We were down in New Mexico
A red t-shirt

And hummingbirds seem to be attracted to the colour red
But it wasn't a bug that was a hummingbird don't swat at the hummingbird

You wake up as a deer
You're running away
Dashing in and out
All along the forest's edge
You wake up as a deer
You're running away
Trying to escape
Whatever it is that's chasing you
When I suddenly find myself surrounded
by about a dozen wolves
grey wolves and, uh, black wolves
all the sudden
one by one
thinking about my fate
all the sudden
one by one
individual wolves begin to drop dead
all around me in a circle
one by one.

In my dreams there's always sickness
They pushed me down
and they kept pressing
I was fighting them off
and it hurt
They pushed me down
and they kept pressing
I was fighting them off
and it hurt
They pushed me down
and they kept pressing
I was fighting them off
and it hurt
They pushed me down
and they kept pressing
I was fighting them off
and it hurt
They pushed me down / My teeth started to shatter and come apart
and they kept pressing / tiny, sandy
I was fighting them off / bits and pieces
and it hurt / strange runestones
They pushed me down / a festering wound
and they kept pressing / infected
I was fighting them off / growths of bone
and it hurt / a... a boney piece
And it hurt / a... a boney piece.

Sorry about that, they just let me out of the hospital today.
Yeah, that was a joke.
Thank you, good night.
I'd also like a turkey deli sandwich with pickles and mustard.

hellothisisalex Hamilton, Ontario
hellothisisalex is Melissa Creasey and Mark Prier. Together, they write bizarro electro-pop infused with whimsy, a love of
pop music, experimental audio, and a northern-robot esthetic. In February 2001, they christened themselves ‘hellothisisalex.’
The music the duo write is primarily electronic, filled with raw analogue synths and otherworldly noises carried by melodic bass lines.

The Catch & Spring Summer Autumn Winter
by I Am Robot And Proud
I am robot and proud makes great music that we've admired since the MP3.com days. The Catch is an album that lived in our CD player back when it came out, and for good reason--it's fabulous & dreamy.

Cobra Juicy
by Black Moth Super Rainbow
Cobra Juicy is the perfect combo of sunshine and nightmares pressed through synthesizers. If you like analog sounds and horror films in equal measures, this may also be your jam.

Solvent City is where we all live. We're all Snow Robots, and this analog synth album is now also among your favourites. It can do you no wrong. You're welcome.
