Saint Aardvark WOW. I do not know how they channeled my 80s childhood; I can only assume vastly advanced technology that converts synth into beautiful valleys of emotion. If you can listen to "Riviera" without crying, no matter how old you are, your soul is due for a free checkup. Favorite track: Riviera.

infrasonica Sounds like a great love-making album...also sounds like a simply great album! Fantastic work. The track names are, in my opinion, disappointing, but the musical content is *excellent*. I think I genuinely like this whole album, although it will take more listens to be sure. Still, at the very worst I genuinely like practically the entire album, which is rare but always a treat for me. Favorite track was a tough call. Most of the tracks put up a very tough fight for that honor, in my opinion. Favorite track: Riviera.

Riviera 04:27
riviera new romances and last cigarettes before the dawn shivering in bright summer nights in parking lots we would not fall in love on the run from the air conditioned dungeons of the day we were shadows out in the streets trying to defeat the forces of light but we would not fall in love we would fall but not in love coming back with the bats, the sailors, the hustlers and the whores the city lights going out to sleep until night setting fire to the fields crawling back into the sea now we know how it goes can you see where the wave finally broke? we would not fall in love we would fall but not in love

Skull Drums 03:16
skull drums all you creatures of the night, don't stay inside, come out and play with fingers for claws and hands for paws and shit for brains, slyly tipping on their toes, these people think they're gonna take us home come on out of your shadows neon light spilling out your eyes the forest echoes of the pounding of skull drums tonight to the latecomers are left the bones and they thought they were gonna take us home stop wasting our time

1000001 03:25
1000001 a million and one days all cool and very clear like fear you can see very far but not as far as you have gone i can't take the nights can't fake the rush all the time and i can't fight the nights all by myself all the time there's something in the way not one in a million still hoping for a miracle for pieces of a heart that can't start beating until you call i can't take the nights can't fake the rush all the time and i can't fight the nights all by myself all the time there's something in the way
4.
treasure island lights drift by on the horizon at night pass out of sight like we were never alive the treasure that i found gonna bury it deep in the ground you've got a heart full of gold but it's cold like the night i'm building a fire to keep it alive the treasure that i found gonna bury it deep in the ground one night they'll see our fire and they'll come and they'll take you away the treasure that i found gonna bury it deep in the ground
5.
a thousand lost golf balls way beneath the waves cobblestones and SUVs flow through ancient streets, the floors of silent seas way back in libraries lost our little heads were graced with straws in the waste we found a place, a bed of broken jaws and in the night we listen to the rats scuttling over broken glass somewhere in the debris maybe there's a dream somewhere in the dark maybe there's a heart it's always night or we would not need light
6.
sunset bending you're the trouble, you're the noise that keeps breaking through the dream the one i always dream you haunt the night past the polish and the bleach, bending through the dirt, you fall into the sea you haunt the night little shell, what says the sea? at the bottom of the well you left your name you haunt the night
7.
where the ocean is almost like a dream almost like a dream then blood in the water and the fins closing in alchemizing lies, knives behind their smiles, into collections of loud tales in colorful designs concentrating eternal stupidities a nightmare hiding behind the pretty dream but its feet are sticking out its feet are sticking out there's whispering in the winds, between rocks, among the trees at midnight shadows prowl the hills, red lights revolving in the leaves if that bitch should ever disappear downstream then i won't sing no one will ever know i'll show you where the ocean is
8.
Kill Screen 03:57
kill screen in sewers underground schools of empty suits swim for their witch houses downtown wallow through the ruins try to pull the rugs of honest bears out from under the feet of the final beast the counter rolls over freezing the scene come night we watch the sky turning a kill screen the eagles up above falling off their clouds falling off their clouds falling off their clouds
9.
Hi Los 02:52
hi los big show, bright lights an oasis of horror glittering in a desert of boredom a relocation program for the cold forget everything disappear into the high lows not waiting for anything the pavement's not giving in makes the flowers look stupid down in the dark the shadows keep dancing to the echoing of the thrill but all i remember is the next drink not waiting for anything
