    "Casiodrome" came together over the summer of 2012, written in the sweltering Sacramento heat. This album is a huge departure in terms of instrumentation, as there is almost no guitar on this record. All songs were written and recorded with synth keyboards, samples and loops. Due to this, I wasn't initially sure if this should be an Odd Moniker record, but ultimately seemed appropriate given the trajectory of my previous record "Weaknesses". On my next album, I'd ditch this sound altogether and go for a gritty lo-fi indie rock approach on 2016's "Death to Analog".

Kobe Coldblood Sinner with a heart of gold Bit it when he lost control Of his game Sold his soul Sold it many years ago But you can thank the lord That he did know no pain Said it was a clean shot Bullet to the open wound Lay down in a body bag Whisked into another room Go and find your suitcase Pack it, we'll be leaving soon Better get your boots laced up Who knows when our atoms will come loose? Caught because of a killer with the same last name Gone before the dark of night could disappate Know that it's a long shot We never held it very close Keep it all at a distance Never really let it go Carry in your pocket Pictures of an empty room Just to keep the flame lit up Who knows when our atoms might come loose?

Forget about the specter haunting you Or any of these doubts Stay closer to the wall until You've got it figured out Falling forward first step running Fail to succeed This might be the pain they talk about You can defeat it No time for clapping lessons Jump in and go You'll learn to find your rhythm You'll feel it, you'll know Forget about the voices mocking you They're only in your head Keep quiet to yourself until You put them all to bed Falling forward first step running Fail to succeed This might be the game they talk about You can complete it No time for clapping lessons Jump in and go You'll learn to find your rhythm You'll feel it, you'll know

Seen but never heard Felt but not observed Stop and take it in Let it pull you down Caught up in a wave Help me to to be brave Feel it in my bones When it comes around What is this love? A reason to be strong Truth that marches on Energy unlike Anything around What is this love?

HAZY DAZE 04:38
Radio Going in and out of tune Lazy ways Sleeping in all afternoon Hazy days We try to sleep them through Sheild your eyes with the blinds When the sunlight comes It's all that we can do When I wake and I'm lying next to you I don't wanna waste any more time dreaming You got my heart And you now how to start it up When I wake and I'm lying next to you I don't wanna waste any more time sleeping

SISYPHUS 04:02
Gotta push that rock Gotta roll that stone And don't be easy on yourself It's the fate you were meant to know Your tongue was silver so we cut it out Your blade was sharp until we made it dull Gotta push that rock Gotta roll that stone And don't be angry at the one Who denied your body burial You had your chance to make it right But you have other plans tonight Gotta roll that stone

Sermon unsung Exit stage left Body remains My soul came and went Caught in a corner Came all undone Can't understand The words that you hum

MECHANISM 04:04
You'd know, you've been around You'd know, you've seen some stuff Like the stars shining overhead Glued to the ceiling over your bed A diamond in the rough If only you would be dug You're a trap that cannot catch a mouse The mechanism must be stuck Get in the car and get the fuck out of town Turn the radio on, dance like no one's around We don't need anything or anyone else Forget the map, we're gonna find it for ourselves

VICES 04:09
Ask myself how I'm getting along Check my pulse, my heart is hammering Crack a smile, take a minute to respond Catch myself before I keep blathering And why is what I cannot have the only thing I want? How can I be present when the moment's always gone? Does it make your nervous, do you feel like you're alone? Does it make you anxious knowing everything you know I could never lie to you, so I promise that I won't But how can I be honest when I know you'll just explode I know this about myself And it's nothing I can help It's nothing I can help No
