Chasing Shadows Album Release on Friday 2/9/24!

We are excited to announce the release of Chasing Shadows and album release party on Friday, February 9, 2024! We are DJing at 6 Feet Under at Palazzo in downtown Phoenix that night and will be spinning tracks from the album.

This is our first full length album since 2019. Chasing Shadows picks up where Stardust left off, but focuses even more on the post-punk basslines and lush, dreamy, distorted guitars. The vocals are more up-front than ever before and all of the lyrics have a deep personal meaning to us.

Up The Down Escalator (The Chameleons Cover) – New Song Release!

Our new song ‘Up The Down Escalator’ was just released today, Friday, June 10, 2022. You can stream it anywhere or download it directly from us at Bandcamp.

This song, originally by The Chameleons in 1983, is so ahead of it’s time lyrically, and very appropriate for the times that we are living in now. Our version was initially released on the 2021 Stranger Times tribute album by Coitus Interruptus Productions, featuring Bestial Mouths, Sol Sirenn, and many other talented artists. Mark Burgess of The Chameleons said “Wow Escalator is GREAT”. This particular version was remixed for official release in 2022. We hope you enjoy it!



Lyrics:

I’m gazing at faces staring blankly at me
Oh, I suppose it’s just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I’ve seen it end a million times
I lost my direction while dodging the flack
Oh, give me a hint or something
If I could freeze time at the flick of the switch
I wouldn’t hesitate, no

There must be something wrong, boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys

Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results
Yes, teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures and dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought
They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ’s sake leave me something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
Oh, there must be a way

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys
There must be something wrong, boys
They’re dragging me down

Eden, there’s no Eden
Anyway

They sit at the tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ’s sake, leave us something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long will it take

Oh, there must be something wrong, boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong, boys
There must be something wrong, boys
And they’re dragging me down

…and they’re dragging me down
And they’re dragging me down
You either swim or you drown

Into The Void (Nine Inch Nails Cover) – New song release!

We are happy to announce that we just released our studio version of ‘Into The Void (Nine Inch Nails Cover)‘!

It was originally performed for the PhxGoth.com Virtual Festival 2021. We had so much fun with it that we wanted to release a proper studio recording. You can download directly it from us on our Bandcamp page, stream it anywhere you listen to music, and the video is also on YouTube

This is the second cover song that we have released this year. The first one was ‘Cold (The Cure Cover)‘, which came out in February. Stay tuned for our next one ‘Up The Down Escalator (The Chameleons Cover)’. 

Cold (The Cure Cover) – New song release!

Our cover of ‘Cold’ by The Cure is available now exclusively on Bandcamp! It will be streaming everywhere else later this month.

‘Cold’ was written and originally performed by The Cure. We decided to cover it as part of our set in a livestream performance hosted by Out Of This World The Cure Italia. The performance did well on YouTube, so we decided it needed to be released officially. ‘Cold’ has been a favorite of mine for many years. Of all the bands that I love, The Cure will always be #1. No one will ever take their place. – Fuchsia

Lyrics:

Scarred, your back was turned, curled like an embryo
Take another face, you will be kissed again
I was cold as l mouthed the words and crawled across the mirror
And wait, await the next breath

Your name like ice into my heart

A shallow grave, a monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes and eyes like ice don’t move
Screaming at the moon, another past time

Your name like ice into my heart

Everything as cold as life. Can no one save you?
Everything as cold as silence and you will never say a word.

Your name like ice into my heart

Lyrics

Side by side. Together on this road. Clutching on tightly as society implodes.

Bridge: Here is where I feel most safe, with you, in our hiding place.

Chorus: A silver lining in these traumatic times. Its so refreshing, a ray of light.

Unshakeable fear. Scared of what comes next. A foreboding sense the future is vexed.

We will also release a new music video for ‘Ride Or Die’ on our YouTube page on the same day that the single comes out. The footage for the video was filmed all over Greece, including islands Santorini and Crete.

We performed ‘Ride Or Die‘ during the last couple of virtual performances, but this is the first time anyone will hear the studio version.

Lyrics (written by Hurley):

We stand alone in a crowded room
Often faded and slightly dated, yeah
I found my place next to you
Ride or Die

Chorus:
‘Til I die
By your side
For all time
Ride or Die

Always love you
Put here for you
Perfectly mated and I was created, yeah
To find my place next to you
Ride or Die

Chorus

You, you are the one I’ll always love
Favorite lover and there is no other, yeah
I just want to be, to be with you
To be with you
Ride or Die

Chorus

Stardust Single – Listener Reviews

“I really like the dreaminess of the song. The instrumentals are excellent (love the violin). The vocals are soft and somewhat wispy but still strong and stable sounding. This is one of those songs that I wish were 6-8 minutes long because it really sort of draws me into a mood and almost takes me out of where I’m at (an excellent quality for any kind of art). Really well done.”
