  • Diptych - DELUXE VERSION
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This very limited deluxe version, in an edition of just 65 copies, comes in the form of a “Time Sensitive” hardcover book—embellished with clock parts/faces/hands on the outside and collaged inside with antique, blue tinted engravings of Greek and Roman statuary that have been modified with gears, springs and other horological workings, in a pseudo-steampunk fashion. Each of the initial 65 copies has wooden edging, vintage wooden instructional musical note blocks corners, and comes with factory pressed disc and hand printed insert in a mounted, midnight black envelope.

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

lyrics

Oh, oh to be
A guard dog
It feels fine!
No one escapes
Your guy

Stare close and deep
At the whites
Of his eyes
You make the call
Aim, fire

Oh, the people look on
All in shock and appalled
Vague, the nature of hate
It leaps over gates
It slithers through bars

Stare long and hard
That old judge
He looks down
Feet on the floor
Stand your ground

Kid, candy bar
You’re young
You’ll go far
Many have fallen before you
For you

Do your citizen part
Make your countrymen proud
Fuck law by failures and freeloaders
By criminal coddlers
And bleeding hearts

You may go by many names while vigilante justice stands
But a lot has changed since God created man
In your television brain a good cop never turned and ran
He rushed forward with a gun in his fat hand

When the white man waves his dick around he makes us people dance
He’s conducting to the whistle overhead
