Going Down from The Shivers by Ian Marquis
The demo for Going Down sat on my iPod for months. I never listened to it. I just wasn't happy with the sound. But then, one day, I played it in my car, and lyrics came to me. With those words in mind, I reworked the entire arrangement, threw in a nasty solo, and ended up with an energetic blast of music that still catches me off-guard.

Lyrics
Every day it stings
Left me with these broken wings
We don't sing, we're just livid
Circumstance, it thrums
Cholera inside me runs
It ain't fun, but we're livin'
Forgive me
But I'm not the one
That you said I'd be
This ain't what I bargained for
Forgive me
But you're not the one
That I thought you'd be
Now what's behind that door?

My songs are tiny ecosystems: self-sustaining, self-contained, intricate, and densely layered. I'm captivated by found sound and immaculate production. I sample my own work. I chop up my guitars and create arrangements I could never have played. I treat my voice like an instrument, pushing and pulling it in otherworldly directions. I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles.
