I always wake up in haze Drunken by ultraviolet rays that cover me Can never quite recall the day Not that it really even matters much to me Anyways Anyways Anyways Anyways Gently nestled in the shade Provided shelter from the old towering trees I watch the branches as they sway Small pools of sunlight in my face coloring me Anyways Anyways Anyways Not that it really even matters much to me Anyways Anyways Anyways Anyways

Solarium 11:43
Wake up sunrise shines back into you Feel the sunlight shine back into you Back into you Back into you Seize your internal solarium Solarium…

Invisible 04:24
Feel the warmth coming through Streams of light come into view In a daze, but coming to Slipping away, falling through And be the world as it sees you And be the world as it sees you And be the world as it sees you And be the world… Colored in light Become the world I see Breakthrough insight Complete transparency Just out of sight Like an apparition Mirroring light Shrouded from human vision See the world from deep within Lucid eyes, Crystal skin Disappear into the blue From all that is that makes up you And be the world as it sees you And be the world as it sees you And be the world as it sees you And be the world… Colored in light Become the world I see Breakthrough insight Complete transparency Just out of sight Like an apparition Mirroring light Shrouded from human vision I’ll be your prism Bend your light through me Visibility, spectrum I can see I close my eyes, still I can see your light Cause I’m see through, I see through Should be dark as night, still see clouds floating by Cause I’m see through, I see through Colored in light Become the world I see Breakthrough insight Complete transparency Just out of sight Like an apparition Mirroring light Shrouded from human vision I close my eyes, but I still see your light Cause I’m see through, I see through Should be dark as night, still see clouds floating by Cause I’m see through, I see through And be the world as it sees you And be the world as it sees you And be the world as it sees you And be the world…

Hear the sound of life around As we both step from the shade Sunlight paints the morning moon In an orange yellow haze Reunited with the day Reunited with the day Reunited with the day Reunited with the day…
5.
Seize the world on your fingertip Embark through distant passages And climb See new worlds in the distance shift Many miles until we reach it Hold tight Guidance in the sun I’ll dance with everyone And face the change to come I’ll brace myself, won’t run We’ll get there We’ll get there We’ll get there We’ll get there…
6.
Many miles still left, until we get there So sit back get comfortable with everything Calm down, oh no don’t be scared Tiptoe into the world inside your head When we get there we’ll dance in the sun (We’ll dance in the sun when we get there)… Still a ways out until we get there So sit back get comfortable with everything Who are they to say you’re gonna get lost Remember, “it’s my own adventure” Many miles still left yeah, until we get there So sit back get comfortable with everything Calm down, oh no don’t be scared Tiptoe into the world inside your head When we get there we’ll dance in the sun (We’ll dance in the sun when we get there)… We’ll dance in the sun when we get there…

Swimming 04:10
Something doesn’t feel quite right Surrounded by the words you said weren’t lies Oh was I wrong… Oh was I wrong Oh was I Naive to have gone so far No matter where I try and go hide It reels me back in Hanging off the borderline Between new worlds I’m shown before my eyes Where have I gone… Where have I gone Where have I gone, gone to now Where have I gone, gone to now I’ve passed the point of no return The waves they call me now The waves they call me now The waves they call me now The waves they call me now
8.
Wake up every morning To the sound of a voice It moves through you In waves It comes and it goes Endless stream Break the cycle… Wake up to the daydream You know exactly what I mean Those you’ve held in place of life Just floating down an endless stream Endless stream Break the cycle…
9.
I know it’s what you needed It takes some time to feel it A shifting sand inside you A whisper to remind you Let go of my old self Thought that I knew myself Echoing in my head But I won’t break away With each passing day Fall into the rhythm…

about

“Absorb the ultraviolet rays you dance within, bask in the vibrancy of an unusual dawning light.
Manifest your own internal solarium, become an illuminant projection of the metaphysical.

Embark upon your voyage to distant lands and seek guidance within the sun.
Break your cycle from the endless stream as it snakes infinitely like an ouroboros.”

Rich with sonic character manifested from a swirling soundscape of punchy hypnotic drum grooves, and enchanting electric guitars, a thematically sun-soaked record emitting a surrealistic psychoactive glow reminiscent of an infinite summer day. Spanning from contemporary neo-psych sensibilities, traversing through continually winding instrumental passages ladened with murmurs of flute and acoustic guitars, and into some all new ventures of far out krautrock inspired territories. Culminated in a cohesively immersive experience, a true spectacle of sound, painted in both strokes of organic textures and warm saturation.

An album best suited in portraying the metaphorical embodiment of a newly arising era, Solarium.

“This album is very meaningful to me, lots of these songs were formulated way back in early 2019, during an immense outpouring of creative ideas which had just about all swiftly found themselves lying dormant and awaiting the day they would inevitably become destined for ears other than my own. Finally releasing these songs brings me great joy, and I hope you can get lost in the adventure of listening along.”
