Sonic Aquifer
Secrets of Death
A meditation on mortality and equality. "Who was the fool? Who was the wiseman? Rich or poor / Beggar or king," concluding that all are "the same in death". Recorded at the Creative Incubator in South Austin, pairing psychedelic riffs with Butcher Slim’s raw vocals.
Sitcom in Hell
Blends satire with social commentary. Critiquing consumerism and media culture, urging the audience to "line up smiling characters by the mile" and remember that the script is written by our history. A sludgy, mid-tempo groove with fuzzed-out guitar.
Portals.001 / What is Sound
Companion to PortalG.001. A sonic experiment turning inward on the very nature of noise — interrogating what a sound actually is before it becomes a song.
Portals .002
An instrumental excursion through wormholes and alternate realities, tracked at the Creative Incubator.
PortalG.001 / Speech and Hearing
Companion to Portals.001. A meditation on the physics of perception — communication as signal and static in the modern world.
Scratch Ass
Pairs driving riffs with sardonic humour. A piece of the band's evolving mythology.
Slow Pen
Surreal narrative collage. "Time flies when the maggots crawl / And the bells of hell? That’s just the telephone."
Sunday Morning
Captures the blurry morning after a long night. "Spent all my money / Now it’s Sunday morning." Recorded at the BBQ Shack.
