London 03:11
lyrics
Midnight stroll from the Underground Streetlights' twins in the river, with moonlight swell My heart leaps at the beauty of the simple streets That weave beneath the feet of constructs hewn from founders' dreams This place holds you up Holds you up to it's light and doesn't let up This place holds you up Holds you up to it's light and doesn't let up It won't swallow me I'll find the lamps that light for free But it's all rubble to my cause Bricks will crumble, monuments will fall Bridge, Thames, Tate, Ben, finding truth outside them I'll throw my shadow from a light worth living for

Robin 06:24
lyrics
Mirrors Hours Child Wrapped in a Robin's cape The future Pressing Ending Hefting a weight of promises made to The Younger The Brighter Are lessons learnt or are hopes just dashed against granite truths of The Senior The Been Through The Know Better The Embittered The Seek Shelter The Been Twisted Fall robins fall We'll see the world flash past our eyes Don't act suprised Our fledging flight Fat chance our brittle wings will last We'll fall apart Free the Kid Free the Could Do Free the Youth Free the Yearned For Free the Teen Free the Took Hold Free the Teen Free the Take Hold Free the Kid Free the Can Do Free the Youth Free the Yearns For

Servers 03:57
lyrics
Hear the sound of Babylon Feel the heat of silicon Staring deep into the sun You're a war that can't be won Trainers' laces left undone This is holy ground my son Bow the knee and tame the tongue For a state of server farms Hands and knees into the light Fleshy walls of pink and white Inner sanctum opens out Angel choirs start to shout Cables black and tendril-like Slither down to wrap you tight Circuits fade and set to sprout Body, brain and soul shorts out Guess I was taught apathy Please give me sweet apathy

Sculpture 09:23
lyrics
Put your hope on hold It's hopeless, she said A cushion for regret I know I could plunge into this pattern I could salvage the emotions I could cauterise the passion I could cage myself in comfort I could eat the fruit of knowledge I could taste a world of sorrow Embrace the dust I sprang from And lay down in the dirt But I won't

about

The 'lost' debut slandercat album, an unfinished document of experimental pop.

The album was started in February 2010 and had collapsed by February 2012 - endless tweaking and revisions ended with a slow abandonment of the project.

When J's PC had been formatted, many plugins and samples were lost, leaving a single half-hour 320Kbps track as the last snapshot of the album.

That remained uncovered for almost two years, before J's brother's insistent pleas to release it resulted in this free release.
