"Two Dreamers," the debut album by Japanese-American producer Exitpost, was inspired by recurring dreams. 

Born in Tokyo and raised in New York, Exitpost (real name Ken Herman) experienced recurring dreams throughout childhood where he’d wake up in Tokyo panicked, unable to return back to New York. Upon recent visits to Japan, he began experiencing the reverse - recurring dreams where he’d wake up in New York, unable to return to Japan. 

The dreams, manifestations of lifelong questions of identity and what “home” means to a mixed Asian-American artist, was the catalyst for the 9 tracks on "Two Dreamers."

Recorded in both Tokyo and New York from 2017 to 2019, the balancing act of cultural identities comes to the fold throughout the record, with songs that navigate English and Japanese lyrics, sound design paying homage to the regional sounds of the LA beat scene or Japanese folk music, and field recordings taken in both cities. Equal parts lush and atmospheric with bouts of chaotic sound design and aggressive percussion, the duality of identity, home, sleep and being awake comes to life in the tapestry of sounds he weaves. 

The LP includes collaborations with several other Asian-American artists, including LA-based lo-fi vocalist ESAE, New York producer-singer Hanaé, and Japanese vocalist Unmo.

Plaster Cast - Permanence EP

Hey guys it's been a while since Waste and I've done a lot of changes, most importantly my name, I just wanted to change my style and direction for this project, so let this single be a taste of what's to come, since it's literally a single of my upcoming EP "Irreversible" hope you guys like it since this song was inspired by multiple missed connections and infatuations that burned out too quickly.

this song was also co-produced by my dad Jun Gomez
mix and mastered by Jorge Juan Wieneke V

Lyrics 

it starts with a chance 
a game and a dance 
I tried to avoid me giving in to your glance

a moment in time 
we think and we try 
I don't wanna fall don't wanna hear a good bye

prechorus

in a moment we would see eye to eye 
my heart how it lies, my feelings eat me alive 
could it be you, could it have been all the time 
i guess I'm running out

chorus

out of time, you'll be gone in a moment gone in a moment 
in time, you'll be gone in a moment, gone in a moment

verse 2 
I look for a sign 
I ask the divine 
Im making a move next thing I know, I'm behind

a million and one 
scenarios begun 
no matter the move my mind just wants me to run

bridge

in a moment we would see eye to eye my heart how it lies, my feelings eat me alive could it be you, could it have been all the time almost out of time you know

as Im looking far away back in time, I start with hello and you replied with a hi, I always knew that we would end with good bye, now we’re finally out, out of

out of time, you'll be gone in a moment gone in a moment in time, you'll be gone in a moment, gone in a moment


moon mask-gone(in a moment)
