    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    I saved a few copies for myself - and I'd like to see them amongst friends and fans.
    Pressed in France in 2021 at the Diggers Factory using all recycled materials in a plant operating on solar power. These records are printed on Calcium Zinc, in potential health fear to vinyl. This record was initially shipped to the US in empty cargo space headed from Europe to New York anyways (like carpooling or something). I self released the initial 200 copies, this being essentially what's remaining.
    These copies may have been played on my record player or spun at a party or something, but they're all in new condition. There are only 7 copies.

about

With the last screw screwed - all seems complete. What was once a box, now dubbed the "Space Time Machine". There was no need to be clever - this box just needed to work. The gang had done it. As they entered the complex yet strangely simple device - Legs stopped to wonder where exactly he was headed. As the three had never spoken about the intentions of where things were going. Legs could only presume it was somewhere better off than Epoh. What really was home anyways? With nothing else to lose, and a minimal countdown - the box took off. Shredded to pieces and built back up again. Kaleidoscopic bits of energy washed away and put back piece by piece over and over. Rhythmic pulsing of ideas from the past and the future happening all at once. What were any of them? Once an idea, once a cartoon form, once a warm hand held, once through the lens of a piece of glass, would we ever know? The rocking ship of a box made its way through the cosmos - without the need or the help or luck of a shiny piece of metal. The crew had done it, they did something in the midst of everything and nothing.

lyrics

Is the world still a wobbling ball?
Always on the brink of losing everything
I’m out of focus and I’m out of time
I avoid the thought of all the ways I’d end up dead

I’m an apeman
Just a broken star
Who once was a spaceman
That traveled too far

I’m a domino
Set to cruise control
Just a plastic bag
Soaked in Alcohol

I’m a TV
Stuck on static
With background commercials
Just causing havoc

I’m loping through the cosmos
One day to be a fleck of dust
Who dreamt to be a rockstar
And worried about gun lust

For now it could be easy
If I let it
For now it could be easy
Just set it and forget it
