Start the sound Sound it out Can’t recall how to pronounce Sticky as a metronome Ants bringing picnics home The witch’s accountant Has a cauldron too A bit less scary but still a mysterious stew Never forget Never forget Never forget, even unicorns need a vet There’s a function for every function From the grass to the judge’s pen The judge’s pen writes what the judge meant

primetime 01:46
I keep thinking that there’s some other time Blu-ray, VHS, DVD rewind Keep it in a warm pile of acorns Do squirrels hibernate or just do chores? I keep thinking that there’s more Because maybe there is… I keep thinking that there’s some other time Counting all the numbers that are feeling super prime 2,3,5,7,11,13, 29 Divisible only by 1 and itself Frame it and hang it on a cozy shelf Parachute through the roof and unwind I keep thinking that there’s some other time

The house is company when it feels All alone Flush the toilet To hear the septic’s soft drone Mice in the vents Scurry to and fro Perhaps it’s just water Someday I will or won’t know Will the glass ever be out of the bed? Scattered shards from the ex-overhead Vacuumed about 23 times Always more pieces to find Perhaps it will be clear Someday I will or won’t know

box 01:33
Don’t wanna get there, prefer to be nowhere Just wanna be in the car Wanna stop moving, what’s that proving? Yawns in kinetic jars Headlights are brighter than they once were Blinds on the windshield for miles Angry at plastic, blame’s fantastic Value what is too small Covered in salt No one’s at fault Drink more water to solve Atlantic’s gigantic Solace enhancing A bigger pretzel than ever dissolved Drink more water to solve

Could just capture a laugh Make it last and last and last Mirth turns north through cheeks and brows A comfy chair and some good old pals Treasure within the toenail crud Beneath the gunk perhaps it was Percentages recalibrate from time to time But skipping along
7.
Enlarged to show texture Convincing to those who aren’t so sure Perhaps a deterrent to some discerning eyes That granulated sugar looks too square on that rectangular box of Life The ultimate transparency The brush of the wizard Can see the taste like smelling Lynyrd Skynyrd A bird likes this and a dog likes that Cats consult the suggested serving of the nutrition facts I’ll eat my seven chips I don’t care what goes with it

apple 01:44
Supernatural asshole I don’t mind Running from a hassle Takes up time Cocoons can be tombs Air can smell like fumes Pins and moments can be spare Sometimes you mean it, sometimes you swear Cross out a few words from a page It’s still hard to make the meaning change Clutching on to the vaguest of hymns Forgetting what God forbids Between the clouds and the river we live Between the clouds and the river we sing Is it really so damn loud?
9.
Stuffed with clues Speaking of the moon orbits don’t feel like moves But we can hardly choose All the clichés that felt like light years away Have skipped across the top of every canopy blaze Don’t believe in predestination per say But there are only so many outcomes at the end of the day Might as well decide with pride Sometimes living Sometimes alive

L'boar 00:58
Dayquil for the basement’s cold Sneezing into the hallway’s nostrils I know it’s gross Was the last time it spoke or the time before? Is a carpet a floor or just the fur of some foundational lore? I swear my feet glide across like an invasive boar where there were once buffalo Smoothly a bore to live devoid of anything before Or to hang on so tight and fast Where today is a yawn in a tornado And yesterday was a vast gasp
11.
Unsteady hands Can’t help but glance Demon doesn’t laugh Looks past the toilet seat With the fervor of a wind scorched tree No more pride Eagles still fly One time they nearly died Now alive but under watchful eyes Miracles and caveats in disguise Flat feels though reality is spherical 4/3 pi r cubed The core to the spiritual 4/3 pi r cubed The hopes to the nopes and every type of folks
12.
voice apart 01:09
Keep missing the nail Is there space to go over? Will it schism itself all the way... To the Cliffs of Dover? Always dim lights will change your life A mellow hunger in an unsatiated world Clutter more when under duress Once afraid of the shed The ghosts of mystery have been made more dead
13.
I take the garbage off of my garbage that holds my hummus And put it in the garbage Then I take out the garbage and bring it to the garbage Then the garbage truck comes and takes the garbage from my garbage to a bigger garbage I finish eating my hummus and soak water on the garbage to remove the remaining food bits Then I put it in a different, more optimistic garbage Where the glasses are half full But actually they shouldn’t be… or they’ll go to the other garbage Then this garbage will probably go to the garbage of earlier But maybe, due to some of its naturally advantageous traits As well as luck Survives and makes it to the slightly more optimistic garbage Natural selection towards a more evolved garbage
14.
Sixty degrees in January Thought that we were supposed to freeze Wish that I were a greenhouse gas I’d feel the warmth expand and last The rocks and the worms will have the last laugh Buried with a flag, some bags of oily cash I thought I saw the snow turn to rain Not gonna stop when there’s a new terrain

about

All music written, performed, and recorded by Crimmy

Well, not all music in the world. Just all the music on this album. And other albums that I (Crimmy, the name I was given at birth) have made.

And even this isn't entirely true, because:

Candy Andy played bass on track 3 and 6
Maxshh played drums on track 3, 4, and 10. And some bite-sized keys on track 14

Thank you both! And extra thanks to Maxshh for the endless encouragement and really pushing this album into completion. That's no exaggeration; he literally gifted me mixes and masters of this album as a birthday present--can you believe that? I still hardly can myself, but nevertheless, if there's one thing I keep learning, it's to never underestimate the powers of a good friend.

Back to business though, the good kind:

Album art by Sara Kochanski (Wishbone Zoe)
Mixed and mastered by Anni Casella (w. help and input from Maxshh)

Thanks a million to both of you as well, AND, as always, to all the great peeps in my life.
