karenswan21 I'm absolutely ecstatic that Aether has blessed us with this magic 💜💫 Favorite track: The Masking Process (Nightbird Hellscape Mix).

brentculshaw I've been looking forward to this release for a very long time and it doesn't disappoint! Anyone who cannot fall in love with Aether's soaring, tortured, impassioned and heroically vulnerable vocal style and lyrics is clearly missing a piece of their soul. Thank you Aether Valentine. Snake Medicine makes me cry 🖤. Favorite track: Snake Medicine.

1.	The Masking Process 02:36	lyrics	buy track
I want to dance in moonlight But I forgot my mask I want to party with my friends But you took them away Now there's only us Now there's nothing left We play the waiting game Who's gunna go first You left us with nothing Yeah you took it all and went You poisoned our mother You killed the kids We're coming for you Oh you better run 'cause oh you cannot hide Prenom d'assaut la Bastille Qui era le premiere
2.	Snake Medicine 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Stuck in the middle The places inbetween Not sure where to go Or what it means Used to be a part of me Of that I know I'm sure But without these pieces I'll be a truck no more Used to be a place to go My amniotic void Might not make sense but hey I am an android Maybe I'm a cyborg I can't quite tell the difference Not sure if anyone else can But I'm just Gundam wing it The system has frozen I fried the connection The input was greater than me The system has frozen I fried the connection The input was greater than me The input was greater The system has frozen Once it began I couldn't meet my eyes Stifled a cry as I felt you die What have I become I'm sorry for what I've done Cold and alone On a bathroom floor Never felt such pain before Everything must pass Nothing's meant to last The system has frozen I fried the connection The input was greater than me The system has frozen I fried the connection The input was greater than me The input was greater The system has frozen Everything must pass Nothing's meant to last

about

My debut EP, the title track of which encapsulates the anger, uncertainty and rising resentment of our covid year under an oppressive government that cares more about money than human life and the future of our planet.

This EP would not be if not for the love and support of friends and family that gave me the confidence to speak. Thanks to Anna and Nick Wright for teaching me to believe in myself and a special thanks to Carl Philip Louis*, Karen Swan, Declan Kitchener, Brent Culshaw and Laura Lou who weren't bound by blood to do so.

*we did do that blood ritual tho
