1.	Petition (The Hum of Consequence) 03:20	lyrics	buy track
A secret chemistry Written in my bones Escorting me to sleep Move in patterns I don’t know Secret machines of magic Performing in the dark Mute ghosts of love and evil Determining the arc True data in the void False figures in the limbs Them particles attend The hum of consequence An unrequited beauty Established in the eyes A prerecorded sequence Concludes in soft goodbyes Whatever happens I beg you Please be gentle with me please be gentle with me
2.	Sacred Math 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Algebra & gasoline Holy earth I’m wandering Sticks & stones & saintly wrath Us & them & sacred math Precision is rebellion I’m wanting while I’m wailing It’s fitting or it’s failing When the numbers add up Yes the numbers add up Motorways & minds digress Brains & Bones & endlessness The things you’re told you’re everything but old Screws & shafts & trust at best Everyone listen to the Fractal glistening & act on this & that will fall into place Anyone be anything & then stop listening You can’t shake the numbers So just slow your pace Precision is rebellion I’m wanting while I’m wailing It’s fitting or it’s flailing When the center will hold yes The center will hold Say you give a damn Say another prayer Trust in the words of a heartbreaker Give up your name Give in to games Words are bipolar Numbers are forever Precision is rebellion I’m wanting while I’m wailing It’s fitting or it’s flailing When the center will hold yes The center will hold Twist the shapes It can be done Do your worst C’mon c’mon c’mon Everyone listen to the Fractal glistening & act on this & that will fall into place Anyone be anything & then stop listening You can’t shake the numbers So just slow your pace
3.	Steady Now Steady 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Dreary coast A world on fire You watch the wall Your soul is for hire Down Low Is where you keepin it Cry Woe When you’re supposed to spit Slip slow When you could rule the pit The lair below Has got you hooked on it Steady now, steady Lose when you’re ready Hold down your head in shame again Wrong note What’s it you’re asking me Don’t look For love in the VIP If you want stories bigger than themselves You want meaning inbetween the lines Commune in tongues Addressing them all wrong Speaking through faces In all the wrong places Steady now, steady Choose when you’re ready Hold down your heavy name again Down Low There’s nothing happening brother Go rise Above Just when it’s pulling you under Down Below There’s nothing happening brother Go on With the show Just when it’s pulling you under Steady now, steady Move when you’re ready Hold down your heavy heavy head Down Low Is where you get your grip Go rise Alone And then get used to hit Yes yes you’ve been down many roads You’ve been drowned in the cold You’ve been out all alone And you never bothered asking why is there nothing lasting Some images for you to own Yes yes you’ve been bent but you’re not innocent You’ve been learning all these lessons slow On your own Steady now, steady Choosing your story Hold up your heavy name again

5.	Deserter 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Lie awake Skin and bones Everything you thought you own Has run down Run down Run down All the luck In the world Has been sucked Inside this swirl And run out Run out Run out Signed your name Card’s been dealt Too much too late Fasten yer belt and turn round Turn round Turn round And every little failure Will be living til the day you’re done Holy shit You are so fucked All the boys Will hate your gut You’re cast out cast out cast out Now get on up Do comprehend Everyone you called a friend Has left town Has left town Has left town And the apathy gets thicker Like the distance to the liquor Alpha wolves in offices Can’t track where the trouble is Mourning that which has gone bad gentlemen all dropping dead now Dead now Dead now Greedy mouths All up for it Smell the gas and aim to hit Sucking on which has gone stale Harnessing the will to/every notion meant to fail proud And fall out Fall out And every little layer is both lover and betrayer
6.	Dark Hysteria (I’m So Glad You’re Here) 06:45	lyrics	buy track
Fist In the The Sky I shot My love Into the stratosphere Where it dispersed Still shimmering Where are you Anywhere but here No truth behind the scenes You‘ll find it in the trenches Or sneering at the bar Marauding on the benches Voyage through time in the museums of fear An athlete of god Trying to interfere There‘s a city underground And your stories travel through its streets at night Dark hysteria Little tragedies The dead white morning gaze Shimmers up your sleeve Treacherous confidantes Parading down the room Your life sitting there like a person you'd die to talk to Echoes through ages Echoes through bodies Everything in line Everything in line Haikus of horror Letters in the sky We’re moving closer One stitch at a time One stitch at a time Mark my words (I’m so glad you’re here)
7.	A Crying Game 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Listen up now Be a big guy Everything you’re holding dear will flake No no no how no no no why These decisions are not yours to make Buckle up dear Didn’t you notice Your beret’s a little out of date Welcome to hell No pity here While we listen to the sounds you make Nothing is real, all you want is glamour And what you need does exceed your grammar You know it’s not you You won’t be to blame We both know staying true is a crying game Nothing is real, what you want is glamour Every decision poses a dilemma There won’t be a clue You won’t be the same We both know staying true is a crying game Flesh in the streets Wear an armor made of beats Get up get over it Don’t be a fucking torture You can’t just give in You just cannot let them win As the arrival So is the departure We want your young We want your blood red blues Forever wanted Forever wounded Forever marked as you make the news Buckle up dear Didn’t you notice Your beret’s a little out of date Welcome to hell No pity here While we listen to the sounds you make No dreams No spark No seams No mark You haven’t been yourself of late No scheme No arc No teams No mark How many chances can you take Flesh in the streets Wear an armor made of beats Get up get over it Don’t be a fucking torture You can’t just give in You just cannot let them win As the arrival So is the departure Nothing is real and what you want is glamour And what you need poses a dilemma this show hold’s no truth Looking good’s built on pain We both know staying true is a crying game Nothing is real, all you want is glamour And what you need does exceed your grammar You know it’s not you You won’t be to blame We both know staying true is a crying game
8.	Dissolution Song 03:15	lyrics	buy track
Cells die Blunt disintegration Coming right up now Do I wanna know Void sky Sulking in the basement Where does matter really go Stitch him up and now Sunny schemes are lost on me Fear and dark philosophy Wishing on a scar for the scars to go away You know I wouldn’t want it any other way Sunny schemes are lost on me Fear and dark philosophy Wishing on a star for the scars to go away You know there’s really nothing more for you to say C-E-L-L-S D-I-E Something wicked’s coming for me C-E-L-L-S D-I-E Something wicked’s coming for me Void sky Searching an arrangement Where does matter really go Stitch him up up and now Sumer’s again in love with me And summons me And summons me Sunny schemes are lost on me Fear and dark philosophy Wishing on a scar for the scars to go away You know I wouldn’t want it any other way Sunny schemes are lost on me Fear and dark philosophy Wishing on a star for the scars to go away You know there’s really nothing more for you to say

Obverse
by Trentemøller

Anders Trentemøller is king. Immaculate in production skills, musicality and taste. A perfect symbiosis of electronic and 'analogue' elements, referencial to his idols as well as genuinely inspired. Chrome Animals

Hear Me Out - Album
by Reignwolf

Jordan Cook and his band are the most exciting live act there is these days. There is nothing comparable to a Reignwolf show, except to the big bang maybe. This album can be your gateway drug. Chrome Animals
