darkmakor Lot of Pent up Energy in this entire album - You Asperse Me and Motion of the Slug & the Mold really make you feel it the most i think. Favorite track: You Asperse Me.

Bunnny Fiendishly frenetic. This cutesy rectangle is a vessel of the power and musical force that is "m@ the c@". The lavish lyrical content with the ranging vocals...my vocabulary can be spent trying to sum up how happy this made me and go nowhere. Dude's intense musically, and nothing I say can do this artist the right amount of justice. Just turn this on. Turn it up and wonder the streets, doodle, have your children. Soundtracking a pizza hunt turn epic quest in a sailor suit. Favorite track: Motion of the Slug & the Mold.

    From MothLife Recs:

    Bubblegum Octopus's newest release is available exclusively on cassette! This is a professionally duplicated, high-bias chrome tape for maximum fidelity. It is packaged with a color insert (pink and white!) and light pink plastic shell!

    The third long-form release by this New Jersey spazz-out unit is a mini-album of picopop-IDM and fierce chibigrind. What you've got is 10 tracks, 22 minutes of prismatic macromusic. BgO unifies, for his own purposes, a crossover of melodic breakcore, chiptune, Japanese shoegaze, speedcore and 00's-era cybergrind to express personal visions and fantastical situations.

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

Find a way to have fun in the dirt Playing with sharp glass You're looking for gems And the wands will glow on in dark We're forever, we're forever Stick together, stick together Gems and wands, gems and wands Write in the scroll, write in the scroll A way forward through the air Soiled napkin on the ground in a A witch riding on a broom (but she flies nowhere) All the fantasy inside
2.
Beast hungry, time to feed Small animals so gross you wouldn't believe Surrounding everything Demons pushing from beneath the oil and grease Glop glitter sputter back Pour power liquid burner Slathering mass fetid salt wave Pretend melt plastic Trash pouring like rain drops Critters squirming, surrounding my home Dead children and dead men and girls Tornadoes that blow me away from this world Desecrate your principals Fuck people you love Kill the past drown them all and Slay the beasts while they feed
3.
Defeat of logic Again Credit spent wasted Wasteland mechanics transgressing Undone mental traits destroyed No more thought, just act on instinct Impulse wish: eat, fuck, and sleep As things will go, a life on loan I'm in a shell with pieces I don't like I did not buy I have no reason to carry this debt The parts are broke, can I return? Take time to construct places that I like That I would buy I have a purpose Rosy atmosphere I'll never be the man that I am expected to be I just can not live life with gender distinctions tying me down to one path Breaking apart and falling to pieces, shambling slowly away I expect mistreatment, garbage bag me and leave me, debase and relinquish my world

Sun-less weapon Life volcano Gravitation Scraping metal I love in the time of portals Transporting between glowing bodies Unaffected, spacious vacuum A girl, I'm magical No more travel Weakest mortal Triumph faster, Triumph again Luminescent perfect body Beautiful translucent armor Covering me, blocking violet Ultra lifeless egg of good Not stranded on this desert planet Hopping off of stardust blankets Transform without clothes to bind me Warrior I become But I will drop my wand Out of range from the magic now Heroine no longer am But I will drop my wand Out of range from the magic now Shining I no longer be Lost the luster Troubled image Celebration No more promise Luminescent perfect body Beautiful translucent armor Covering me, blocking violet Ultra lifeless egg of good Not stranded on this desert planet Hopping off of stardust blankets Transform without clothes to bind me Woman I become But I will drop my wand Out of range from the magic now Warrior I no longer am But I will drop my wand Out of range from the magic now Shining I no longer be

The metal grinding and the sound of crushing inward Empty tin can falling Screaming crying for their friends and family they never saw them again Listen to the words of future inanimate objects and consider that they... But in spite of that you'll crash this whole damn train and everyone will know your name It despises everyone who can tolerate the outside world Miserable shut in for life Don't help it, No more friends Shield up Blood thirst runs in this fucked dissociation Train wreck on purpose Steel sadness Station abandoned Black wood cross Precious metals in the palm of your hand, scalding patterns into your flesh Bring the people down through empty corridors to empty endings in the... Slaying all in front of all to see forever over and over again you... Then obscure just as before you're hardly your name Tear drops drip, stuck in the past

You are the demon of progress You're a bad piece against change Your sorrows play out like a death march And they all hear you say Useful things garbled by nonsense Poignance burnt off by the gas Triumphant hate speech infernal Fracture NMDA Many days to suffer In plastic transference abysmal Decadent memory You asperse me, you see now And everyone can know it Body counting in my thoughts Verification Puking everything up and you catch a smile Dead sound Never heard again and gone In my sight, can not forget Touching face mouth encounter Extreme view point intact Soul sucking vacuum monster Magnet apocalypse I wash away Soul sucking vacuum monster From under the rug uncover A final resting place Acting in this fucked production Jester portraying despair Restless ennui theater Monologue is epitaph Just as things were looking decent Curtain call and crook off legs Remind me in several years Why I gave you all a chance

I'll go it alone to the slug and the mold I'm hearing the moans, that slime caked and cold In dark caves it drones from black hollow catacombs Dreading what can come Infinite distraction Limited satisfaction I can not escape from the slug and the mold I'm projecting the moans, that slime caked and cold In dark caves I can drone, from black empty catacombs Dreading what can come These are things that never polish proper Rotting things are growing and now living in us Gradual they creep up underneath the world we know And grab you, slap, and crush your pills up These are things that never polish proper Rotting things are growing and now living in us Slug, he growls and swallows up the planet Slime appendage grabbing, pulling, crushing Linoleum crusty Ceramic growing blacker Caught in the Motion of the slug and the mold

I hope that you don't mind if I call you This is the final chance I have to save Your name makes me feel propitiously White stars float out of the screen and into my eyes Take a bath with cotton candy Eat a marshmallow or seven I don't like religious imagery Living in ungracious heaven This is something so insane but nothing to be done about it I was meant for something better Feeding hopes for future journeys For so long I've been a fucking joke These words and sounds meant nothing outside Now I see that there is more than one Who sees why I spend my time drowning Get back /////// what's your problem? Don't ask, we all know that digital is just better How did you manage to stop coming doomsdays? I lied, but now the truth is here forever I will not This is not my spit Sing along, until your throat explodes A languished world, so melancholic Find yourself, floating among pink smoke And talk about the thoughts behind it all

Rugolorf 03:23
Everything's over and nothing's coming back And nothing's better, This life's not all we have In glowing clouds now, spinning through the sky The speed of light now, our worries leave us here Don't call me, I won't pick up now I can see our memories breathe Just like I promised I will always love you Everyone matters, our hate was just a lie Not so disgusting when you're looking down Everything makes sense up here, With you in clouds beneath the stars.
