Over the last 30 years, I confess that I have rarely considered the instrumental of a song as gothic as the instrumental that hooks me into this track. Dramatic, haunting, emotional.
Also, the lyrical phrasing is completely inhuman and disjointed--I feel like I'm getting an apocalyptic sermon from an alien doomsday robot. Fuck yeah.
If you like VOWWS, you might like Animal Bodies (animalbodies.bandcamp.com/). They actually played together in Vancouver this summer and I MISSED THE SHOW T_T ;;;
I think you really get what is cool about Vowws. I love theory for that reason, freed me from a lot of barriers I didn't see....four year old post but they are still using some innovative techniques. For those curious, you can use double or quadrupler software or a guitar octaver pedal, the EHX Guitar Synth e.g; even manually it can be done. Basically you can take the concept of octave doubling and tripling on a vocal bu go way further, add a 3rd, 5th or other interval above the fundamental pitch of the vocal. E.g. if it's in a key of D, the Perfect 5th is A, the 3rd can be F natural for D minor tonality and F# for major; software like melodyne can do A LOT more than just fix notes for that robotic boring "pro" vocal, it can also pitch modulate between keys on a finished vocal and then you write bass and other parts to accompany, sounds complex but with todays tools you can use them for creative good not evil! lol In the era of Romantic Composers and later with people who went future with texture an actually simplified thins akin to the Jazz Progessive Rock Fusion of the 70s vs the more subtle use of weird harmonies you find in the 80s, a resurgence in modal and Debussy favorite the Whole Tone scale (no half steps, very other worldly to through in passage of 4 or more whole steps in a row, provides a means of modulation as well). The Romantics popularly, and arguable started with Beethoven, but Chopin, Berlioz, the great operatic writers of mid century, more than I can list: they pushed the limits of key modulation with the 12 notes we have in the common tuning system we have called equal temperament, (7 white keys, 5 black keys). That tuning system is one of many, principle for orchestral arrangement of dozens of instruments into groups that can work as a whole and for smooth modulation. The older Just systems made some chords and intervals sound more sonorous at the expense of making some keys really quite non-functional. It is the opposite to the romantic approach and Just lasted well into the Baroque and saw revival in the 20th Century. It's the opposite to modulation, or making your voice into a chord so I will discuss it no further. As for common techniques of modulation out of a key you can smoothy move around the circle of 5ths, like from keys of D to A to E to B and even use all the keys without sounding jarring. But rapid unprepared modulation became common and adds a lot of NEEDED excitement to Classic, Jazz and popular music i.e. Progressive Rock started heavily experimenting, but so did metal, industrial, a lot of people who just let happy accidents guide them of the better. There were also second techniques, like 2ndary Dominates where preparation of modulation created tension and release, but wasn't as intense as some chromatic modulations. But if you are reading, interested, but not sure what to do.... Chromatic modulation is the one thing to immediately try today, learn about it a bit even if one is no theory nerd at all. Just take a chord in a piece you are playing, take a familiar song you like or one of your own that is familiar. Grab any chord that is major and make it minor, even diminished, augmented or add a 7th, make a sus chord..if it sounds good it is good and eventually you will want to know why. I only learned theory once I became fascinated with the Moonlight Sonata and why modulation from C# minor to C minor was working to make it so dark but not crazy prog-like where my ears had to struggle to digest. Remember a dominant 7th chord e.g. G7 was once a STONG dissonance. Now it's so old hat, people started to omit notes and add or borrow notes to make it darker before return to the tonic (C in this case) or tease resolution. I record myself playing so I don't forget something cool, I recommend it, then the hesitation factor of "messing up" is less present.
If you reduce everything to its primary components you will find a corespondent pattern of meaning: all things are about moving to California. The Declaration of Independence, Shakespearean Literature, Newton's Principia Mathematica, Virgil's Anead, The Kama Sutra... I'm pretty sure the Sermon on the Mount was Jesus' way of saying "sell all your shit and move to California." I'm kind of into the post-sarcasm movement. We have no leader, they moved to California.
I thought more about Zoroastrianism/mithra, but I think if you went to Cali from mesotapamia/Iran you would be following the Sunset to get as west as possible but sunrise would have Taken you far East depending if you prefered late night or early day!... Subaru Japanese car manufacturer logo is also Pilaedies, or "the seven sisters" which is, the star group where some random alt right geezers think 8ft time travelling aryan Nords in UFOs (not Indo-aryans) come from and are all around us apparently lol, but since "Subaru" star system only has six stars not seven stars as were visible in seven sisters 100,000 years ago and Japanese most technologivally advanced possibly I think the Japanese already created UFOs in the future first and consumed one of the seven sisters stars to use as a energy source in the future to build time machine to come back to Earth, bringing back musical toilets and sushi from the future to present day.... Alec empire only drives a modest Nissan Micra so also unfortunately can't see the Germans getting to Pleidies first though reliable and "Nissan" translates literally to"sun production" in Japanese, is still a bit pedestrian!.. Numan has a really phat chevvy with all the mod cons though ! But yeah California is as west as you can get so out of fertile crescent and mesotapamia some people followed the Sunrise and some people followed the Sunset at on average 2miles per year I think for 80,000 years (apart from native Americans who got to america through Beringa (Bering strait from Asia to America)
We're forced to listen to garbage on the radio when gems like this are hidden away. I saw you with Billy howredel in Charlotte and I'm hooked. Such an amazing sound. I only wish I heard this sooner.
Congratulations on your wedding! They did play here, and they were phenomenal; and I think ( and profoundly hope) they were encouraged by our response enough to want to come back. May it be soon.
@@jasong6967 The kind that predicted the indefinite end of live performance art and music! lol I would choose a return of live performance i.e. sign a waver. Versus getting married....you better have some serious shared passions as couple to be locked down with another human ahaha Cellmates!

Just saw these guys open upfor Gojira and Deftones at the LA Greek Theater, they sound phenomenal live🔥🔥🔥🔥
I agree! They were a great choice for an opener! One hell of a night
Over the last 30 years, I confess that I have rarely considered the instrumental of a song as gothic as the instrumental that hooks me into this track. Dramatic, haunting, emotional.
So glad you guys played this in Vegas. My favorite.
Been a long long time since a band has peaked my interest. 100% artistry
Absolutely THE BEST new sound/music I have heard in years. ❤🖤
Saw you guys open last night for Deftones in Albuquerque, I'm hooked! Been playing your music nonstop today.
My favourite band with the exception of Deftones
Chino❤
I fucking love these chords. Total Dubussy/Romancicism-on-the-edge-of-tonality music theory nerd shit. Fucking rad as hell.
Also, the lyrical phrasing is completely inhuman and disjointed--I feel like I'm getting an apocalyptic sermon from an alien doomsday robot. Fuck yeah.

this is fuckin badass , and its timeless. holyshit this is outrageous. changes are sick.
Timeless. = good
Great song. Kinda moody and reminds me of 80's goth. Trying to figure out the lyrics but I think it's about moving to California.
