Fantasy Of A Broken Heart Chaos Practitioner Vinyl

"Born in a cloud of smoke, fueled by the burn of multiple failed relationships, and recorded in intimate settings across the world, Chaos Practitioner is the most bombastic collection of material we’ve ever attempted to complete. The songs orbit around a simple mantra repeated across the EP: “You want it but you’ll never get ahead of it.” It’s easy to feel as though we constantly live in the shadow of expectation, while life itself feels like a never-ending melee of chaotic occurrences attempting to derail any sense of center. Why aspire to anything? This project feels like a swan dive into such a reality. The songs are a marriage between honesty and nonsense, revealing fantasy at our truest lyrically and musically. There’s a full blown autotuned lounge number. There’s a largely instrumental math rock blaster conceived after Bailey got too high while watching a live version of “Layla” twenty times in a row. There are guest appearances from our friends Brutus VIII and Current Joys popping up as unexpectedly as the unfortunately placed orchestra hit. Do all these things work together? Practice a little chaos, why don’tcha? "
