about

...now rebirth

lyrics

They asked our men to draw their lots, but the one I drew killed me on the spot. When I awoke, I was a live again, but I knew many a word men cannot understand.

I rode away from that battlefield on a space borne python who knew not how to yield and set camp up on a dying star: how I came to you from light years afar.

(I am the factor you cannot see and I speak of a truth you refuse to believe. I am many things, but most of all I am me; I was once your slave, now above you are free)

And from that star I searched for my desire, and I found her in a white hole fire: she sang to me in a trance like song. We made love and made peace, and then soon we were gone.

Think Twice, Dublin EP
by Think Twice, Dublin

I followed this band since my junior year in high school, and, while their singles are very good quality (damn near professional, even), I find myself recommending their EP as a great starting point. Zach McGowan

A sorta sister record to Constructions, the artist is a close friend of mine from college who makes some excellent electronic music. There may be a band with us in it, soon... <plans mischievously> Zach McGowan
