A strange, somewhat grim vehicle of electropunk-inspired industrial pop nonsense. I've been told my lyrics verge on the slightly intense. With effortless underg
I'd love to sound more like :Wumpscut: or Katscan or someone like that but I'm afraid that's unlikely. I've spent too many years looking for proper industrial punk bands and the sort of hairy European misanthropes that float my boat, but come up empty, so I thought I'd do it myself. That said, I cringe listening to my own tunes - which unfortunately I've been known to do sometimes; possibly because they're all gloriously unhinged. I suppose Jandek and Suckdog are role models as well then. Does this break the 'evil Nihilistic bleakness' third wall a bit? I always wonder that about industrial and post-industrial groups. They all sound so sensible and dour. That said, I'd like to think my real life is somewhat grim, and I'm not just moaning on about Nazi zombies or cybernetic hookers or something. You get a lot of dental references in my stuff. Much as I try not to glorify it, that's probably because I've been known to chew sweet dripping fuck out of myself on occasion and would at least like to be allowed to complain about that decidedly unorthodox state of affairs occasionally. The attitude of Whitehouse, Brighter Death Now, Swans and Painslut filtered through the crappy techno pop bleepery of whatever modern toss I'm subconsciously influenced by, I suppose. Right, that's enough bands name-dropped. Just listen to it if you're curious.

Lyrics
Slime Staring at the ceiling Of another empty feeling Sitting by the window in the pouring rain Self-destructing organism Pumping out this sour jism Through my pale, polluted prism It’s just all the same Silent hate pushed under knuckles And my sanity buckles Tripping over itself just to get away Neon insects scuttling round me That cockroach light has bound me And I only ever wanted to come out and play So set a course for nowhere Slipping out of time If I offer up my glass to you You fill it full of slime I question my sobriety Integrity and piety The things I always want to be Now rust stains the sublime Pregnant with nothing Embryonic decay Gibbering back through gutters To the splinters and the slaves Down where we belong Where we somehow know we’ll stay Take a hit off that hatred From the other side of flames The cruelty around me I will never understand If God exists I can’t believe it’s turned out like He planned I stare into the sun until its rays burn me blind I clot my eyes to block out everything that is unkind But back there through the distance I can still hear the screams Of a million mouths crying out the death of their dreams A black moon carved from slug meat Where skinned shadows gnaw wet pain Twenty years from anything And I’m sat there again So set a course for nowhere Slipping out of time If I offer up my glass to you You fill it full of slime I question my sobriety Integrity and piety The things I always want to be Now rust stains the sublime Pregnant with nothing Embryonic decay Gibbering back through gutters To the splinters and the slaves Down where we belong Where we somehow know we’ll stay Take a hit off that hatred From the other side of flames And set a course for nowhere Slipping out of time If I offer up my glass to you You fill it full of slime I question my sobriety Integrity and piety The things I always want to be Now rust stains the sublime Pregnant with nothing Embryonic decay Gibbering back through gutters To the splinters and the slaves Down where we belong Where we somehow know we’ll stay Take a hit off that hatred From the other side of flames
