kc2019 Amazing collaboration between two wonderful artists. Great synths plus great guitars with wonderful vocals...killer. Favorite track: Bleed For Me.

Boxface A fresh fusion of modulating, skittering electronics and tight guitar playing perfect for a cruise down the PCH. Good shit. Favorite track: Girls With Blush.

Alpha Chrome Yayo A long-awaited collaboration between two extraordinary musicians, Black Zinda is like nothing else on earth.

Shelfblack's electronically eloquent synth lines and synapse-tickling beats fuse with Stephen Zinda's hypnagogic lyricism and sparkling guitar lines to create something as inspired as it is otherworldly.

Complemented by hand-crafted artwork, it's a sometimes surreal, often emotional rollercoaster. Thoroughly cool and totally addictive.

I love it. Favorite track: The River.

Paid 05:10
Paid- Matriculate or labor? Clean up and see you later Yes, yes I checked the meter Nowhere to go but I am paid
2.
The River 04:23
It's gets me every time at night See them moving by, phasing through the side Waking up my wife in fright Ask her if she sees the thing that's in my eye When I close my eyes I'm going down to the river When I open my eyes I just can't remember Going down to the river
3.
Palm Trees 04:32
It couldn't be but two degrees and through debris I'm driving east Please take me back to palm trees, Georgia Pine, and sweet tea This dusty land is killing me I can't think of anybody that I'd wanna be their hubby Besides you my beauty, effervescing cutie No, I can't think of anybody I would trade my future, lovely There is only you girl, and I just want to please you
4.
Bleed For Me 03:20
She asked why I aim so low "Never get what asking for" Curtain flies, I need more "Come in early at the store" I've always been filled with dread Knew I'd fuck up and I did Too blessed, born with doubt Never thought "I can't go down" Rushed in your seven plans, let end Give me just one I'll take you to I'll show you what can be More than you ask me to be You said "do not think small and always take my call" But I fell in love, and she gave me love and said "Bleed for me", and So weaves the tapestry and... Leave the light on in your room to guide me back home I will arrive there when the moon casts crescent shadows Purple, blue, and green in dreams in gardens we'll roam Drink the tea and reminisce of loved ones passed on You said I want it all and I would take the fall
5.
Locust 03:41
Everybody's toneless But louder than the locust Yes it is the season I try to stay focused This is why I love you Build the foundation We can grow a garden We just need the time to I know we can see it through Find out what will come from... I once dressed to wed Let's move on but slow I want this to last It's too good to throw I once bathed in red and left it for show
6.
We had a nice run baby but we played it out and it went foul I know you think the same thing, at least we didn't wear rings I know you think the same thing, so won't you cool it Just sit right down so we can figure it out We had a nice run baby but we played it out and it went foul I know you think the same thing, at least we didn't wear rings I know you think the same thing One thing that can kill your soul is the one thing that you truly love When you left I felt a hole. The first month was very rough Then I met a girl with cold eyes I had forgotten the feeling of having a crush Sometimes I think about my arms around you Sometimes I thing about fighting at lunch
7.
Racing further, I see, to one side the stars meet the shore And the night lays down on me, the lights flicker on and off Ads of girls with blush, things I do not want, all the soul we've lost Home battered down, sun covered ground gone And I race further through the streets Rays like the sun beat down at night Am I truly soulless? Born to be soulless I want to go back in time but I don't really know the reason for this, am I blind? How can I understand the faces in photos I've seen, When I can't even read the people I see on the street? But I still feel the calling Success, we made progress, but can we progress? Progress Born to be soulless
8.
Process 03:36
It's just a process Can I make it past you? I made it my goal to carry on It's just matter of time and execution But I'm stuck now, what can it be? Do you see me like I see you? What is us? What does it matter? It's a process One that tries me Don't take me back I won't take you out like a used to Wore me out So I make progress
9.
It's Ending 04:20
Hidden in a message at sea, corny lines made for somebody "I would cut my heart out for thee, if only I could do surgery" Yeah, always wished I'd find one of those washed up on the shore at Nags Head But I only found broken glass and a mud-crab but it was dead You never say "bye" in your child mind You don't think it's ending, even when it's ending
