aserpentperplexed Not going to lie: I’m a sucker for creative and abstract music videos. That is how I found out Micah Buzan existed, his video for Word Salad. It blew me away with its abstract psychedelic imagery, so impressed to learn he can animate AND make music! He is a one-man show, a polymath of art (a uh... "polyart" if you will?). The music is just as interesting as the videos, exploring themes of isolation, chaos, and beauty in relation to the mind. I love it, I made a bandcamp just for Micah! Favorite track: Reincarnation I.

Present Paradox His music is really special and unique! Somewhere between Can, Radiohead, Folk and 8-bit Videogame-music. There are a lot of different musical styles he explores on this LP. "Nothing" contains distorted industrial sounds which made me think of Björks "Declare Independence", "Visions II" reminded me think of bands like Magazine and the excellent and sad "Sow the Seed" has a strong Lenoard Cohen vibe. Highly recommended! Favorite track: Sow the Seed.

Phantoms 02:54
Been born to wonder to flee or fight Each mind forgetful and hawking lies We should have seen it coming We should have been prepared The flowers always blooming to their ends The Phantoms

Open Sesame 03:22
Where did you run with my head? Took my brain from my skeleton put it on a silver platter mouse-trapped, snakes and ladders I'd say I love you but I just can't trust it We'll see each other in Heaven These are the levels you cannot win like in a 80's video game All the people talking around me makes you feel so lonely I'd say I love you but I just can't trust it You know I love you You know that I want too much All for the birds in the bird nests burn down I'M glad you left right now I'd say I love you but that just won't fix it We'll see each other in Heaven...

Visions I 02:51
yes they will be here soon and puking in a room my spirits disconnected i'm walking through a vision i'm back at the start and didn't get that far my heart was left wide-open the moths float to the ceiling the moths are eating my clothes sdjghasdl;ghasd;lgjldsahgdsjhg dsgkjhsdakgjhsdakgjhsdakgjhadsg avoid all eye-contact

Sow the Seed 02:56
why are you a fool for me? i am a man kept to his own greed it's the feeling that gets you high out of the abyss my heart doesn't notice light a shock of consciousness the creature of consequence from the seed we've sown wake up and do what you want the chord is cut and your on your own don't be afraid to lose yourself to the escape give up the ghost and embrace the other soul it's only you
7.
are you happy shedding your sunshine? bloated swordfish guided by electric delusions... ignorance is bliss throw the pigs in the pin throw the pigs in the pin i'm just a kid at the dinner table... are you scared of conversation? naked-langauge poisoned fairies fly home... ignorance is bliss for the pigs in the pin for the pigs in the pin i'm dressed to kill at the dinner table...

falling down like flowers in a ghostly garden the hole the rabbit sleeps is now filled with foxes where it rains forever this is where the stars were born waiting forever then called to life
9.
The more that I see the less I understand Where everything is danger the cries of man Will take us up to heaven and we'll run through the clouds Where everything is danger We'll never come down We'll move on to the place where nothing dies We'll move on where the sun only gives us warmth We live in the branches under the raven's wing We dream
10.
a fake conversation with a broken person words regurgitated for your entertainment and you never really found a purpose you could never get it past the surface just wanted someone to listen but no one ever listened i'm losing my sense of light does the truth lie, inside my animal mind? a paradigm looping endlessly and you never really found a purpose you could never get it past the surface just wanted someone to listen but no one ever listens the light (this is the place forever) (will i see you in heaven?)
