lyrics
(Tonya Combs a/k/a Bondi)
I am the listener
Well before there was something to be said; I was hear.
Many have argued whether or not sound would exist without me,
But what is often overlooked in the midst of these debates is the true importance of the relationship between sound and those who perceive it.
Sound can be defined as something that can be heard but in essence is a cycle of vibrations that move through matter.
As the listener I vow to maintain the ability to define these vibrations and therefore amplify them with my actions. It is in my hands to allow what I hear to fade to silence or be given meaning. As these actions remain I become the echo that prolongs the life of a sound. And as sound is essentially a movement, Ultimately, the fate of a movement lies within me.. the listener.

I'm not really sure why I slept on this album for so long. Oh that's right, I prefer the blue pill to the stark reality of our morally defunct society as presented in this brilliant piece of work. This album is a poignant combination of rage, desperation, and just enough hope to force my eyes open.

Calm and lackadaisical but never without a hint (an overdose) of melancholy. Sadistik's understated delivery sports only a shadow of the energy of earlier releases. The instrumentation, with its clean angelic vocals paired with broken piano and string chords feels like it embodies the distant observation of beauty from below that pervades the entire album.
