Four by Liquid Eye

The fourth installment in the series, practically named "Four" and features four songs. After the previous three albums I decided to try something new, the result being a mostly electronic album with some electric guitars, bass, vocals and exotic instruments.

The opening track "69." (pronounced "sixthy-nine dot") is a totally electronic instrumental in 69 bpm. I just finished watching the first season of "Stranger Things" and was really inspired by the heavy synths and amazing score and wanted to do something like it.

"Jupiter" is a massive and heavy song based on a single chord progression. It is like drone, going on and on and building itself up to a climax. The lyrics are about an astronaut who gets caught in Jupiter's gravitational pull and crashes into the planet... Some neat psychedelic doom effects on the vocals here, trying my best to make it sound like an astronaut wandering on the surface on the planet, and the music being the destructive force that tears him down.

"Dark Matter" is some short, bizarre and proggy goodness in 7/8. It is based around a single riff, which acts as the backbone of the song, never going away. Much like dark matter.

"Thoughts of Tomorrow's Past" is a song about dreams and shit. Yes, the intro is meant to sound like "Comfortably Numb", and all in all it's just another brick in the wall.
