Where Truth Is A Beacon

Blackbean & Placenta/Smilex

This is another sneaky little record. Dust it off and… Hey! So that’s the song that’s been running around my head lately. And there’s another one!

Great lyrics smack dab in the midst of some insidiously catchy indie rock melodies. Six sneaky ones and a disposable last track. Apparently limited to 500? That hardly seems fair. More people need to hear this.
