(cheesey sounding, "more in-depth" to strangers part: influenced by a unique blend of post-hardcore, screamo, alternative, grunge, industrial, post-rock, & more, with elements of experimental art & (occasionally) noise.
coming from a background in screamo, punk & metal, but want to push past those musical boundaries, and make something more.
the music is treated as art, with intentions to say something, & hopefully mean something to someone.
ceramic, paper-maché, and occasionally found-object sculptures are usually around, as well as candles.
unique instrumentation is used, from cello, kyle playing guitar and sliding with one hand while playing keyboard with the other, a broken down-tuned electric mandolin, a warped acoustic guitar he found in the trash, xylophone, & diy drum-kits.
from other bands, such as dry clouds, disassemble, the paris commune, etc.)
