Better dead than red state. Just because they feed you shit you don't gotta clean your plate. Scare tactics and religious malpractice. Not the America I'm proud of. Not the America I know. The devil's gonna pop up and frighten you, ensnare you. The channels change but the blank stare remains firmly in place. We need distactions, meaningless captions and death to remind us we're supposed to bite our tongues. Secure in our headaches, earthquakes and Catholic Guilt. Wake up and defend yourself from broad daylight. Just keep yourself behind locked doors. But you can't fool me. I remember. You can't fool me. Not that clever. You can't fool me. You're not as clever as you think. We will never forget but we all have amnesia. The root causes are too displeasing. Better just to feign superiority. The moral majority can kiss my ass. Cuz I just want a brighter tomorrow. Bread and circus public cervix announcements, I'll denounce this. Their will to power play, false faced morality. Oh my God did you see that sex tape? Oh my God I love that show. Oh my God did you see that horse race? You didn't know? Oh My God the actress is pregnant. Oh my God, she got a facelift. Oh my God, he's caught with a whore... You're not as clever as you think.

We are here, we're having our say and we're gonna do just what's on our brains (so let me turn it out/so we can work it out) And we'll create a wonderland (tell the story again because I can/show me your cards/show me your hand) Some things need to be kept alive, like childhood delight Like staring at the sky on Christmas Eve, look for that light Like cats that grin and say ,"let me try it my way before you say it can't be done." And we'll create a wonderland (tell the story again because I can/let me into your heart/show me your hand) The harsh realities of life we aren't trying to hide, but how can we put them aside with no imagination? So give me room to run and find my second sight. Take a drink, I'll take a bite so I can change my size. And we'll create a wonderland (tell the story again because I can/show me your cards/show me your hand) We are here, we're having our say and we're gonna do just what's on our brains (so let me turn it out/so we can work it out) *- this song was inspired by The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor and my own childhood memories- mye

We Live In This Communication ------------------------------ Is there anything you wanted to ask me? Something specific that you want me to tell you? If it's within my power I will answer. Or are you looking for a certain dynamic? Is there something that you want me to stand for? You know the reason why I'm here, my dear. We Live In This Communication, Can I give you what you're missing? The modern world is moving so fast and I don't have a problem with that. As long as we can find a future, I'll be here. But what if this whole world just dissapeared and we were left with just a blanket of stars? Would you miss the trivial entertainment and fancy cars? My desire is so strong it ties you up in knots. Event horizon won't be long so give it all you've got. Let's make the night last. C'mon, let's make the plot twist. Throw your head back and laugh, cuz we were made for this. We Live In This Communication.

about

Morgan Y. Evans and Chris Heitzman present, as the next release from the solo/collaborative Walking Bombs project, an EP called 'Broken Provinces'.

'Broken Provinces' was originally intended to be the follow up to the defunct indie project Black & White Universe's 2013 album 'Hummingbird' (blackwhiteuniverse.bandcamp.com/album/hummingbird), an utterly slept on full length indie rock/electro collab between Morgan Y. Evans and multi-instrumentalist Chris Heitzman. Unfortunately, a crashed hard drive and life upheaval scuttled the duo's follow-up plans.

In the time since Morgan became much more involved in Walking Bombs and Chris is now the bassist of the very acclaimed legends Mercury Rev.

Fast forward to Sept. 15th, 2022. While looking for childhood photos to post for their sister Cambria's birthday, Morgan chanced across the sole backup copy on cd of the missing EP. Tears of joy were shed and now you all can hear this lost fruit of two overly restless minds.

'broken provinces' is now being released as a Walking Bombs collaboration, since it is rather different than the original Black & White Universe record anyway and heads into more devilishly stompy, mischievously playful or folky storytelling pastures (while still having an odd Depeche Mode worshipping detour or two). Fans of The Decemberists, Of Monsters and Men or Titus Andronicus will likely find some kindred intentions here.

Sad thing is, many of the issues sung about on some of these tracks have only gotten worse.

All the same, it feels great to have this see the light of day and hopefully lift some spirits.
