Person, Place, or Thing

by Way, Shape, or Form

supported by

Michael Rodino This is a record that screams brilliance, past, present and future. It's an exercise of control and an even greater display of balance between pure musicianship and a real sensibility for what a good SONG is. This record is going to last for a long time. That's a promise. Favorite track: A Subtle Misspelling.

These are the options we live for So will you take them when this song is over? I should have declined When you tried to collect But I overreacted again instead I showed you a side I tried to protect When I overreacted again

5.	A Subtle Misspelling 05:04	lyrics
I can’t understand What any of this is all about Like poison Swirling deep You know very well Where to hurt. I pretended, Nothing happened But you didn’t Find me where You very well knew I would hide. Seems like yesterday when You promised me that you’d never lie I can see where We’re headed… But should I have known From the start? I'll never forget Your blank expression We had to forfeit Formalities. And it's important To use discretion And never forget The subtleties. Leave without leaving a trace The silent gun But the whisper knows me And it won't forget it. Off in our separate ways Like it never was And I've shown my teeth And I don't regret it. Leave without leaving a trace The silent gun But the whisper owns me.

about

2nd full-length. Years in the making, some of the song ideas pre-dated Trapezoid Campaign (2009). I wanted to experiment with more "pop" based song structures and an overall darker sound, combining jazz influenced guitar playing and electronic drum sounds. Recorded in my apartment on Goshen St. in Richmond, VA and completed in Spring 2012.

Audio mastered by Josh Osborne via the Subterranea Collective (subterraneacollective.org).
