Two Way Mirror
That's what Im gonna show you
Well you can see what you want to
Cause now we're stepping over the line into this Illusion
Cause everybody Is only made up.
Two Way Mirror
Well is it your soul that you don't remember who's looking right back at you ?
Drilled down to the core of the face inside a two way mirror -
Still denied
Cause never dying feels such a long time since I called your name
I haven't been counting the lines on my face now to be found
Like you left me inside silvered glass -
A snake hidden in grass who bit the hand it despised
Reflecting every single sin concealed within this two way mirror
Side by side
When you're done and when the time has come
In the silence of morning when the diamonds are cold and frozen
Out into the open and exposed to landslides and avalanches
Well I know The Mysterious Oz is not anywhere but everywhere
And cleanly spliced by scalpels of paradise
It's inhuman
Two Way Mirror

Evil Genius Is the trait of the modern man
Incubated In an artificial mind
Here at the bone mill We've been grinding down unicorns
Bottling the magic And Keeping it on demand
trip trap Who's that crossing my bridge?
fee fi fo fum Can you smell the stench?
Coz you've been living in a cliche
Well Once Upon A Time
- The End -
Number One Son Always got your game on
And That's right
So Draw that gun
Can't shake the feeling
That something's going to happen
Injecting Ice
Is the aim of this operation
And the smell of desperation
Reminds me of Sweet Perfume
And Mmm
well, you know Poison tastes so fine
Ha ha - yeah we're drunk on power
So rich and sickly
And it's always open
Down at The house of incarceration
It's getting rowdy
Number One Son Always got your game on
And That's right
So Draw that gun
Can't shake the feeling
That something's going to happen
Bottling the magic And Keeping it on demand
Injecting Ice
Is the aim of this operation
And the smell of desperation
Reminds me of Sweet Perfume
And Mmm
well, you know Poison tastes so fine
you know Poison tastes so fine

Hologram

Well my Glory Days, have you now gone?
You've been waiting for your Sugarman my Hologram
And what you got to tell me? -
Because I'm under your control - But I don't mind -
I see your beauty crackle like a rainbow
Hey that's right my Hologram
We're just wanderers with nowhere left to go
Except to streak across the sky as if we're piloting a Starfighter
That strayed into the heart of a star in the waiting dark
And we're just the dreamers here to dream
And we always seem to burn it down foolishly with either love or pride
Cause in the morning there'll be sunlight
See it chase away the shadows collected around your window
Forever trapped inside this limbo we'll wait
And when you hear the sound of the wind in the night
Know we never will return
Let's leave tomorrow here to be born where deserts will drown
Hey Hologram

Tundra

For the longest time
I have been walking
Where the rivers are dry
Climb to the mountain
Up in to the yawning
Where the cold's everlasting
Trying to climb home
Skygod sings
Over the vastness
Her fanged and ragged hills
Looking down upon my body
Upon the Tundra
It is cold
It's time to fly home
There's a place that if you find it
You can climb inside
And return to fields that grew in the summer
Can’t you hear them all?

Let Me Drive

Won't you let me drive
And climb on the vibe
Of my lazy ride
I'll Lift you up
We're gonna glide
So let me drive
Shake off the animal that's living inside
Hang up the crazy life
Swinging on rainbows projecting from my mind
Into the night
Well but you better hold tight mark my words
Sunlight can melt down these walls
Won't you let me drive you
Down to the waiting ocean
Escape from out the city
Living like a kind of gypsy
We can drive somewhere new
You'll be the passenger riding in the back
And I'll be your chauffeur man
Tripping through the swaying summer breezes in your mind
Take my hand
Well you better hold it tight
And you should let me drive
The Starlight deep into your eyes
When you need rescue
I'll open the door
and we'll outrun the lightening
To leave
Before the damage gets real
Woah
I see it in you
Woah
Drive us into the sunset
So hold tight
Won't you let me drive

Gargantuan (part one)

When the fat red sun is hiding
The cold white moon shall climb up to the stars
And they're not too high for you to pull them all down
Well it don't matter your size
If you're As big as a mountain
If you're As big as the sky
For mind - No matter the size
Open eyes - Of all the colours you'll see
Love is Supreme
Gargantuan
When Life Is passing you by
We all know that feeling
Your pride is the bitterest pill
That you'll ever need to swallow
Hand gun and Laser beam
Come bite The Apple
Life is a Mystery Machine
So dream the Golden Dream of the young
If you're As big as a mountain
If you're As big as the sky
Well it's mind
No matter the size
Open eyes
Of all the colours you'll see
Love is Supreme
Gargantuan
And life can't really die
She supplied all the sugar we need
So cut me and I'll bleed
Om namah shivaya
When Life Is passing you by
We all know that feeling
Your pride is the bitterest pill
That you'll ever need to swallow
Hand gun and Laser beam
Come bite The Apple
Life is a Mystery Machine
So dream the Golden Dream of the young
Gargantuan

Titanic, dark and brooding - Like the Deftones on space drugs. And its free too!

Three epic oceanic tracks (and appropriate album art to match) that both suggest Amplifier and distinguish Sel's work outside of the band. So. Many. Guitars. Particularly excellent drumming as well. For the newly initiated, whether you start with an Amplifier album or a Sel solo release, you're going to get immersive, high quality (both production and performance) jams that can bring the subtlety every bit as much as the brute force. Bon voyage.

In The Dead, Dead Wood
by Vennart
supported by 57 fans who also own “Hologram (2023)”
I remember in my childhood near a village there was a place full of dead trees, red and dead from all the chemicals that were dumped into the nearby bay from the chemical plant. That's exactly the vibes I get from this effort, similar in story or not. Morbid! But hopefully a wake up call for some as well.

Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns.
