about

Before the Word, was the Myth.

As the inevitable heat death of the cosmos looms ever nearer in spacetime, life, in all of its myriad manifestations, faces a choice between a relative eternity spent watching our universe die around us, on the one hand, and the bitter, animal struggle against the eventuality of our own deaths, on the other.

The Word is passed down to us through a kaleidoscope of synoptic voices. Each Apocrypha reveals a new emotional subtlety, a depth of sonic experimentation, and a grandness of scale to the known world—the Myth—the Zeroth Canon.

lyrics

Hush
All the words expire
No bones to build
Your head is heavy

But flesh
When it cries like fire
Yeah we listen
Our head is heavy

I want to go back

We tread
We rise
Unearth
Can’t keep us (down)
Reset to survive
It’s lonely on the other side

What if those precious hours
Need sleep to call their own
We’ve wandered much too far
From home

I want to go back

We tread
We rise
Unearth
Can’t keep us (down)
When all your wanted was to survive
It’s lonely on the other side
