  • 24 page, 21cm square, hand-numbered, hardbound artwork and lyrics book. Printed on FSC-certified paper.

    This is a sensible way forward for a physical release since a 24 bit download is a superior audio experience to vinyl, CD or, ugh, cassette. 12-inch LP artwork is great but extremely expensive to ship around the world, so a larger-than-CD format booklet seems a good compromise. It is made from a renewable resource (no plastic) and gives you something to hold and read while playing the hi-res audio through your DAC.

    Central to Thūn is an environmental message, so intentionally generating more waste and plastic use in the world is counter intuitive.

lyrics

Sparked by lone action, came revolution;
Curse of self making, reckoning underway
This, just the beginning, a slow build to an avalanche
End debt slavery that serves only the interests of the few

Unfettered, vulgar transference of wealth
While any action taken with reckless abandon
Met with retaliation, to tear the old system down
Destiny flickers momentarily like a flame
Assume the mantle of judge, of jury, of executioner

Next target as stars align
Industries that serve no use, and spread poison
History, public opinion on my side
You will occupy: position most reviled

The irony is that this course is pro-human

Most advanced being in the known universe
With the awareness to mould its own future

Worship brings nothing of worth from callous gods
But that is not to say there is no reservoir of power to be accessed
Eternal - Over the event horizon

Noble fire burns away all of our illusions
Itself subject to music found behind the strings
Within, sole thing that lasts is change itself
One god in this dimension is the Sun

This tale of survival and having something left of worth
Tapping a more ancient void might be a success or failure but at least I had to try

One day they will look back and pity what we had become
How a world could be so broken when it was nurtured to near perfection

Forgiveness freely given after the storm has subsided
Once it is prevented, the end of all
Gaiacide
