This song was originally referred to as "the colourful loop".
We have a tendency to talk about the colour and tone of songs…
A more visual way of interpreting what we are listening to.

This is a simple melody, repetitive motif a progressive loop that builds in layers.


Synæsthesia

Styx was written by Stefan von Buddenbrock (the drummer) and Matt Levings. 

Styx

California was struggling to contain a spreading fire. Relatives of Matt lived in California at the time and were forced to evacuate their home. The band also consider this to be the sister song of "I Don't Talk to Machines" as many of the themes and tones carry through.

Another Californian Fire

I Don't Talk to Machines (a passive aggressive response to an inflexible mind). This song was written years ago, but is still one of our favourite songs to play live.

I Don't Talk To Machines

Silver Hill was written shortly after Matt watched "Factory Girl".
A film about Edie Sedgwick who becomes Andy Warhol's Muse (A must watch if you are interested in the Arts).

The lyrics also reflect a frustration against the current economic and political imbalance and injustices within South Africa.
