Well first of all the cover features a shot of the Trump Tower in Atlantic City being demolished. It's a freeze frame because along with all of the dead statements, name calling, brooding, loss of loved ones, and the current movements leftover from the past 4 years, the freeze frame represents the fact that it's not completely gone away. That building isn't actually fully demolished to the ground.
Two of the tracks (Braids FM 1 and Cup of Ice) are remixes of favorites by Cyrano White better known as Cereal of the Portland Hip-Hop group known as High Society (Paul George Estrada, Figaro)

Cut-Offs was produced by New Injuries and is a symbolic protest song of the cheers with Kentucky Whiskey in hand in accordance to the detriment of and events coming out of the Brianna Taylor case as the producer being born in the same air on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. This comes after the White House Roundtable conference at the same time to "appreciate" Law Enforcement and the representative they chose to showcase was a drug addict from Louisville who was made into complete top in the midst of all this trauma nationwide. Cheers Brown Stain! I have a Appalachian jug vibe mouth harp sort of vibe here while I shout:
"Guitar!/ Get Tore (get tore up/drunk)"
N.E.S. (Nervous Entrainment System) was originally a WALL&VOID song that wanted more out of for years. The song is missing a lyrical part in the background from the original because it was a treatment part for someone that I had been trying to work with on this one for years.
So after several years it has been redone at Jackpot Recording Studio in Portland, Oregon. The song is meant to resemble the trudging through and ignoring the persistence of saltiness. Chewing food without a need for extra seasoning on the subject, the food of what's being said. The digestion. Does it need digestion, does it need seasoning before seasoning just to digest? Or is it just extra.
Purple Screen was recorded in the summer of 2018 in the height of A Beat Happening(
abeathappening.bandcamp.com ) showcase era at Future Shock Records in Portland, Oregon. There are hundreds performances to go through on their Youtube Channel, including I (New Injuries) and Auvie Sinclair who produced this track. It's one of the many sounds that we've gone through, but this one in particular was brought to me while I would be sitting in Portland Concrete all day on Studenets drum kit. Auvie Sinclair said that he needed a bass guitar on it and put it down on it and then forgot and mashed on some samplers. I later put vocals on it because the vibe was so thick that it reminded me of Jay-Dee's Welcome to Detroit and it's humble coolout moments that I used to ride to in South Carolina. It's one of those songs that just bumps and mumbles in the background when you're standing somewhere outside texting someone.

Soul Touch is just a dedication to those dark haired girls that rock black football jerseys and smell good, but you really don't know what to think.
Stethoscope is meant to be a reggae DUB dedication to just throw all the extra thoughts away and let it go for a minute on some Wailers vibe or Lovejoys vibe. It's Oregon, so almost everyday regardless of what the person looks like you might smell sweet fresh "nugs" on them as they walk by. This is the pulse.
Wampbient: This song is meant to symbolize where Wampire should have been by now provided there weren't world trauma at the levels we've all experienced during the past four years. It's an imagination piece that cuts ahead of people's speculation.
Wi-Fi Material is an attendance in relationship matters common interest versus self indulgent preoccupancy. Not quite as serious as I've put it here but just a tongue-in-cheek observance of "1-UP culture". It comes across as a sneak diss but it relays no specific message to any one individual. This song collectively screams "Cognitive Dissonance".
