11 track album with two books of artwork to illustrate and expand on the content within.
Drums, two basses, a Javanese gender, saxophone, poetry, rap, and holler, this album offers a slice that differs from the rest of the musical outpourings from Aotearoa New Zealand.
A beautiful gate-fold package, heavy on image, lovely to hold and explore..
Includes unlimited streaming of Transit
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
No one likes mirrors
Unless it’s what we like to see
A storm of smoke and horror
Always shifting in periphery
Love it when ourselves reflect
The flaws all photoshopped unseen
And believe the centre of this universe
Is a continent called ME
Accept me as your online friend
Gratify, again, repeat
Consumption brings fulfillment’s gain
Will I ever be complete?
Contentment gained at twice the price
CREATIVE is a season’s theme
Raised to reach for highest hopes
And settle for a shopper’s dream
This wasteland of new wonder
Offline is out of beat
Where convenience feeds opinion
Here there’s new and obsolete
With no sense of really how it was
And less of how the market schemes
We bailed out the failed capital
And let nostalgia reign supreme

Damn, I wish I could've helped release more of this band's music. You know there's a whole album of unreleased recordings! Best band in Australia at the time. tenzenmen
