if this is something that you wanted you know the way you act so cunning makes me feel so low right here where you wanted go ahead and try it just to see how it goes you finally ran away oh you finally ran away where the race wont go but what i really needed was a place to wake up where i feel so whole to feel so whole go ahead and try it just to see how it goes this life was never promised it grew like a rose from the tears in my clothes the pain poured down upon us we were drowning in the rain with the water so cold you finally found a friend oh somebody to think back on when your body grows old but what you really needed was a place to wake up where you feel so whole

in the world of the drowned well let me just say that nothings a game living out in the pine strapped to the floor but were a moment away i put a rose on a grave and the piss rains down and washed it away theres no room to fight cause you know we love the violence and the veil of the pain you know we love the violence and the veil of the pain you dont even know my name now i caught you in a lie and the story has changed they say theres peace when you die spoken by those still alive its just more of the same i put a rose on a grave and the piss rains down and washed it away theres no room to try cause you know we love the violence and the veil of the pain you know we love the violence and the veil of the pain

about

Primarily recorded during a transitional move, "Metta World Peace" embraces new sonic textures and ideas while returning to the bedroom experiments of 2020's "Premium Drifter" and the many cassette-only releases since the project's inception.

Featuring contributions from Evil Pimp, Andres Chavez, N8NOFACE and Adam Klopp, a primary production approach was the cut and paste sampling of my favorite hip hop albums paired against fun and spontaneous collaborations with artists I love.

This record solidifies a commitment to the blueprint that's been in play all along: a stream of consciousness output removed from the confines of "the album cycle" inspired equally by boredom and Guided By Voices. My comfort zone has always been the demo and everything that follows has felt complicated and forced at times. This celebrates my love for writing songs and ignoring the rest.

"Metta World Peace" is available on limited LP and cassette via Cercle Social Records. Visit our bigcartel to purchase.
