Story Behind The Song

The album was recorded at the all-analog Williamson Magnetic Recording Company then mixed and overdubbed at Audio for the Arts in Madison. Captured therein is the present warmth of tape while utilizing the depth and scope of digital products available today. The songs were written in Freewheel Community Bike Shop's warehouse and refined and arranged in the former Smart Studios in Madison, where many musical influences of the band itself were recorded. "Akashic Record'' is the first episode in a continuing series of multimedia storytelling, chronicling the band's para-dimensional counterparts and the journey they share.

Song Description

"Akashic Record" sheds light on the group's new & ever-evolving soundscape, and hones in on their collective songwriting approach. The music captures harmonic tones, amorphic synths, colossal drumbeats, sweeping saxophones, and dynamic punchy grooves that fuel into enlivening buildups, anthemic choruses, and silky sweep-aways in a synth/sample-luscious atmosphere.

Lyrics

Catch me in a minute
Catch me when I am thinking straight
Because right now that I'm in it
I, unfortunately, can't relate
The whole thing is coming to the point where we've got to redefine
The state of mind
So meditate on what you are feeling
Om sol jah buddha todo mundo rah
The warrior heart is now amorphic
We've got to beat this up down
With the you sound
Shake it up
Shake it down
Shake it
Dig it
Dig it
Over and above they build a shield
Where all the thoughts are numbered and revealed
Nothing ever made her ceiling
I just thought of something I do worse
Could you ever rehearse
The part of every moment
Dedicated to remaining sane
Man sane
When all the lies I tell myself are plain
To see
They're lame
We're going to be playing at O'Malley's
We're going to be putting that second pitcher down
We're going to be smoking in the alley
That's when them gonna be shooting them lasers down
Coherence with universal life force don't take no force at all
It's the one and all
The Akashic record.
