Haunt Luma Just close enough to Norma Jean to enjoy on first listen, but has a distinct identity rooted in twangy and ferocious surprises Favorite track: Headphones or Die.

kevinmflowers I absolutely love this! I have always felt you capture so much energy through your singing and wish to see a bit more singing in Norma jean. The intensity that you bring with your voice is why I listen and you can really build into the intense screams with the slower parts. Hope to see more music like this and of course Norma jean. (Side note, I am a Christian and appreciate that you don't use harsh language in your music) Favorite track: Headphones or Die.

NEGATIVE THREADS To: Everything you measure and everything that measures you. Hold out for the pathway, the passage. You should anticipate a memory spike at the end. Things in flight at once. You don't, we don't irradiate. Reduce not rejection. The wait is never part of the pain. But I’m not a rebreakable crystal figurine, cause I’m not in the lion's den by myself. I want to cast it to the ground. Viper. I want to cast it to the ground. Viper. Cause I’m not a rebreakable crystal figurine. No blood on the bite when I walk out, I’m free! The high creates the lows. The start after I’ve seen it all. I’m willing to have everything and nothing to do with myself. Devoured.

Deathsurf 02:10
DEATHSURF The door swings both ways for the truce and clash. Well, that's a great idea, let's run it up the mast and collect the salutes. Let’s run it up the flagstaff and see what it will never contain. I wanna break the knife off under the skin. And when my grip is tired just tell me when to separate the hand and fall back down. This is a supernatural anxiety. This is a spiritual experience, but It’s my experience. Who wants to break the knife off the shaking hand? I dropped a lot of thread to drag back the dead, thrashing bones below. So what’s the enemy supposed to envy? RIght now. Right now. Keep me off the compass. I’ll never know its death. I'll spend my time mourning my life instead. Do you care about random order? Complete sooner and release more.

HEADPHONES OR DIE I don’t need everything to stand for anything like I said. I just need a minute to relay into something else. So what? I’ve got a lot of hallelujahs left to sing into the floor. I’ve already rung the bell and no one cares. Is this the camera I’m supposed to stand in front of, yes? I just need a minute to adjust my eyes so I can’t see myself. I just need a minute, dId they turn on me or did I turn on them? I already rang the bell and no one, no one cared. I am the verse, you are the chorus. Hang on.

The Glimpse 02:12
THE GLIMPSE Another Future Classic. Another future. Why don’t you say it out loud? “protect me from my threats” and it’ll lose yourself. Yeah, misplaced and gone and then you’ll lose some friends. Too bright by proxy from off-screen. Everything everything is blurred. Everything everything is clear from off-screen. Hey hey, another future. Damn was that a cheap divorce. It invokes a read realm. It invokes a read region. Suggestion is preferred. Samples merged so it can be narrow. Another future classic. Another future.

llovvlless 04:41
llovvlless I don’t feel like becoming a layer. Disconnect, so the body can disappear. Come down. The blood has withdrawn its vein. Go under the wave and we’ll dance on the disappeared. Let's disappear. Carry us out and I’ll tell you I’m sorry I don’t need anyone but I’m loveless without you.

Hominy 03:01
HOMINY I’m drunk off alkaline. I gathered up all the salts from the ashes of your eyes. I stepped into the sand, turning it into glass, clouding itself into view. I heard the serpent, it spoke with my tongue. I understood every word and I followed along. I just want all of this to be what it is. Idk what it is but what it is is what it is. I broke my bones for thee, ever unfruitfully, stabbing out blood riddled wine. I felt the sting of it, three ever counts of it, and I stumbled into thy view. Yeah, and you saw the good in me ahead of its time. I saw it all and I'm still confused, idk why. But I just want all of me to be what you are. Idk what you are but what you are is what you are.
