  • Limited Edition "Phosphorus Purple" Cassette
    Cassette + Digital Album

    Apparently purple phosphorus is a thing and I honestly had no idea. It has alliteration so i was more concerned coming up with an applicable color name. I would've done iridescent purple but since that is a sheen and not a color people would think its actually iridescent and they don't make those color shells to my knowledge. A novel idea tho.

    Anyways this is a sublime and meditative epic, perfect for looking up at the moon sitting on your windowsill. Be your inner apple pie and let's look at the stars together.

    tape deets:
    - Double Sided J card featuring artwork and images
    - an entrancing purple tape with 50 minutes of ambient pop bliss
    - limited to 50 (might change) copies worldwide
    - 1 per customer please!!!

    Since this is the last sale of the year, shipping time might be kind of wonky due to the fact a lot of manufacturers take a break from Mid-December to early January in the USA.

    Includes unlimited streaming of phosphenes and iridescent lights via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

phosphenes 06:07
phosphenes bright like the color of your eyes under iridescent lights under my eyes i feel your shadow greeting the ghost of me you were the daughter of the sun and i bathed in your reflection i'll never forget how to look at the picture of our house to see how we'll dance with the birds who scream under the same sky we made our home always and forever
2.
our shadows shine bright in the sky dancing with hummingbirds and fireflies screaming our songs and feeling the ether reunite ourselves (eventually) to fall asleep together my shadow greets yours in the nightfall the memory of me feels blurred with yours (the time will come, when one day) somehow i'll need a way to be able to mourn over the death of my capability to live in reality (when I fall asleep I'll find you again to dance in the sky and sing forever when I fall asleep)
3.
desperate to find meaning where there's none covering my face to hide from those glowy eyes staring at me like cameras from tv my suffering isn't entertainment i'm praying for a psychosis to let me hear your voice one more time looking for a scenario that embraces me i want to go away, seek peace above the clouds i'm left only with my fragile counsciousness dependent on daydreams to take me to a better place and i don't know if i can count on them anymore the more it hurts, the more it seems real the more it seems i'll never be free i can't believe anymore i'll just wake up in a while and talk with you fondly about a strange dream i had that lasted an entire lifetime but i'm not giving up yet
4.
these hands aren't mine this isn't my life there's no floor for me to step phil was right. elliott and liz too mehdi and solange spoke to me all the truth i'm not awake, i'm not a part of this someday i know we'll all float together on the everlasting sea of nothingness we're just objects from the sky
5.
as nuvens feitas de prata desbotaram o céu pro sol nunca mais aparecer a neblina encharca essa estrada pra embaçar minha visão mas consigo te ver em todo lugar nas luzes acesas do alto das montanhas no canto dos pássaros que te acordava às 5 da tarde pra dar a hora de ir pra aula quando olho pra lua só lembro de você sua memória parece muito mais vívida que o mundo real sinto tanto sua falta você sempre vai viver dentro de mim vou refletir todo o amor que você me ensinou eu te amo e sempre vou
6.
não posso mais viver assim sinto que vou morrer de novo eu achava que isso iria me fazer sentir melhor mas tudo continuou o mesmo de um dia pro outro mágoas subirão sobre linhas tortas pra se esconder debaixo das estações vão desbotar a cor da estrada pra casa e acinzentar o rosa que pavimentou meu caminho antes do céu se por no fim da noite as vezes só queria que nada disso tivesse acontecido que eu nunca tivesse posto meus pés pra fora da água mas deixado o mar me engolir, lavando minha cova pra me enterrar com todos os sonhos que já deixei morrer
7.
procurando por sinais na cidade que você cresceu pra ver de novo o sol bater nos meus olhos fechados é tão intuitivo olhar pro céu pra tentar achar significado em eventos tão naturais quanto a própria vida só me resta ver pedaços de você em todo espaço que consigo tocar, ver, escutar, sentir, respirar staring at the sun, my eyes are filled with tears when i close them, i can see the reflection of stars how could the same world filled with so much sorrow be home to so much beauty, if you know where to look i kept staring at the sun for so long my eyes got numb tears covering my face, i couldn't look away how could the same world filled with so much sorrow be home to so much beauty, if you just know where to look vejo o desejo de poder olhar nos seus olhos mais uma vez mas lembro que posso te ver ao me olhar no espelho na minha reflexão, somos filhas dos astros e o mesmo sol ainda queima quando fecho meus olhos
8.
when did the city lights get so bright? the night ether used to feel so warm now i'm blinded by the weight of the sky that keeps falling on my feet every dawn please let me just fall asleep i can't go on another night and it's so hard to keep my mind clean my thoughts crumble in pain i can't stand being alone anymore please let me fill my void it gets bigger everyday it may occupy all of me so when tomorrow comes look for me somewhere else num lugar quente eu vou me enterrar será que um dia isso vai passar? o tempo corre e tudo so piora não quero ter de viver assim pra sempre não quero ter que viver por hoje eu só queria me anestesiar pra nunca mais sentir meu pescoço pressionar meu corpo contra as memórias de um futuro que nunca vou encontrar i walk on the street and my feet are covered in blood my legs are still shaking, their scars still burn i won't make it there, but i never thought i'd live much time it still hurts to see the tears falling on my corpse maybe i'm still alive i couldn't tell if so my life is a lucid dream that got too numb i want to forget everything i became and reborn in the body of a different girl maybe i'll turn into everything i was promised to be but reality knocks, i'll never be anyone else but me this is just who i am this is who i became i can't live like this i need to find my own home

about

hi everyone. this is a very deeply personal album but i don't wanna say much about it this time. i'll just say i hope it finds a way into your hearts. thank you for everything

we also recorded some visuals, check it out

it's so intuitive to look up to the sky to try to find meaning
on such events as natural as life itself
I can only see pieces of you on every space
that i can touch, see, hear, feel, breathe

I see the desire to be able to look into your eyes one more time
but I remember I can see you again when I stare in a mirror
on my reflection, we are daughters of the stars
and the same sun still burns when I close my eyes
