yolk: orange sun night


























orange sun night is a hardcore dissociation album featuring raindrop keyboards mixed with brush snare and tender oboe. It's an album of disproportions, of mixed signals, of up and down. The music works against a series of violently crystalized lyrics popping into the drift like shiny metallic grasshoppers against a linoleum campsite. The fire on the floor is LED and bright as eggwhite.

All too often, indeed as part of the closing parade and grand finale, you will be tempted to eat your own head as though it were a delicious sugar mushroom cloud muffin made of cranberries and Southern Comfort. Don't do it. Your wound will only be soldered shut with a near absolute zero cake icing dispenser.

"beware brittle fingers" is the way the album begins: "Toy girl dolls in mini-skirts and neon/Mouths them needling shut and open the door/With razors." The sound engineer even added a Johnny Depp giggle to the "Cinderalice in Boom-Boom Land" track. It's messed up.
