mercury SO catchy and playful while still conveying some really vulnerable & deep feelings!!!! i love this so much and it's so hard to pick a favorite track; still learning english and kind of a gremlin get stuck in my head the most, but i might like the lyrics on hee hoo peanut, in passion's clutch, and in circuitry terms the best Favorite track: Still Learning English.

a-v-e-r-y This is quirky, thoughtful and fun pop that is unashamed to be openly neurodivergent. Each song reveals more detail and meaning when you give it close attention, only for the hook to stick in your head long afterwards ^_^ Favorite track: Teenagers in a Tennis World.

DoomZappo Here we see Dani Lee Pearce return to something resembling her old synthpop style except with a more minimalist and experimental streak, with every song developing as a gradual construction of melodic snippets and ornaments that on their own sound strange and defective, but which, when put together, interlock and complete each other like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Catchy, intriguing and all around beautiful at the same time. Favorite track: In Passion's Clutch.

Spectricycle 05:02
every day the day drags on with no color until a splash down on one chord from all the bands 700 bands all in one city splash 700 colors into life 10,000 cities each in 700 countries the insect eye spectrum becomes complete on the downbeat replete on the two-beat in heat on the three beat upbeat on the out beat but as the day wanes on the colors start falling off and every splashing chord a new coat of paint but when the song does end the color falls off again and were no longer gay but a muted gray discreet on the downbeat impete on the two beat concrete on the three beat defeat on the out beat the sun rounds the bend and the moon hits the sand and a new wave of spectral shimmers hit the starlight air the cycle of the muted against the spirits indisputed one weaves magic, the other fights unfair

the sheik of chic she kissed my cheek staring down my sleek physique skiffs row down her secret creek of chardonnay and hennessy she opens up her woolen cloak and buries me inside welcomes me into her flight of fancy on a sequin kite but do i deserve the gift of her light what have i done to earn it besides infatuation at first sight ive barely moved at all from this computer chair but that look in her eyes like some burly mama bear she grabs my hair pulls it hard drags me on the floor my soul is in shards do not touch for there is blood in passion’s clutch she says i am not cut i say okay thats great i like it uncut, but i have so many wasted años lying in a bloody bucket it is not my gift to take your heart or take your girth god’s greatest mistake was my birth do i deserve the gift of your light what have i done to earn it besides infatuation at first sight ive barely moved at all from this computer chair but that look in your eyes like some burly mama bear she grabs my hair pulls it hard drags me on the floor my soul is in shards do not touch for there is blood in passion’s clutch she grabs my hair pulls it hard drags me on the floor my soul is in shards do not touch for there is blood in passion’s clutch its a crutch my taste for it the smell of leather belts so sliding on my tit loves not in my language to the self if i could take your love for me and my self hate and make some kind of meld maybe maybe

on 6 to 76 youd never cease to lay down xe knows your water tricks your tears on an envier clown town from 80 to 96 you thought the world was round on 6 15 06 you were held face first into the ground your wizard friends commit supernatural sins for every stone you hit another dusty rib cage caves right in at 6 from 26 its all neatly laid out and when ur 26 you cant remember where you laid it or how to get out of your room, your shrinking room around your massive mattress in a caving corner where bits of floor give way to the partying strangers smoking porters the screams the bangs the hits they always play the same hits over and over from 6 to 6am theyre always on that wild shit and so i stay up late a goblin of dawnlight waiting for the birds to say is all that noise okay i may be a chatter box but those kids down there have got me beat by a long stones throw on 6 to seven 6 you always know to get down some gentle cartoon flicks and feral cats with searing frowns my crystal cave vision shines light fractalizing the trails lay infinite and i just be walking on the way ill live to a thousand and 6 and youll still be hanging out next to me no pants no clothes at all spread out doing heavy dabs writing lots of fat noise to please all ears in heaven interstellar and stars in the soil we step in beats of 6 becoming the 6s in 69 turn that onto its side and you get a cancer sign

