Velveteen Memories is a mythic, multilingual, and genre-blending album that weaves together spoken word, lo-fi gospel, pop soul, and satirical storytelling. From the defiant anthem “We Are Many” to the cosmic ache of “The Harder Spirits” ” each track explores themes of resilience, migration, memory, and mythic identity. Childhood nostalgia meets spiritual depth in “I Am the Reef (Barney’s Song),” while “Truckers Moto” channel blue-collar grit and ancestral fire. Spanish-language pieces like “Mi Mariposa” ” offer lyrical sweetness and divine mischief, while “Diamonds and Rings” and critique consumer excess and nightlife emptiness. The album closes with “Crimson Waters, Thanks for Your Service,” a haunting tribute to sacrifice, co-composed with AI and soaked in reverence. It’s a sonic reef—layered, living, and defiantly alive

Media Assault _Full Lyrics_

Grad Fawkes’ 2nd album is a genre-fusing odyssey through myth, memory, and rebellion—where spoken word meets symphonic grit, and every track is a ritual of reclamation.”
The album is recursive, improvisational, and unapologetically interdisciplinary. It channels your mythic cosmology, legislative satire, and genre fusion into a cohesive experience that’s both pedagogical and poetic. Each track is a node in a larger narrative—an invitation to participate, reflect, and rise.


Balled of the Grim reaper.
