Coagulating 04:44
You never seem to give yourself credit when it's due. If I wasn't filled with doubt, I'd prove it all to you. I watch you staring past me, with those eyes you do. I'm standing here and I see only you. This could become, a complication. Your lack of self control and acrid thoughts, brought to be. Destructively corrosive, burning through me. I want to save you, from all you choose.

Permanence 04:26
His Silhouette fades into the shadows Hanging from the gallows Last Regrets to remain unspoken While bonds and bones are broken Here's hoping - we can bury this or are we married to our flaws? we shouldn't bear this burden carried on our backs, it's not our fault Time erases nothing no, it merely masks suppression works until everything comes flooding back your crippling doubt will leave you lost where you lay down It [only] won't be felt again when you're underground

Drown 02:42
So.. maybe the oceans calling out to me. I tried to hold it back, but I just fell into the deep. The shore keeper, tries to rescue me. Fighting to lose as I'm swallowed by the sea As I drown, down down try to breather but my lungs feel so tight with no valve to release I could swim, but where would I go It all ends the same any path I follow Waves crash over my head I can't hear I can't se I just feel it instead drifting quickly, deeper still Much like losing control while awake at the wheel I'm drifting I'm shifting through sands at the bottom to be covered in shale the last thing I see is nothing, in the deep It's just as well.

12:03 02:59
At 12:03 yesterday your sense of humor died It shriveled away causing pain and left a gaping hole inside No No You're never going to answer, even though you're home I beg and plead come talk to me you say you want to be alone I'm sorry that the subject's sore that wasn't my intent but honestly, and more alarming, it's the message that I sent Now it makes you want to cry no more sharing a hearty laugh that rips the stitches in your sides

Sometimes I wish that I Could fall apart into the deep like hotels on the pier that died and slipped the depths The water's warm and dark Let Thetis come and bury me to break free from this shell to escape eternal ennui and please know I never wanted this if I were like you I'd be a conduit But I lack the entropy you seek Bring back a warmth to keep I stared into the sea she stared right back at me came up to the shore and swallow this island whole fortified and scarred determined and strong but this hundred year storm would prove the proud and faithful wrong

Codex 05:12
And We'll meet inside our minds where thoughts connect like water this place is so serene but the mask is just for show this space, the in between it will serve us for the moment Your secrets I'll make them surface your painted canvas can't hide the truth Colors form codex music is code decipher your cipher the enigma unfolds corrupting your construct through alien means breaking your memories to see what you've seen when motives become apparent this fragile dialogue will cease to be we both know what we're here for we can't turn back the die is cast can you see your own reflection when's the last time, you saw your mind? here unto the ever after I'll drag you under your secrets die.

Foot In Mouth (free) 02:32
please calm down no need to cry I can't take it back But I will try Never meant to do you harm so If I share in the alarm It's cause i'm scared you're going to leave over something that I didn't mean I'm lost please find I'm scared you'll deny me La, la, la...

Don't make concessions he wants to cheapen your worth you won't get credit for the hard work that you have earned I'll stand behind you if that's how you decide you should do it for you It's a matter of pride Take my advice, take what you will At least I'll feel better now that you know how I feel I think you have it, and you should think it to stand in opposition to those against you Don't answer questions unless you know who is asking them cause you never know, who may be listening this isn't progress when you keep looking back stand your own ground cause they're on the attack I am not impressed by the suggestion you said had been mentioned It's hardly improvement taking what's unique let's find a new way to ruin it No. Say you won't. Let this one go.

Novocaine 06:05
When I am with you It feels like dying Like I'm losing touch with everything I've known A peace that's overwhelming Ineffable and vast I'm taking in the view for the first time A tightness in my chest and weakness in my veins Fades when you are near You're novocaine I'd rather not trade for better I never wanted that I'm so afraid of letting go I'd trade blissful ignorance for all the pain that I can stand if only I can keep right by your side I scream but there's no sound I can't even touch you now Drifting off into another frame

about

Originating as a genus of freshwater diatoms susceptible to chytridiomycota infestations, Asterionella has evolved over the millennia, presently taking the form of a shoegazing space rock band from Las Vegas. With influences as disparate as UK Madchester bands and modern noise-rock and pop outfits, Asterionella creates a sound that melds swirling melodies with post-rock arrangements, all of which is layered with a warm, ambient veneer reminiscent of the 90s shoegaze movement. And as the diatom from which it takes its name is composed of cells joined at the apex by mucilage pads to form spiral colonies, the four seasoned musicians comprising Asterionella are joined by a common passion for crafting intelligent & challenging, yet catchy music that invigorates the soul, captures the imagination, or at the very least never bores.

This is their first album effort.
