  • Cassette + Digital Album

    The box set includes a numbered print of the limited edition, sound art cassette, a re-release of the original chapbook “The Front Lines of the War,” as well as hand-made materials and inserts. The coda is included as an insert, hand-printed on natural fiber paper made by an indigenous women’s collective in Chiapas, Mexico, and a unique distressing process for the cassette boxes, which parallels the element of randomness and glitching that is central to the production ethos of the album.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Front Lines of the War via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Opiate Consciousness

drifting through mountain waves
on gasoline fumes
the engine a fluttering heart
gashed-out hillsides and concrete obelisks
a landscape of butterfly wings
with time receding like a tide
and metal girders marching in
rust and rivet consciousness
desire for a bone of joy
buried in a pretty girl’s womb
or tossed from heaven
from the table of a feast
trenches dug out with machines
berms of gridded earth and
tunnels drilled through stone
efforts of human design
virus consciousness
of increasing acceleration
military love
engulf the world in
cordite and brass
one more road to follow
one more border up ahead
a membrane to part and enter
pendulum consciousness
floating on opiate wings
butterfly trails
night day night day
turning over
in someone’s dream
of endless games of chance
cloud consciousness
rise and drift away.
