Understanding Your Album:
Hello. If you've found yourself here, chances are you're listening to ᴛʜᴇ ʙʀᴇᴀᴋꜰᴀsᴛ ᴍᴇɴᴜ's album, "ɔısnW pɹɐʇsɐq pɐS" right now!
Congratulations!
Painstaking efforts to create a flavor (Greetings, fellow synesthesiacs!) that accurately matches the emotion attempted to be conveyed in each track were made via the choices in both sound, and artwork, too!
With any luck, success has been made to relate with and unite many a sad bastard.
Remember; You owe an explanation to nobody. We're all sad bastards here.
Well, mostly. But we'll come back to that in just a minute...
The stigmas of mental health seem unending, don't they? Regardless of whether or not you suffer from a mental illness, or you're simply feeling bummed out by some less than desirable weather, bottling up your emotive tendencies is doing you no favors.
A sonic landscape to lose oneself within is just what the doctor ordered!
We hope we can fill that prescription for you.
This album uses seamless transitions from song to song. For the best results, please refrain from shuffling.
Some listeners may wonder, why? Why celebrate the unfortunate? Why decorate the airwaves with jazz of such pity?
If you find yourself asking this, or any similarly phrased inquiries, you may be suffering from a form of happiness called "contentedness."
A primary symptom of this condition is confusion regarding the empathetic relations of those who have been discouraged of their own life-affirming satisfaction.
If a proper diagnosis has been achieved, this self-acknowledged pretentious collection of hapless melodies may not be right for you.
For more information, please refer to the "about" section of each track.