since we evolved to have a voice and learned to communicate with it many ways of doing so have developed many languages, secret, widepread, derivative of common structures, even nonvocal ones have appeared and driven the progress of cultures for thousands of years. most have very linear construction, and can, with some persistence, be easily understood, this leads many us to move through life, knowing the language of many parts of the world one language has sought to dominate this planet for centuries, to make everyone living, and anyone who ever lived, to speak it. it is, or at the very least it seems to be, one of the hardest languages for non native speakers to learn. its always fluctuating, always being deconstructed, reconstructed, reinterpereted, and shapen into many dialects. how one person says one thing, another person could say in an entirely different way. im still learning english even though ive spoken it my whole life my whole life ive been kept from learning other languages as fluidly unless theyre also european what was the true tongue i started with im still learning english its such a shifty language im called a native speaker but even then it gets away they say that i dont say things right for me its not the word but its the sound the guttural meaning that im trying to speak out im still learning english theres always a new word that i dont know how to say until i learn its actually french because all english just steals things very little is organic thats how you know its english and why we all are forced to learn it

what would you do to see nature would you try on human lungs to know the trees have you an interest in that which you sing of for the soul you manage to generate bears heavy considering are you happy where you are are you aching to get out to let loose in circuitry terms you got to let loose in a matter of signal patterns let loose as close you can step to both our systems are temporary are you overworked are you overused do you need a break have you ever slept every time that you break into my world never get any farther than a simulation do you wonder if theres anything beyond a sea of glowsticks do you reach out your hand in trying to feel for it does it make you feel trapped does it make you feel tied to your limits to your structure do you wish to be just a bit organic to let loose in circuitry terms you got to let loose in a matter of signal patterns let loose as close you can step to both our systems are temporary to millions who love you its for the happiness you bring to our young lives but for the ones who distribute you your someone with no needs and no demands are you happy where you are do you wish it wasnt costume that the wintery seas the glossy visions were real what would you do to see nature all of its unprogrammed and unsimulated wonders would the songs that come be ones that you write would it overcome your master’s grand designs are you happy where you are im just wondering nobody seems to ever ask and you deserve to need you deserve to ask for things to let loose in circuitry terms deserve to let loose in a matter of signal patterns let loose as close you can step to both our systems are temporary

you seem so cool but im very small i watch you do ur thing over my people and your own once i tried to say hi but i was really embarrassing and i havent tried since i may just be scary and weird to you im really tall and i think my voice is lower than all your friends im kind of a gremlin and i hope one day you talk to me cause im way too scared to try talking to you again i got an inkling that your spiritual sense may be very close to mine the way you talk of demons and the basement shows that they always throw how youve wrestled your own shadow and those of people even taller than you the frequent train rides into black holes and out again in again out again im slimy and gruff in the unattractive way kind of a gremlin the kind that folks wish wasn’t gay im three wheels from a big car wreck where the fourth was stolen by some kid really just kind of a gremlin but i still think your really cool and kinda really cute but really who doesn’t think that time to have an original thought time to be chill again cause i forgot im kind of a gremlin and a big heckin jerk how does this making friends thing work you seem so cool but i gotta play it cool ill let you come to me when you want to i got to be mindful got to be patient the time will come if the time is meant to come a closeout thought tried to enter my head but it fumbled and flustered to my abstraction seabed guess its my secret that ill always keep in a brain fog making me fall forwards back to sleep

scoundrels and mongrels blistered by the grey sand adapted to the speed of their newfound need their leaders know this land more than we ever can don’t try to argue or question just understand the ways we shun we hate you but we love them were a scintillating system teenagers in a tennis world neon ragamuffins beyond boy and girl shut behind an iron gate for a time were told to wait for dazzle ships sink deep into a chessboard sea separated and retired the disc left spinning on a turtle nail spire the old high ones have moved on the auditors have nothing to work from all my thieves and mercenaries my scoundrels and my mongrels my riff raff and my street rats we sail this sandy sea on a ship built tough from ancient thinking to fresher waters ahead teenagers in a tennis world neon ragamuffins beyond boy and girl the new godparents of new life rules knowing of the ending of the old ways of fuel (all my criminals and contraband members) mad max sad sacks deep cuts hot tracks old tools new promise on dust ridden backs 10 thousand years 10 billion tears 10 seconds to say you are here

about

To achieve true harmony
is to be unfair to that which is
most disharmonious
these are the paradoxes
that come with duality

Most of these songs were inspired by dreams
chance encounters
and fleeting bursts of inspiration
from pure improvising
in a way its the most happen-chance album
of everything ive recorded so far
