"Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us, same as it ever was, same as it ever was."
I like to imagine this album as waking up in a dark room tied to a chair without knowing how you got there as a weird man in a big suit yells at you about his hands and the properties of facts and shapeshifting faces while awkwardly flailing his arms around in an attempt to dance.
Favourite Tracks: Once In A Lifetime, Born Under Punches, The Great Curve, Crosseyed And Painless [First added to this chart: 07/28/2017]
