from this past summer run with Behold The Arctopus and Mouth Of The Architect. We are idiots.

2/5 Los Angeles, CA @ Knitting Factory (main) w/ 16, Giant Squid, Black Math Horseman

tons of new and old designs now all available in one place, courtesy of our pals at Warlord! and someone besides us is managing it, meaning it won't take two months to get your shit!

We've been getting a lot of requests for these, so here you go:

The Literal Black Cloud

The sheep play their war game
In the literal black cloud
There are so many rules to follow
A lifespanning series of reactions
You breathe in the filth
and in your perspiration it absorbs
a cycle as old as ones life is long
everyone has always agreed

Cavernous Den Of Shame

narrowly escape the storm engulfing
run aground in waters evaporating
infinite cycle wants an ending
Asking questions without answers
Bliss was never knowing
The hunt was better than the kill.

Prehistoricisms

Reactive mass
Handed down from the past
The clearest path
No questions asked
In the name of rhetoric
Prophecies are fulfilled
Programmed to react
Hardwired banalities
Resistance to what
Judgement is a hindrance
Theres much more to see
Without your own two eyes


Any Port

we stand at its feet
and stare it straight in the eyes
and strap up
and set out
to be unchained
from the chains
halfway up we'll pause
and gag at the stench
and think
at least its something
and feel the sting
swimming in dead skin
theres no coming up for air

Sundial

Night turns into day
Shadows shrink away
Under noon's harsh light
The promises of night seem empty
The soft underside
Of life surrenders to the knife
day turns
into night
shadows grow longer
dark's beckoning
grows stronger
mystery recedes

Australopithecus

detached from reality
withdrawn from the game
tiptoeing around logic
catalyst dried up to a muddle
words will forever fail
perpetual and steady separation
parched nerves drink the life out of you

The "Ultimate Brodeo" US tour with Mouth Of The Architect and Behold... The Arctopus is going great so far. Thanks to all the people coming out to the shows, I would already consider this tour a success. To start with, it's great being on tour with dudes you've known for years, and when all the shows are awesome it's just icing on the cake.

Info on the new record is that you should buy it when it comes out on September 16th.
