“Ochre came early on in the recording process of the album. For me, it recalls a beast stealthily moving through a dark space, or a strange ritual unfolding in moonlight.” - Chris Hunt

"It was refreshing to contribute to a track that is focused on creating atmosphere and feeling rather than simply capitulating to the endless regurgitation of standard verse/chorus structure. It is grounding to reconnect to the building blocks of music making that are elemental and emotional, and I wish I got to do it more often.” - Jake Duzsik from HEALTH

Lyrics:
Trust
Too much trouble
Hearts like open sores
You want
Too much trouble
Hearts like open sores
So I’ve been living alone

Cruel to love
Cruel to want to love
To love

No one now
Sees their form
No one else
Nothing
No one now
Sees their form
No one now
Sees beyond

Grown apart
Too much damage
Grown apart
Too much to salvage
We’ll both return to nothing
We all return to nothing

L.A.-based James Shaffer and Atlanta-based Chris Hunt converged in early 2022 in Downtown Los Angeles while working on songs for singer Xhoana X. Their kindred interest and backgrounds in dramatic texture, electronics and experimentation inspired an improvisation-based recording process which seeks to explore a sonic universe defined by evolving atmosphere, cinematic noise and select collaborations with other artists.
