[STATE OF SOUND] Hit My Head On The Horizon, Had A Bleed Edition: New Artists Soundcast #15
STATE OF SOUND is a Sights and Sounds feature where I select new electronically focused bands of stratospheric level quality that’ve been hanging around the periphery of the blogopshere’s vision (just waiting to be discovered). I select only on quality, but try to shoot for Soundcloud/Facebook followers of <6000. If you’d like to be considered for a soundcast, message our Senior Editor Kavi at the contact on my page.
THIS TIME: Hit my head on the horizon. Of my feelings. Of a literal fucking wall. Of all the constructed walls I use to tell myself yeah.you’re.not.fucking.feeling.that. And I can ride a motorbike across the open plains of Thailand. 150 kp/h kicking my eardrums’ ass. Kicking me one wrong turn from a killer slam into Siamese concrete. Still feeling nothing. Cos I’ve got walls upon walls of concrete built around my skull. Turn my head, hit a wall. Try to smile, cut open my chin. Burst with love, burst open all my brain’s blood vessels. At least the bleed feels real. Bleed out long enough, I can escape.

I feel nothing
Chemicals, all unbalanced
I can turn water into wine
It’s like we’re getting
High on our own supply
And I don’t know when I began
To live this way

Ephemeral stop
Melancholy town

I take one more sleepless night
Then book myself the cheapedt flight
To give my head some time to clear
Can’t think what I’ve done
To get me here
