“The Seperation”

Josh adds – This whole record was written and recorded in a week and a half about a month after me and my wife separated, hence the title of the record. It is essentially the soundtrack for the mental and emotional breakdown I was having at the time.

Track by track explanation:
You’re not good enough- Ever start feeling positive about life only to remember your life’s fucked.

How non-violence protects the state- Read the book of the same title by Peter Gelderloos.

Accountability- A harsh critique on the lack of accountability for our institutions of authority.

Equal or Greater reaction- Dont talk shit if you’re not willing to get punched in the mouth.

I hope you get greased- An homage to the great Boston hardcore band Bugs and Rats.

Fear is the little death- With the anxiety-inducing horrors of life the litany against fear is a helpful and relevant mantra for the world.

Public spaces- Ever want to stay home because you hate the general public?

They’ll hang you by your bootstraps- Okay boomer…

Road rage- Don’t y’all just love the morning commute.

This is hell- No explanation needed.

This album was recorded in 6 days under no supervision.
