rough mix demo. rather heavy & grungy alternative rock. very compressed. guitar riff is pretty bludgeoning, but chorus is a tad sweeter w/ acoustic guitars layer in there. drums are both live apple loops meshed w/ some of Alan's hits/loops i made from the library i created of his hits. verses vox are very wet and delay laden harmony layers, contrasted to the drier, simpler two part harmony chorus and bridge. all guitars are tuned low to open C (C,G,C,G,C,E). used Mesa Boogie dual recto & Marshall JCM 2000 through 4 x 12 Mesa Boogie cab. solo is this weird modulating half-tone modal Robert Fripp-ish slice of revolving insanity.

i’m shrinking my head
shaping my thoughts
into a ball
no other place i’d rather be
no other way i’d like to bring you into me
i’m shrinking my skull
psychiatry
so internal
no other place i’d rather be
no other way i’d like to bring you into me
i’m shrinking my head
whittle my brain
down to one cell
i’m shrinking my mind
