my partner and I covered the song "Ohio" by Damien Jurado. Check it out if you're in the mood for some chill tunes.

ohio - cyntrix & the pilot [hyperpop cover]

original song: Damien Jurado

My fiance and I have been a fan of this song for ages so we figured we'd put our own spin on it! We hope you like it.

lyrics:

if i'm face to face i'll turn away call for me i'll change my name

look for your virtue in another place when i fell you closed heaven

so i repel to spite your existence fuck your hell beg for my forgiveness

i repel i repel i repel i repel

i repel (repel like a magnet, break me down i'm a fragment) i repel (repel like a magnet, break me down i'm a fragment) i repel (repel like a magnet break me down i'm a fragment) i repel (repel like a magnet, break me down i'm a fragment)

continue to anticipate as if it is my will to dissipate so i just imitate echo incarnate

blissters - cyntrix & the pilot

There needs to be more depressing Christmas songs so we are doing our part to bring them into existence.

lyrics:

Once I dreamt nothing but Cold Decembers The snow soaked through my gloves I craved the blisters

A reflection of what's inside But softer, more places to hide Somewhere north, far away A direction to look in

The gift of persistence You're so resilient I can't imagine I'm so sorry that happened

It's so quiet, all of a sudden Tears fell down Froze into a tundra Can't keep warm under Bright lights stripped of wonder

Life can't happen here

All I want this year Is to break apart and disappear Like the man I forged from snow Button eyes, artificial soul

strange device - cyntrix & the pilot

Stream Bandcamp Soundcloud

My partner and I self-produced a 5 track EP called 'strange device' which is an exploration of the darkest recesses of the human condition. It was our intent to deliver a massive, atmospheric sound that embodies the complexities of trauma, grief, and existential dread. Themes of wrath, anguish, moral scrupulosity, and the inevitable decay of life intertwine with visceral explorations of martyrdom and nihilism.

‘strange device’ is an ambitious and immersive journey into the darker corners of the human experience. Created by the duo cyntrix and the pilot, the album weaves together a powerful blend of distorted guitars, heavy bass, breakcore drums, and choral-style vocals to create a moody and sinister soundscape. Thematically, it delves into complex emotional realms, exploring trauma, grief, and existential dread alongside deeper themes of generational curses, moral scrupulosity, and the psychological toll of CPTSD, anxiety, and depression.

At the heart of strange device lies the title track, a cinematic rock piece that balances the album’s extremes of sound and emotion. Featuring a dynamic range of distorted guitars, synth solos, and obscure sci-fi-inspired effects, this song embodies the duo’s signature blend of intricate sound design and emotionally charged storytelling. It draws listeners into a world where personal suffering is inextricably linked to larger existential questions, offering moments of both despair and resilience.

The album represents a significant creative leap for cyntrix and the pilot. Pushing themselves beyond the electronic realm, they embraced a wider sonic palette, incorporating electric guitars, six-string bass, drum kits, and even field recordings to achieve a massive and atmospheric wall of sound. These experimental techniques were designed to reflect the album's colossal themes—nihilism, spiritual psychosis, wrath, death, and the decay of both body and mind.

In ‘strange device’, the duo confronts the agony of being born into a world darkened by the weight of past generations. Through this sonic exploration, they pose a singular, poignant question: when surrounded by the darkness, do you surrender and darken with it, or do you rise to become a beacon of light?
