Ignorance be mine No escape in time Ignorance be mine No escape in time Turning two blind eyes To our own demise As we go shopping for souls We are selling our own Ignorance be mine Ignorance be mine Blissful sleep tonight Doom shall hold us tight

I can't feel my hands Can't feel my heart All control is drained From every part Watch as we embrace the nothingness The smell of drowning flesh Feels like I'm coming home Coming home Home to the nothingness

I can't think of any more excuses All the promises we've broken them with a blissful smile Broken them like babies' bones Molten down to be easily consumable I feel it rising in my mouth The taste of guilt is sweet Claiming our right to commodities Standing in line for commodities Screaming in packs for commodities Failing our friends for commodities Claiming our right to commodities Counting bodies like sheep for commodities Waving a torch for commodities Bombing innocent folks for commodities Claiming our right to commodities Watching them drown for commodities Selling pieces of me for commodities Claiming our right to commodities Claiming our right to commodities Standing in line for commodities Screaming in packs for commodities Failing our friends for commodities Claiming our right to commodities Counting bodies like sheep for commodities Waving a torch for commodities Bombing innocent folks for commodities Claiming our right to commodities Watching them drown for commodities Selling pieces of me for commodities Claiming our right to commodities

about

Ophelia Sullivan presents APHEXIA's third full album "Interdependence", written and produced within a short timeframe in the spring and summer of 2019.

While APHEXIA's second album "The Gates" portrayed the process from adolescent idealism to a disillusioned awareness of the relativity of human experience, the new album "Interdependence" covers themes of identity, self-conception and social determinism, how the reflection of the perception of others shapes our individuality and how we all suffer under our ineradicable complicity in systemic injustices - collectively and individually, as victims and as abusers.

"Interdependence" is all about the interdependences of desire, will and predisposition. Resistance and the fight against systems we ourselves are such an integral part of. It deals with the internalized ideals of capitalism infiltrating the self-conception of a person deeply opposed to capitalism, internalized ideals around gender and sexuality, ideals around the idea of the artist. It deals with the eternal failure to meet your own demands and what it costs us to be aware of our own inner repressive systems. "Interdependence" tells stories about the entanglements of anxieties and ideals that are constantly redefined by the deep imprints other persons leave on our souls.

Perhaps best described by the term 'Post-Progressive Electronica', APHEXIA's new album is characterized in particular by its genre-subverting diversity of musical styles showcased, not simply next to each other but deeply interwoven and merged to form an absolutely unique new sound. Its stylistic componenents ranging from Electronica and IDM to contemporary bass music to Trip Hop to Post-Rock and jazzy Post-Prog, "Interdependence" is a journey through the creative mind of a person deeply in love with music itself and completely committed to utilizing its power for artistic forms of resistance.
