I smell a smell that I've never smelled my lips are turning into caramel uncross my eyes give me a pill a violent urge to regurgitate the rainbow ooohh, my little unpruned shrub you push in every direction reaching for touch ooohhh, they'll never wash your feet with their sweet secretions to claim your heart you can't cover it up you are decaying girl and it's contagious ooohh, my little unpruned shrub you push in every direction reaching for touch ooohhh, the lacerations are so deep you are decaying girl and it's contagious

Sleep In The Road (free) 03:55

In the alley, behind my house on a street so seafoam green he follows the red carpet to an oasis full of virgins sleep in the road long thin necks and curves so round but he won't touch them they are his slaves

Stalagmites Stalagtites (free) 04:36
lyrics
download
Closing in on me from corners that I can't see like daggers in the rock and a stream like a tongue deeper in the pit looking at a blood-soaked spit where was I to run? Closing in on me and watching my lips speak to the devil in the spider's web where it feeds on my wall deeper in the pit looking at a blood-soaked spit where was I to run?

about

"Hard Company started when I moved to Montreal and realized how popular electronic music was; I grew up in a scene surrounded by rock bands, but here in Montreal everyone seemed to be using laptops and samplers in live performances. I thought it would be a good way to branch out musically and luckily so did Guzz. I borrowed my friend's Dr Groove drum machine and quickly recorded a pile of beats, picked my favorite ones, then recorded bass lines over them. When Guzz came to Montreal to find somewhere to live, I passed him these rhythm tracks. He took them back to St. John's and by the time he came back to Montreal three months later, a lot of the groundwork was laid and we just started decorating everything, trying to make sense of this new form we both knew nothing about." - Alexander
