The Anxiety Wheel
Circle, circle
Close the circle
Think a thought to death
Spin and spin and spin and spin
Never ever ever win
Tide goes out
Tide comes in
Days expire
Years begin
Something in a weary head
Before the dawn tossed out of bed
If this then that
Then tock then tick
Then hide in closet
Worried sick
What I thought of yesterday
Plagued me the next morning
It followed me like a dragon
I hoard my fear like gold
I thought a thing
I fought a thing
My sword broke and it won
And it still follows
Across gray hollows
Down the bowels
Of a troubled Earth
So here I hide and here I wait
Alone—not lonely—arriving late
And leaving early
Do not disturb the dust upon me
And every chance that was every day
Crept and wandered far away...
The wheels turn, but the
Wagon never moves
The oceans churn, but the
Shipmaster disapproves
Quiet, quiet, quiet, in the
Vast and darksome quiet
A ripple stirs the silence
And the wheel starts to turn
It grinds and it groans
Like teeth and moans
In a clock that never ticks
In the aching gears of Atlas
In the halls of rusted bones
Circle, circle, close the circle
Think a thought to death
Round and round
A gruesome sound
As I am lowered
Full of regret into the quiet ground

Secular Works, Vol. 2
by Extra Life
supported by 32 fans who also own “The Anxiety Wheel hypersingle”
Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music.

Thymiamatascension
by Alora Crucible

Hard to compete with They Are The Shield for me, but this stands up to it. Barriers Hymn might be the strongest emotional reaction I’ve had to a Driver piece since The Second Operation - so excellent.

Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea
by Olivia Block
The Chicago composer turns her own grappling with Covid isolation into a kind of imaginary sci-fi soundtrack.

Music for Mourning
by Poppy Nogood
Inspired by Steve Reich and Terry Riley, this contemporary composer and violinist creates pensive, minimal-but-emotional work.
go to album
Gnarly punk rock from the Philadelphia duo is unhinged in the best way, an in-the-red sonic assault a la Motorhead/Stooges.

Everywhere at the end of time
by The Caretaker
supported by 26 fans who also own “The Anxiety Wheel hypersingle”
Actually astounding and emotionally moving, creating a community that I have been proudly a part of for 2 years
