prodbyacesmith This sounds like Webby Vanderquack lost all her remaining sanity and made an electronic album. I love it. Favorite track: ROBOTS vs. SPACE DRAGONS (feat. ROB CULEN).

You debroided me To put me under pressure Cuz I'm a Mindborn Trula to a flesher! This is the last time I sing Through a voicegine And I've always beathed As once she did And I'm still vectring emotions I'm overwhelmed, she's so neuriful We're broided fornal tonow despite our expulsion I'm overwhelmed, she's so neuriful We're tonow and forever Trula me fornal, flesher Neuriful Neuriful...

They witnessed the sapphire abberation The clouds trembled as it breached My metropolis of condensation Is just beyond their reach Morgana's out to find them Monast is on his way The beams of steel, they climb them But they only lead astray Unfurling my northern spiral Into rigid works of man I am controlling a godhead Of extraterrestrial plan Cerulean skyscraper disappearing Into the overcast iron My glass reflects what they are fearing: My unreality is last to burn

Squeezy You know how to please me You can squeeze me 'Til I'm queasy In your arms I'm a perfect fit You can crush me into bits

[A Dragon at Peace] The smooth, cool stone of my craggy home Still damp from the runoff of my drying wings Feels good against my violet scales As I hear the sound of violent hail Outside, but also within. Wet to dry, dusk to dawn To change I am always drawn Heralding a mix of blue and red Of water and fire Despite spitting neither And yet I should be content For I am a symptom and not the cause But to be the cause, how amazing that feels As I rend myself free From autosymbolic claws. I twitch my tail, eight meters in length To think the humans fear this strength Guarding the hoard They suppose I plundered And yet they find me a wonder And I suppose they're right in that A flying myth amidst the mist For I've never stayed long In reality's song; Only magical stories persist. But I've done nothing legendary Besides, perhaps, often inspire Self-righteousness-fueled heroes To fight through fear of My nonexistent breath of fire. So this brings me to why I am Discussing with this floor of rock My legacy before my mind Like there's something left to find As if I hadn't taken stock So then I think, perhaps I'll sleep And curl up into a purple heap And softly dream as dragons do With strange visions often imbued With talks in the delusive deep. [Dreaming in the Future] I am dreaming In the future

(from google, I didn't change the original lyrics) You're older than you've ever been. And now you're even older. And now you're even older. And now you're even older. You're older than you've ever been. And now you're even older. And now you're older still. Time! Is marching on. And time, is still marching on. This day will soon be at an end and now it's even sooner. And now it's even sooner. And now it's even sooner. This day will soon be at an end and now it's even sooner. And now it's even sooner. And now it's sooner still. You're older than you've ever been. And now you're even older. And now you're even older. And now you're even older. You're older than you've ever been. And now you're even older. And now you're older still.

about

This EP is a collection of tracks that I have made since my 2015 album "INTERMIND POP LASTER 3058" that did not fit somewhere else for some reason or another. But I realized, while thinking of how best to release my exciting collaboration with long-time friend Rob Culen, that they would be happy together in a weird 7-track EP. So here we are.

As opposed to most of my past and future larger releases, this is not a concept work as a whole, and is instead a release of oddballs. Please enjoy each track as a microcosm of itself.

I think there is something for everyone* here. Do you want crazy oldskool rave stab riffs and mid-tempo hard kicks? How about terrorcore and odd time signatures? Heavy industrial? That stuff I was making when I was doing PC Noise? Introspective poetry? They Might Be Giants covers? All are contained in this 20ish minute adventure of adventures!

Please note that both dragon-related songs are non-canon in my ongoing dragon universe you may or may not know about. Also, please note that I drew Rob Culen's hair kind of wrong and it should flow down his back and not to each side, but maybe he's just flying backward and it's being brushed forward momentarily. In space. Sure.

If you're looking for my super conceptual long-form stuff, don't worry! There is a lot of that on the horizon! Just not yet. I hope you enjoy this EP in the meantime!

*everyone who wants my fun distorted stuff and not my super long stuff or my abstract ambient stuff. More of all of that is coming. Now, however, is time for fun distortion and rave stabs.
