about

About this track:

We recorded Connecting Wires, the song and music video, in the summer of 2019. Niko crafted over 15 mixes of the song in his classic perfectionist stunt that has caused us to fail to release our music. Finally we ended up going with a mix from October. 2019 after a year of bojangling.

It is a dear part of our lore and a quintessential piece for our development as merchants of gloom. This track was and still is a driver for us to actually make things happen. Drew and Niko fought during it's inception which resulted in the shooting of the video, and more dramatic battles that have shaped our creative process and fortified our friendship

So many people to mention and some are seemingly gone but if you're reading, we miss you, we love you, and we thank you forever <3

lyrics

Lyrics:

I’m waiting patiently here
Waiting for my wings to appear
I’m just pushing through
Gotta make it out of June

In the summer the river keeps us cool

The grass is glowing neon green
Brighter than I ever seen
They look like connecting wires
Trying to set my mind on fire

And I hope one day it all ends up a dream
Static and fuzz in my ears
Pouring out washing me clear
Wishing I was wasted more
Somewhere on a skateboard

In the day time just bombing some hills with my friends

Looking for any excuse
To act like a silly goose
Choosing certain words on time
Even if they don’t make sense
You’re starting a healthy pattern in your life
