost deranged in their repetition. It’s a track that bends reality, hypnotic yet violent, the trip’s breaking point before collapse.

The Madness in Evil

Few Are (Different) chops a haunting female vocal into mantra-like fragments - “few are” - while brass horns flare and drums grind underneath. The loops carry both grit and uplift, a reminder that walking your own path isn’t easy, but it’s powerful. Dredstorm twists the groove into a hypnotic, head-nodding sermon on individuality.

Few Are (Different)

Still There leans into gospel psychedelia - organ swells, male harmony loops, and a spectral lead vocal repeating, “he is there.” A gospel-tinged guitar solo slices through, grounding the haze in both reverence and delirium. Dredstorm flips sacred textures into a haunted hymn, halfway between chapel light and fever dream.

Still There

Lord Dredstorm - Keeping Sanity
A hypnotic descent into fragile states of mind. South Korean vocal chops drift through dark, looping textures, their presence ghostly yet grounding. Heavy bass and uneasy repetition create a feverish tension - sanity fraying but never quite snapping.

Keeping Sanity

Lord Dredstorm - Twilight
An intoxicating entrance into the world of Henny Soaked Psych. Psych-jazz atmospheres float on lounge-like calm, with brass punctuations guiding the drift. A chilled yet uneasy opener - the curtain slowly parts, revealing the glow of what’s to come.
