Second Anniversary Post

We feel the strong need to post this today, so, today we celebrate our second anniversary. Even though we got off to a rocky start, and we just begun with one full-length studio album and we're still not popular yet, all that doesn't matter. What matters is that we have been able to endure the hardest yet best years of our existence. We would like to take a moment to speak to you all about the meaning behind our first album "Fairytale Epics" and how that connects to our purpose. Although there are no significant lyrics or vocals for that matter, it does have a meaning for all of us personally.
01 road trip gone wrong - How can a road trip become dangerous? Well, if you've driven for many hours for a very long time before, you would easily get fatigued and you'd need some sort of stimulant to pick yourself up. Anything that becomes repetitive and tedious can tire you out. That is why sometimes we need to turn on the music to better bear with it. Yet music can also be a source of distraction, especially if you wear headphones instead of using the speaker. It can divert attention from the road. And then you have to worry about whether it'll rain unexpectedly or if there will be a heavy fog. The road may be unsuitable to drive on and your car might bump a lot. And if you need to hurry up to your destination fast, you might try to speed without getting caught by the police if there's any. With all those factors taken into consideration, any one of them could result in a road trip gone wrong. And that's the inspiration behind it all. Boredom can easily make you impulsive. We know it does for many people. But we don't have to resort to a lukewarm catchy pop song to tell you that. Any genre when done right can easily reflect this fact.
02 քօɢɮᏗᏝ - Basically a battle song that you fight your opponent to but then midway you have to contemplate about why it matters and what it's all for before you finall understand and then rise up to defeat them again. If any of your fights were like this, you would get it.
03 °₊·ˈ∗♡ᶠᵒᵒˡ’ˢʳᵃᵛᵉ - A fun rave track you can dance to with your friends! But it's not all fun and games all the time. The acoustic portions are there to promote a sense of tranquility before the dance parts start. And it's called Fool's Rave for that reason. Not many people would expect jazz rock parts in a dance song unless it's a sample.
04 John Hopkins' Lymphoma - Ever seen any shows where one scene suddenly changes to the next one that seemingly has nothing to do with the prior scene or even the story itself? This is called a cutaway. They are used by filmmakers to disrupt the narrative to something else or to show a different perspective or events happening at the same time. Well, this track is about cutaways, and it patches up seemingly different sounds to create a cohesive composition. It's really more about getting into the main problem only to be met with a series of unrelated events, and when you think it's all over, you get right back into the problem, and the energy you put out into the world to get yourself in trouble again eventually comes back to you stronger.
05 ░★ᔕTᖇᗩᗯᗷEᖇᖇY♥ᗷᖇIᑕKᔕ♥ᖴᓍᖇᘿᐺᘿᖇ★░ - A mashup of our personally recreated recordings of the greatest hits of the 60's and the 70's, in collage dance-pop form, with some added recorded acoustic instruments. It's a celebration of the greatest music of all time.
06 𝓇𝒶𝓅𝑒𝓌𝒶𝓁𝓉𝓏 - Self-explanatory title. It's not always waltz, and it doesn't always rape your ears, but when it does...
07 мNTLĐł₴₵ØRDEя - It isn't very often that a dance track lasts about 16 minutes or more. Why? Creating a dance track that remains engaging and dynamic for that long can be challenging, because most dance tracks are by design repetitive and familiar. They begin, rise, peak, fall, and the cycle goes on before it finally ends. Although this one is the same way, unlike most dance tracks it actually changes it up a bit instead of just sticking to the same beat. It starts out as your typical dance track and then it turns into a more avant garde rock sound with glitch elements. And then we go right back to the dance sound where we started and then proceed to end. We believe that a piece like ours has never been tried, by anyone else before.
08 ˜”°•°₊·ˈ∗♡(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)♡∗ˈ‧₊°•°”˜ / proshchaniye - Complex but very reflective and nice. That's all we can say about it.
In conclusion, our album represents almost all the genres we are very familiar with, which are: Rock, Electronic, Blues, Jazz, and some of the more experimental styles. The tracks are there to bridge the gap between them all, resulting in an eclectic and forward thinking sound that you will probably never hear on the radio or the charts. We are planning to introduce and mix up more new and different subgenres as well as broaden our audience a bit more to accommodate trending music styles. We are also planning to incorporate vocals at some point too. You will see in our next album, "Completely Beyond Your Understanding" coming 24 Apr 2024 in what we will improve in and what will stay the same. Keep following us for more updates and information, and thanks for reading this post!
