Christopher Chaney Great stuff, guys. I saw your post on r/cassetteculture and gave it a listen and immediately bought the tape. I also don't want to spend my life living in a computer. I might try to steal your dog though. Favorite track: Elon (Take Me Home).

gniewmaks Thanks for making cool music. Really digging the guitar work and the tempo. Found you through a band member's askreddit response a coplue of days ago, typically I don't find anything worthwhile in such self-promotions but boy am I glad i checked your link out. Favorite track: Elon (Take Me Home).

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." Cause I’m dumb Not that fucking dumb Say it will trickle down But your just pissing on my face Gotta enough to eat at home, You got yours, we don’t matter No I won’t lick the crumbs off your plate You think What you think that I’m dumb? Not that fucking dumb Another Kleinburg kid Has wrapped a Porsche around a tree ‘That where the moneys gone? Cause fuck the poor and needy They’re all selfish and greedy To you Its true Cause you now know Were staring Were at the abyss You know we’re staring And I don’t even feel surprised I knew it would come to this Because you know It’s wearing The sound of your lips You know it’s wearing Lying through your teeth tonight I knew it come to this Why can’t you just fucking settle down? Or lie asleep like your brother When you gonna listen up? Before we kill each other And if you know it isn’t true, Than a sharp lady comes to you You should just end it now, Or fall asleep like your brother Bye bye so long Yea I'm not dumb I am not dumb Were not dumb Not that fucking dumb

I crashed my car I spun out on the highway It’s so self-driven that I could not take a sick day I don’t know how to code We simulate, we simulate affection You hook me up I still feel depression I can’t code human woes I want to spend my living a computer Elon take me home Save me from my student loans Swipe left Swipe right On me tonight So swipe right I pull the plug I pull out my intestines Capitulate? I want to feel authentic I don’t know how to code Planned obsolete I’m planned to expire A master stroke But you ain’t a designer Technical overload I want spend my life fucking a computer Elon take me home Save me from this melting globe Elon take me home Send me to your Martian dome Swipe left Swipe right On me tonight So swipe right Dying out in a warehouse here Broke as fuck and my rents in arrears Got a message from you tonight Hot and Ready But it’s for a price You swipe left, not fucking right I don’t want to be a ghost tonight You swipe left and lean to the right I’m going to die alone tonight Elon take me home Dance dance dance dystopia Elon take me home Dance dance dance dance dystopia

Tried to talk to you And the last thing you said That “I needed you” But now you're fucking dead Six feet in the dirt Oh, they smothered you Barley tombstone To the otherworld I feel like you are out there I carry you inside I still see your face When I’m closing my eyes I feel like you are out there In the waves by the shore And I hope that you are smiling Like you once did before Six feet in the dirt Oh, they smothered you Barley tombstone To the otherworld I feel like you are out there I carry you inside I still see your face When I’m closing my eyes I feel like you are out there In the waves by the shore And I hope that you are smiling Like you once did before

You let up I let down Tires burning screeches Can't pick my feet up off the ground “It's a long shot, but a chance” you say A waning opportunity You let up I let down I hold up You hold on To nights in my apartment Your clothes balled up on the ground You’d wake me up when you can’t sleep Conveying disillusionment I hold up You hold on Are you everything? Are we feigning our embrace? Why am I afraid I will throw it all away? I'll keep your kings in line in the back of my mind Don't let me go You give up I give out "Strangeways, Here We Come" again The last track's fading out Eight months 'till we convocate Ghosts are dancing on our graves You give up I give out Are you everything? Are we feigning our embrace? Why am I afraid I will throw it all away? I'll keep your kings in line Don't go And in the end we’ll sing songs never meant

about

Llarold was a summer 2019 project. It is a four song EP that deals with the politics of love, loss, isolation, and the late-capitalist narrative that techno-oligarchy can save us from our problems.
