I awoke in a field of waves
Past the point of sailing back
Fear and wonder intermingled in the forefront of my thoughts
For now, the plains of eternity were realized
And the mirage dissipated
Forward
Lost
The hours and eons petrified
Truth
Lies
All
Die
Dreams
Will
Pass
By
Truth
Lies
All
Die
Dreams
Will
Pass
By
Walking down the fluid pathway
The emblematic state of mind
Return into the system
A fixture of both space and time
The effervescent dendrites
Encapsulate, encase in light
The senses have lost meaning
And now we must escape into the night
Escape into the night
All light will fade with time
So search throughout the night
Down
Down
Down the hillside trail
Down
Down
Down into the vale
Down
Down
Down the Styx we sail
Down
Down
Down the past travail
Drown
Drown

The absolutely positive impact that this album has had on my life can't be described with words. Whenever I listen to it, it teaches me something new. My favorite track is "Scaling Mount Improbable." Dundar The Barbarian
This album is simultaneously elegant and humble. The track "A weather front was stalled out in the Pacific--like a lonely person, lost in thought, oblivious of time" takes me on a journey. Dundar The Barbarian
Excellent, atmospheric, instrumental prog/post-metal to lose yourself into. The combinations of stuttering guitar shreddage with the soaring walls of sound over the top are beautiful. Dundar The Barbarian
The Ocean adds electronic depths to their cinematic post-metal sound on their latest, closing out their paleontology-inspired album cycle. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
