this one was released at the start of 2018 to Neetspeak Records, as the first part of a scheme to get it on tape. Due to a couple issues including a friend going through enough bullshit to push him to get off the net permanently led to these tapes essentially falling into the void.

This was also the last album I did for a long time, coming in after Cold Too Fast and well before Rituals + Similar Bullshit, and it's pretty obvious on listening again - this was right at the start of my move to Washington, and I was exhausted the entire time. Personal life shit (a mere fragment can be read about on my twitter if you ask nicely) left any creative energy I had sapped. My musical output is, to put it bluntly, kinda obviously a bunch of bullshit and I know it - big fat chunks of known songs beaten into another, far less pretty shape - but this album has song big spots that I frankly think should've been left in the fire longer (deepweb bootleg hrt eventually gets somewhere I like but the intro literally just being the actual song's intro slightly layered on top of itself is a clear example I should've taken a breather, when they find you give them hell is just a cover of "Fuck The Police" with a fucking altered sample of me hitting a fucking plate).

Recollecting the fragments around this one is really interesting to me, both literally in gathering the files and such (there was a fucking press kit I made of just snippets I used for album covers and whatnot that were tweeted for like a week building up to the original release) and just walking back over the time this came out. It's here for completion's sake, and free - the Neetspeak version was an enforced $7 and came with the tape that never happened.

If you're one of the few people who hit that (I know of like two already) hoping for physical, lemme know, I'd love to shoot the shit and send you a 1x1 square of my flesh to make up for it
