    First pressing of 'The Perfect Violence', our debut album. Recorded together but apart in lockdown isolation and fizzing with mythical pop culture references and gothic dreams...A self published, defiant and dreamy introduction to a band that invite you to dance wildly in the night with the dark old things.

lyrics

I feel so tired
I can’t remember a time when I felt any thing else
Eternally exhausted
I care for nothing and no one not even my self

I step out of my house
The moon is high
Put one foot heavy
In front on the other
Numb in my solitude
When did I die
I need to escape
This awful half-life

I was human once
With memories and love and excitement in my heart
Now I am Nothing
I have nothing good and no one not even my self

I approach the shoreline
The moon is sinking
Plant one foot heavy
Beside the other
The sky turns rosy
It must be time
I kiss goodbye
To this hollow half-life

I turn my face to meet the rising sun
I finally feel for the first time in so long
I turn my face to meet the rising sun
She is so bright and burns fire into my smile

Yes was human once
With memories and love and excitement in my heart
I think of you my love
As I turn to dust and the wind lifts me up on the morning

I turned my face to meet the sun
