Revision: This is actually "Electric Sickness"

My dad said what you ever playing was melting his brain

I hope in a good way!

this is brain melting music, to let the ego slough off like a liquid while you ride the beat

Hellyeah. That's what I am doing!

@casey worry not! My general M.O. is sharp turns while maintaining at least 2 elements of sound, tempo, or texture between songs. We will RETURN to minimalist dance-core!
