Album Notes

Our new album almost killed our band.

This new CD has survived a year of isolation.
It has survived a car crash.
Survived broken hearts.
It’s pushed us through broken bones and just being plain broke.
It has seen us play our best shows.
It’s survived infighting,
Self-doubt,
and growing up.

We’ve taken a long time to get these songs out into the world. Too long.

But Richmond’s most musically ambitious group is ready to release their newest work: Halluchimeras

---------------------------------

Where “Halluchimeras” comes from:
Hallu (from hallucinations): 1 a: perception of objects with no reality usually arising from disorder of the nervous system or in response to drugs (as LSD) b: the object so perceived

Chimera(s): 1.a: fanciful mental illusion or fabrication 2.An organism, organ, or part consisting of two or more tissues of different genetic composition, produced as a result of organ transplant, grafting, or genetic engineering.

A song is like a part of you, an organ, like your brain or your heart. Different tissues making up something you can’t live without. These 8 songs differ in topic and are sung from different perspectives. Various interpretations of a unified reality. Songs about reactions to our surroundings, but not always about tangible items or particular events.
