(Welcome back to the Electric Network on Lucky Seven FM, Your daily fix of the stranger music. Lately there's been a groove in the airwaves, there's no denying it. You can feel it in your head, you can feel it in your bones, there ain't no escape. It's gonna getcha, it's wriggling it's way across the land, from the ocean to the peaks, from the city to it's streets. It's stepping on your window, it's rapping at the locks. It invokes in me a presence of the other, not human but made of our ideas and memories, you need not be afraid... after all, it's here to stay! After all, it's a new way, of movin', of vibin'. Genesis baby say it with me, get up and dance. Get into the groove.)

Taking it on, feeling all this time Locking it down, rolling with a ticket to ride A bat outta hell, you're gonna hear this sound I'm letting it out, and you're gonna hear it well Come feel the ocean, I'm sure off just what you'll find Intuition in motion, I'm sure of keeping up this time Star spattered horizons, I'm sure of keeping up this time Simplicity often, in time, will satisfy Dead and gone, at times when you feel a bit down I'm zooming along, can't even contain myself A bat outta hell, you're gonna hear this sound And that ain't all, cause you're gonna hear it well

The Machine 06:15
I pixelate every day, calculating all of your dismay, Cashing in all of your sins, the man is the fiend, For the drug I am machine Gasoline keeps me running clean, bountiful green for which you all plead, Man is burning for all to see, from the ashes rise, I the machine Please carry on, I know that it gets hard, Stuck in the cold, With your feet slashed and sore, cut by your own path, Built and sold, To the end of the chain, where all the rich remain, self indulged, Self engulfed by the flame, and so you refrain, To take the blame, We are all stuck, to the machine, Yet we are all finished, by the machine, We are all hands, on the machine, Yet we are all finished, by the machine.

Freedom 03:31
This is reflection, I won't be making no incisions, You seek connection, so why don't we rethink this decision, Cause it's the man that has kept this down, Yes it is still buried, Deep, underground. This is defection, from the ones we are infected, Precious and sheltered, we don't need your protection, From the affected, by this evil invention, We seek connection, we need divine intervention, Ahh-ahh man, we all feel so down, Because it is buried, Deep, underground.

Walkin' 00:09

He came from one dimension, intent to slay, He paved way for emissions and hot sun for days She came from deep connection, moonlight and rain, I lost myself in question, where lies my faith? What is this world you speak of, no harm or hate? No precious life is wasted and my heart is safe We are making our way, to brave encounters of a third kind We are making our way, to brave encounters of a third kind (And as they stood there, enveloped in an awesome flame, a sudden realisation had begun unfolding within. What was this forgotten faith? Are we not here to comprehend the curious structure before us? Or are we here to accept it as it is, and unite on the journey onward) We are making our way, To brave encounters of a third kind

Follow the candlelight, Into the lonely night, No doubt what you will find, Is as lost as I, I dipped into the dive, To tackle the lonely night, It was the hardest damn thing that I had ever tried. Fists clenched tight, We fought through the night, We raced for the prize, Like everything was al - right. Feeling up tight, Feeing I can't decide, If I could confide oh, Would it be all, That right. Oh my is this just a dream? Shut down by my own machine, Separated from reality, I was hoping you'd be there with me. Through the lonely nights, Through the lonely nights, Through the lonely nights, Lonely nights.

Automated! 04:14
What's going on, again my head's tied up, What do I say, or have I said enough? How many times, must I look away? My hand shines and looks back at me (And at that moment he felt inclined, To let the machine, fill his mind.) What do I do when I find I got nothing to do, What do I find when I do and I got nothing to say, What do I do when I find that I forget how to What do I do when I find I forget how to do, What do I find when I do and I got nothing to say, What do I do when I find that I forget how to be Save me, I'm part of a man machine, Lately that I have never seen, Racing, towards the end of being, This time I better break free (At at that moment it was clear as day, That automation had taken place.) ooh wa ah ah ah, x 7 ahhhhh Save me, I'm part of a man machine, Lately that I have never seen, Racing, towards the end of being, This time I better break free

Bring it on back, and take it, Leave it intact, just fake it, Breaking your back, why don't ya take it, Leave it intact, ooh fake it (And she takes it, And he takes it, They take it) Bring it on back, I know you'll take it, Leave it intact, just fake it, Is it breaking your back? Nahh take it, Why don't you hang your head down, and just take it Ahh take it, (and she takes it) And take it, (and he takes it) x 4 And take it x 31

Lazy Bones 03:19
Woke up in the new, state of mind, Not much of a view, but I was feeling kind, Nothing matters at all, day and night oh, But that don't mean it's a false state of life, Ah Lazy bones, Lazy bones ahh ahh ahh, Lazy bones, Lazy bones ahh ahh ahh Slouched with my guitar, I better write or, Couch based with the stars, I better apply more, Ah What if I was to not, would I be alive if I, watched the hills from afar, with all this time? Yeah Lazy bones, Lazy bones ahh ahh ahh, Lazy bones, Lazy bones ahh ahh ahh, Lazy bones, Lazy bones ahh ahh ahh, Lazy bones, Lazy bones ahh ahh ahh

Winding Down 01:40

Keeping On 02:42
All the time, millions die, Waiting to grow wings and fly, But that's no life, shackled by time, If you can't unwind Cornered by, the ocean side, Flawed by the awesome sight, Forty-five minutes slide on by The stars align, the moment my, Love is right by my side, All is fine, the forest sighs, Happy to be home tonight, Forty-five years fly on by

about

Produced entirely from their home studio throughout 2020's COVID-19 crisis, 'Patchwork' is a musical combustion of emotions from throughout the year. The album conceptualises external frustrations and how they reflect internally on one's wellbeing & satisfaction in life. Packaged into 46:22min runtime & topped with their signature blend of intricate hooks & psychedelic production, the band welcomes all to join in the patchwork of getting by in today's crazy world.

Huge thanks to Todor and Maggie and so much love to everyone out there for supporting us. I can't wait for live shows to return so we can jam these tracks in person with y'all, but for now we hope you enjoy! <3
