CLICK HERE TO READ A BRAND NEW GOOD SWEET BLACK PINE CIRCLE DEAD TIMES INTERVIEW THING WITH CALVIN MARKUS.

"dead times (travis bunn & calvin markus) make dark, surreal, aurally unsettling, lynchian art-punk that paints nightmarish wet-dreams vivid enough to make frank booth blush. they have released a small collection of freely downloadable, disturbingly beautiful works with ambiguous and esoteric names like, "a loose portrait of body", "nature nosebleed" and "midnight glass" that reflect the immense thought that goes into their art."

Watch this, Black Pine Circle, the visuals.


The visuals allocated in this video were made specifically to enhance and detonate a dream-state wakefulness within the viewer. If sounds could manifest into visuals, what would they look like? The answer is layered, it can only be picked away at, slowly and obscurely, like a scab on the skin of creativity...

we made a song called "wet static" for the voidism volume one compilation. you can download it for free off the site. it is a song that will show you a side of dead times you never thought you'd hear. 

"beyond thought, body, race, gender, and form there is a static undercurrent, a space, a void of perception where the thickest balance of consciousness and subconsciousness, form and free-form, harmony and dissonance, structure and chaos, all coexist (an inner equilibrium). arts purpose is to document our moments of intense emotion, to communicate with deeper levels of existence. if we're made of stars we want to feel it. our antenna's of expression will mirror the universe. voidism isn't a declaration of answers, it's a celebration of the mystery. tell your friends, help spread the loose end."

some of you may know about this already but a few months ago we (dead times) released a book of experimental language, illustrations, and music called ’ a loose portrait of body’. a venture into surrealist automatism. 'connecting' with the subconscious mind. the first pressing was of fifty copies, which are now gone.

we now are re-releasing it and re-inventing it. the new version has the musical overture by morgan henderson that is up on our player and it also has updated text and a new introduction. this new version is limited to twenty copies.

it is beautiful and is something that you want to have in your book shelf or coffee table or night stand or backpack.

message us if you are interested. hope you are doing well.

for an awesome review of midnight glass go here

1. Stellar Souls
"My ghost will follow you home
My ghost will swallow you whole"

2. Warp Rhythm
"Like if all of your star stabbed dreams
Were to melt into one sick cream
To rub on the thighs of material eyes
To rub on the thighs of material lies
Yeah all the children are eating knives
Hoping the suck on the iris of the public eye"

3. Dried Black
"Attic soul... Please don't go"

4. Affair
"You can grind on octaves like teeth
You can swim in the deepest mystery
We'll open in your eyes
Yeah all of your friday nights
Yeah all of your saddest sighs
Will be left behind"

5. Blank Head
"Yeah they already know
So it's our time to go"

6. Downpour
"Do these chords fill your wounds with hope?
Or do these notes fill your wounds with corn?
Let me in and I'll fill you up"

7. Mirrors in Reverse
"Keep our mirrors reversed
Keep our fears dispersed
Wait no, wait don't
We'll fuck on the mountain tops
Until somebody calls the cops
We'll plant our seeds like souls
And they'll grow into a free-form black hole"

8. Orphan Blues
"Baby please don't walk out on me."

9. Ghost Orgy
"Ooh"

10. Moonlit Lies
"Mmm"
