Planning For Burial – A Flowing Field of Green

It’s Closeness, It’s Easy Out May 30 Via The Flesner

Mourning Out Now Via Hand Drawn Dracula!

Things I miss about not being in Canada. 1) Dill Pickle Chips (Crisps). 2) Being able to catch Bonnie Trash on tour.

The Age of Ephimerality Out April 25 Via Pelagic

Confusing music with a clear message.
