Ever Wonder 02:48
Ever wonder if you’re not working yourself hard enough? Getting caught in the dream and blacking out in midday? I want to scream into the void. Fuck my face; fuck my thoughts. It’s never worth it in the end. And I can’t keep it up. I’m not ready to die ‘cause I never was alive. Ever wonder if it’s all worth your while? Put it off. Shoulder all the guilt and blame. Later on, you’ll be fine. I want to break my voice apart behind the wheel of my car in crowded parking lots with everybody watching me.
2.
Not Here 02:53
When you’re not here, I feel like I’m alive. When you’re not here, I feel I’m out of mind.
3.
Blister in the heat of boredom ‘til my face is melted off and my brain is bleeding [and] aching with exhaustion. I always need something more to keep my mind stimulated, to sell this fucking sick façade of competence. We’re all scared of our own selves, constantly distracted with some pleasant taste or sight or sound — [and] I’m the champion of that. But I always mangle the frame and stretch the folds over the corners to make the story fit my memory.
4.
Usually, I wake up from some nightmare that’s taken place in my childhood home. I tried to pull the curtains closed, but they’ve seen me from the road; now, they’re knocking on the door; I’m pretending no one’s home. I tried to lock all of the doors, but they’re swinging on their hinges, and the bad guy’s walking toward me in the driveway. But when that day really comes, I will open up my arms, dive into its yawning mouth, and let it swallow me whole.

about

A Real Echoey Approach Kansas City, Missouri

If you're more or less wanting to get into some real specific patterns and different things -- some wind-swept looks and different stuff like that -- you need look no further whatsoever.

A Real Echoey Approach is yet another project from the fertile mind of Dylan Beck (Heidi Klum's Bangs, Carlo dell'Aquila), whose aim is to conjure inexplicable beauty in fragments of noise.
