about
"Solaris" is a song about conviction, and regaining control of one's life after being lost.
lyrics
I'm winding through tundras
Never felt a synergy
In the deep of these snows
Sift core from ether
Lest I forget what I'm made of
Soon time will tell
All the force, all the glow
Harness this sun
This is my time now
Retake my Solaris
I'm drifting through stardust
Never had a better bloom
In the presence of stars
Tear flesh from ether
Lest I forget what I'm made of
Soon time will tell
All the force, all the glow
Harness this sun
This is my time now
Retake my Solaris

What Does this Band Sound LIke?
....How About a Combination of The Cranberries at times channeling Swervedriver & Vocally SLOWDIVE if they LET Rachel Goswell sing ALL Lead Vocals on EVERY Track!!!!
Now Go GET YOURS!!!! Agent K
I love how their sound here is more intense and abrasive while retaining its dreamy and ethereal qualities. This is probably my favourite release by the band as of now. Every song is frisson-inducing. David-Olivier
In the sweet spot of '80s college radio/goth nostalgia, this LA group has big pop hooks, chiming guitars and a wry, dark sense of humor. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016
