Artist commentary:

Redditstuck: (Bandcamp description)

Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded
I do not know whether a man or a woman
—But who is that on the other side of you?

Kal-la-kal-la: (composer, booklet commentary)

Unreal city,
Over the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.

With this track I attempted to embody the eerie feeling I associate with Derse. The track is in 7/4 because that’s the best time sig, with various industrial drum loops that were originally in 4/4 cut together to create the beat. There are various elements that aren’t in sync with the rhythm of the track and are more textural than anything else, intended to represent the sound of things heard far away. The piano track is particularly inspired by the piano from the song ‘Condition Oakland’ by Jawbreaker.

HeyItsKane: (track artist, booklet commentary)

I decided I wanted to try and do a detailed image of derse, because the song is about derse and i’m apparently a masochist.
