    Sold Out

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    We recently uncovered some previously rejected yet PERFECTLY PLAYABLE copies of this popular release! These black vinyl copies were originally rejected as "smudgy" and "dirty," quite far from the quality of the rainbow hued vinyl of the official limited edition (now sold out). Curiously, under current lighted inspection, they don't seem to look that bad at all!

    Whatever. We are now putting them on the market at deep discount, along with smeary rejected versions of the letter press chipboard jackets that I also held onto (wisely, I guess!)

    At the risk of redundancy, THESE RECORDS SOUND AS PERFECT AS THEIR FANCY PRETTY ANTECEDENTS.

Words and Music by Williams

lyrics

It's a patch of fog in purgatory.
It's the tired epilogue of a tragic story.
It's the afterward and the denoument.
It's the index and the codex and the coup de grace.

I was fenestrated
that's right, thrown into a window
up from the street
and into a mouth
with someone else's teeth.

It's the Sandy Claws of the Easter Fairy.
It's an ice cream cone that falls in a cemetery.
It's c'est La Vie and c'est La Guerre.
Es lebe Deutschland and God bless Amer.

They devoured him like food
inside of a toy.
Spirits atrophy
for the daddy of this house
who's mother of his own catastrophe.
