daneleoniak It should be a surprise to absolutely no one that Beige Monk has released another masterpiece. Few artists put out music as frequently while raising the bar like Beige Monk does. Each new release pushes the boundaries to places you'd never expect, and this one is no exception. From the sprawling beauty of hey jana!! to the industrial attack of splinter, every track on this album offers a wild, gorgeous ride from start to end. Favorite track: splinter.

Violet Blume Asking why I love this record is like asking why I like breathing. There was a time before beige monk and there will never be a time after. Favorite track: swords.

this album is like sifting thru the toybox of your childhood friends house and finding a frozen gogurt near the bottom. nothing short of fun & weirdness in its own encapsulated unique universe.

hey jana alone makes this album worth buying and burning onto a CD.

thank you shin! Favorite track: hey jana!!.

a wave washed over our house all our seeds fell in the mud (no fertile land) (only quicksand) the sea is so cruel we are her orfins/phans (father has gone) (she needs a new husband) baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo!

the story so far 2 decades of trying to give birth to myself turns out it likes to take its own time yknow, it’s a spiral, it’s a rhythm fashion a dagger to fend off the bull & the scorpion competing for control of the child

for a half-second, a memory from behind the curtains appears it shells up in a puzzle box & stays there for a year a story & a kiss, a treetrunk overlook, a local brook do more than any chemical to bring us there but it is gone again, only a vast womb & its blastocyst are left which empyreans will make a story of us next? christmastime is here rotting angel in a living room tomatoes on its open grave eaten by vultures & humbleproud eels

hey jana!! 11:48
hey jana!! you were so worth waiting for & these birth pangs aren’t gonna last all night hidden among these toy guns somewhere there’s a real one & it’s not gonna stay abandoned anymore hey jana your body double’s in my heart place her face is always morphing closer to yours sunlight moonlight bright sun dark moon sunlight moonlight dark sun bright moon now i can’t remember which one’s you & which one’s me wouldn’t it be so much easier if we were one person (idon’twannaknowyeah idon’twannaknowyet idon’twannaknowyeah idon’twannaknowyet) now our little Hook's pulling whales out from the great sea call me if you figure out where our rivers meet the ocean i don’t wanna be a u-turn on the way to mark’s house i think that this could last a long time i’m not gonna be this silent forever i’m not gonna be that bull-like forever i don’t want for you to be a stone for me to step on along the way i want for us to go together i want for us to grow together i want for us to glow together i have no voice to speak with (i) i have no ears to hear your words just bark torn from its plant (they drank from the black stream) (rootless and aching) (rootless and free) but don’t get me wrong i can still hear the children’s song echo in your hair behind a wall of muddy feathered steel we will see you win won’t quit till you heal who are all these humans in the way? will it be long before they go away? trying to let dinosaurs out of their pen but the dragon’s become a turtle once again if my sails give way to the wind & if it blows me back inland i’ll carry my kayak to the shore to sail in your waters again stegosaurus, your bony neck’s a pterodactyl landing hey jana, you’re woven into places we grew up you could spend lifetimes hunting all the hidden treasures here don’t fall backwards dont fall back don’t step backwards now don’t step back now don’t look back now don’t look back don’t fall backwards don’t fall back same bass, followed by guitar: now the tempo increases your director's eye is radiating godlibido straws your scorpion serpent's spitting haphazard designs of death why don't you & you & you & i go opening some doors together? hey jana it’s always been you all of my short little life it’s always been you red karma from the study of the evolving language of your mythosis has our house daimon teleporting all these dinosaur babies into my dreams cuz a body is language & a language is a body & i want to learn both of yours yeah!!! & hidden among these toy guns somewhere there’s a real one hidden among these toy guns somewhere there’s a real one & it’s not gonna be abandoned anymore how many lives have i known you? or is this my only chance to fall to earth with you? i try to love the dirt, if only for that but this is a dead world on holy fire

[written in 2019 iirc for an open mic in rhode island, now it's here too] well i lost track of time & i lost track of whether i lost track of time & whether i know if i lost track of time so i don’t remember which layers that i’m on today & which i’m not "oh ha ha ha, ha ha haha ha ha" i hold a camera to the words to make them lose all value hold a camera to the words to capture their souls hold a camera to the words to make them lose all power over me to thin out their sense of reality i was turned to sand and blown away it feels so good to be dry wind again i'll burn a hole in the silk for you to look through for you, my lord, for you, for you
