Our new album is out now. The links to all the streaming platforms are in the description. Leave a like or a comment if you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time and support 🤘

We all listen to music. I love music, but what gets you to actually click, consume and eventually like or love a song? What pulls you into tracks that you love?

Me personally, a lot of my favorite tracks were heard from all sorts of different sources, many places and many different mediums because I can listen to most genres and shit. But because of that, I can't really put myself in the shoes of the common listener, so this is why I ask.

This is intended to be a serious talk about whether we fuck with each other and how that plays into our interactions. Imma say some truths and then what I think are intellectual loops forming bad habits, I would love to hear y'alls.

Truths

> After 15 years of doing music, I personally don't trust anything and anyone up until pay day (taints the process)

>I feel like music's not about the better music anymore, maybe never has been

>I feel like furthering someone else's journey without finding my use out of it is pointless, besides hoping they find it in there hearts to give me something later (feels weak)

**>**These bots, accounts and streams, have started to give me a feeling of doubt as if I'm clawing to get into a world that only wants to take advantage of me

Circular Logic

>Your "followers" (fans) count needs to be higher than your "following". All ego, I'm being honest, I think I thought this way on some celebrity shit, but if I'm not following any other artists/producers to remain "cool" then theoretically I'm hoping my music is so overpowering that it breaks their will to be "cool" and they are forced to hit that follow button...silly

>The right person will hear it, and you'll pop overnight/week/month/year. We're in the music making business with some of us in love with this shit. The introduction of streaming and getting fucked by artists you grew up on has left us in a .0003 environment with little options of engaging in music sales the old way. That shifted us into a place where there's very little money in comparison to how many of us there are, and severely hurt our proximity to fans. I think the next indie artists that find themselves entering stardom will be ones that did not use money to brute force there way into the industry but instead ones who have so many followers that are producers or artists that just want to make great music, they can get a project done through their ecosystem. I think that shields you when you say/do something unpopular in the industry, you cant get blackballed because the producer that followed you 3 years ago that sucks at sampling but can lay a mean ass unique bassline, or the little known artist fan that sucks at composition but knows exactly where to lay those adlibs will always fuck with you.

I'll start working on being better about this shit, we're the shittiest to the people who are so fucking likeminded to us, and I feel like the music industry banks on that shit to keep the gate up. Would love to hear some truths and bullshit from yalls head

Fusion, inst.

This is a two piece grunge band that was blossomed out of a ton of use of this substance. It’s just a 15 min ep that was intended to be a whole album called xylem and phloem. I hope you enjoy!
