X AE A-12, what the hell, promethean task to bear a name, comprehensive eyes looking to the sky reaching out out loud to overcome its ground. Lovecraftian masks hiding something else aside, an all-too-human form of life corrupted core for a virtual beyond as a xeno-martian above. X AE A-12, look into my eyes before you are not human anymore, unearthly creatures from beyond, post-human synthetic evermore. The future is techno-capital, singularity, space-time being undone for your father’s worth and your mother’s songs. X AE A-12, cyberspace, automated process of futurity breaking down all anthropo-security disintegrating all unity. The future is techno-capital, singularity, space-time being undone for your father’s worth and your mother’s songs.

I come around, set and ready go. Look behind at what we’ve been going about, neverending set of charades over what we already have in a machine crunching us down, perverse assemblage bleeding of collective hearts, and I let out a sigh for all we’ve got all we’ve got. Looking for the outside We are thinking out ways we can survive ways we can fight back Violence erasing life, of all that can survive, right-wing masochistic death drive suffocating accelerated cult. Sacrificial lambs to slaughter, all for merely just being. Taking out fascist trash is what we are about, nazi scalps counting down like setting a score for all the things they want take from us, including our lives beyond a machine crunching us down, perverse assemblage bleeding of collective hearts, and I let out a sigh for all we’ve got all we’ve got. Taking out fascist trash is what we are about.

Dissociate, become cryogenic, Be undone by everything around you. I may never, I may never see you again. I may never, I may never see you again. Kept in our pods until we emerge again, Time and space collapse in unison. I miss you Inundated by virtual spheres of action, A virus of viral synchromatics, I may never, I may never see you again. I may never, I may never see you again.

The comet took it all tonight, nothing left behind, but I survived, despite the given odds at hands and I would do it, I would do it all again. Apocalyptic candlelight, hysterical asides of anachronistic times, looking out for signs of life like how we used to have. But I am here along with you. Surviving outside, sisters in arms united at last by the whims of chance, bad blood behind. You and I have a claim to everything. Never thought I'd miss his eyes, his foolishness for which he threw it all away, 15 bucks he owes me now and I will get my bank, I will get my bank. But now it is all a distant past, for all that we know cash ain't worth a damn, the world is a deserted land whose weight is on our hands.

about

"tellurian chants from the apocalypse zone" is an extended release by tiny desk directly entered around different themes that have surfaced given the contemporary state of pandemic under which these songs were written. each song seeks to breach a different outlook over what the future will look like: from the haunting future of capitalist realism, to the promethean acceleration of corporate techno-capital, to the rise of fascism as a challenging horizon, and the hibernation that isolation is coloured by.

about

Tiny Desk Edmonton, Alberta

Tiny Desk is found in between fuzzy textures and cascading twinkly sounds. As the independent music project of interdisciplinary artist, Simone A. Medina Polo, Tiny Desk often depicts a vulnerable space, like gazes sinking deep into ceiling tiles in a quiet summer night captivated in a range from lo-fi distorted sounds to bedroom pop ballads. ... more
