The darkness is absolute. Except for the spiders. The spiders are glowing. A faint, sickly, psychotropic phosphorescence emanates from their hairy bodies. Psychedelic arachnid lanterns. Lovely. They have mandibles. They are hungry. They look at you with their cold, stupid, utterly indifferent little eyes. You attempt to flee. Unfortunately, your foot lands on a slug the size of a small dog. The creature lets out a tiny squeal of ecstasy as its swollen body ruptures, emptying its juices, its black blood, its entire miserable inventory of internal fluids across the basement floor. You fall. The spiders approach. They enter your mouth. They lick. They tear. They burrow. They make their way through the soft, pink architecture of your increasingly irrelevant anatomy. One of them has found a particularly comfortable little cavity behind your left eye.

Quarter-life Crisis is an eruption in slow motion, a free-improvised descent where intensity doesn’t build, it gnaws. The music claws at the edges of coherence, surging in waves that feel less like expression and more like something breaking through. Every sound arrives sharp, volatile, uninvited, as if torn from a mind refusing to stay intact. Textures grind against each other: distorted drones swallowing frantic gestures, violent bursts of rhythm dissolving and bouncing off one another. Nothing here is gentle. Nothing seeks catharsis. The intensity doesn’t guide you; it dismantles you, stripping away the illusion that any kind of meaning. These pieces flicker between agony and emptiness — a storm with no center, a scream with no message. All that remains is motion, pressure, force: the raw physics of a self collapsing under its own weight. This is not music about crisis. It is the crisis, recorded in real time, burning itself out in the dark
Can see little fruity garden on balcony in the painting. Maybe that was his intention — a precious Christmas gift for us All time favorite artist of our label
