strung forth by a mirror's dream.
dysphoria lingers below.
to achieve synchroncity;
for two and two to make four.
to quell envy, to look aside and not above.
to never again be left pining, wanting...
a haven conceptualized in words,
shelter forged by literary walls.
i glance upon the screen, i read
and i see myself as i feel that i am.
to quell envy, to achieve inner peace,
to never again envision myself as another...
...all to hear you sing your songs of praise.
to paint myself the shades that you stole.
to claim this temple as my very own;
to be mine in the vein i was once yours.
one of the bands that really helped me define the sound i wanted to capture with Everdread. as dreamy and hazy as it is sludgy and heavy. this record's atmosphere is a force to be reckoned with. Everdread
post-punk, but heavy. asa's voice is one of the most distinctive i've ever heard. the guitar tones on this album range from dense and crushing to gentle and swirling. late night contemplation music. Everdread
fellow Mississippians who i take a lot of influence from. their music is a little hard to describe, but it's equal bits ambient and soulful as it is clanging and heavy. extremely recommended. Everdread
