about

In 2016 I woke up in a basement looking for a pen to draw what I had seen in a dream. I had seen a man, impaled upon a vast syringe reaching up into the night. And running into the syringe were tubes of green light running across the dark landscape in tubes like capillaries all feeding up into the syringe. And above the body was the man's spirit, arms folded across his chest, at peace.

I scribbled a sketch of this all down in my notebook and over the next 5 years, the image became a story. The man slowly became Julia. The year became 2210.

Julia gets invited to The Church of Humanity by a friend. At a church group, she get introduced to a drug called Banenthene, a cognitive lubricant that allows the mind to accept therapeutic virtual realities. Slowly, she slips deeper into the world of Banenthene and farther from the world she had known.

At the beginning of this project, our dear friend, Alec Eagon loaned us an 8 track Otari tape machine. It seemed fitting that a story about reality should be recorded on something real. I watched the reels spin as Abby sang 'Snail Shell'. Abby clicked record as tape flowed across the magnetic tape heads as I played drums on 'Any Feeling'.

Our little dachshunds grew up as the album took shape around them. These were years that I will remember forever. The frustrations of learning drums from scratch, the tears running down my cheeks when everything clicked in our hearts when Abby wrote the guitar melodies for Snail Shell.

Though we recorded over 20 songs for the album, it was these 10 that told the story more truly than we could.

We are in gratitude to:

Alec Eagon, for the gift of analog tape.

Tyler Burns, for the infinite well of his knowledge.

Megan Hughes for teaching me real music.

Tim Hochstedler @ Synapse Audio, for fixing everything.

Our parents, for deciding to have us instead of their time and money.

Nils Knudsen and Andrew Zeke for building these ideas with us on bass and drums.

Withheld w/o Her [B-Sides]
by Amish Rage

Peer into a human heart, where there are not things at all but where the smoke of love and sorrow mix until they can no longer be separated again. This is simply the best album I have heard in years. Latlaus Sky
