the reason that you stay in at night is the torture for your ego the freedom that you fear when you're all alone keeps you so low the reason that you play down your life, it's a dirty dripping halo the freedom to lay down your life, it ain't much, and really ain't so the freedom of running away strips you down into a small lie but it hurt so long you could make that lie feel so high make my life a memory of who i thought i'd never become lead me down another way from worry and this time take the road that you so love and be young know your love isn't evil
2.
right off the edge of the earth into the black universe no time to reverse it couldn't get any worse right off the edge of the world and she was my little girl now she fills all the sky with her bright lullabies my little girl... there's no way to atone so I'm left all alone my wonderful friend I'll never see you again
3.
like a good friend passing on: tight as one, suddenly gone like a selfish petty one: prattling on, prattling on like a rusty nail on a jack and coke, and another three rounds on me then the pain behind your eyes: too much light, going blind like the pressure on that job: boss you hate, don’t be late like the traffic flow downtown: slow and tough, cut you off like you worked all day, all the power goes out, and you realize you didn’t save then the voice inside your head: out of time, you’re so dead like a psychostimulant: crawling touch, don’t take much like forgetting where you went: was it fun, or just dumb? like tryin’ too hard while gettin’ it on, then you can’t get it off at all or you’re shot down by that 10 who loves you -- just like a friend your primitive suffering

Two Moments 04:02
one moment of anger two moments of pain take it down a notch

Those Moves 04:06
those moves you show are makin' me go to meet you on the dance floor that body you show is makin' me go to move you on the dance floor see the minute you're gone is so so long I don't really know how to wait but the moment you go on the dancing floor i'm just one second away then we step into a rhythm that is swingin' and you're singing and our bodies jump up and sway say you're makin' it all up as you go along, but the angels guide you to this song my eyes on your eyes, my hands on your hips, your step follow mine, first right then left top rock, take off, don't take too long, max out the time we dance to this song then we're spinning as we're grinnin' in the zone i guess we're in it, mark it down: another win when you suddenly shake your body just that way, we're gliding on up to heaven's gate

about

Bounte's signature blend of genres are on display throughout this EP — from IDM to trip-hop to industrial, even touching on disco — at times woven with intricate programming, at others cobbled together with brute-force production. The result is a slick yet emotional electronic album that calls on one to drop the self-censoring voice and trust the expression of loss, anger, confusion, frustration, desire, and bliss.

about

Bounte Chicago, Illinois

Chicago-based indietronica producer Bounte crafts darkly emotive and uniquely structured songs that forge new harmony from disparate ideas, intricately weaving flowing beats, warped guitars, sweet orchestrations, and gnarly bass.
