Rebellion. Ruin. Repentance. Reconciliation. Restoration…



For the lost highway called, and so we went and lived loosely,



squandering our estate on expensive fuel in lowly service



We searched for glory and could not find her. We tried real hard,



and for a time we thought we had her in our grasp. But in the



morning, we pulled her lashes from our mouths, and her bullets



from our spleens and left through a back alley, limp and feeling

We searched for opportunity and could not find her. We signed up



to her mail out. But she phished us for our last drachmas, down



graded our devices and hash tagged our ruin.



We searched for wealth and could not find her. We tried real



hard, and for a time we thought we clutched at least her shadow.



But she deserted us on a sinking raft, and left us to starve on



the outskirts of the eurozone.



We searched for death and could not find her either. We tried



real hard, and for a time we thought we’d been invited to her



table. But she was just a common cough we caught mining crystals



So after laying with swine for too long, we grew hungry for the

so we’d exiled him to the bars of Soho, letting him sink over a



limey larger, while Rev. D seized some spotlight. And amongst a

Our 13th to date, this record is a marauder of pure, soulful Rock’

one is a notable departure from our W.O.M.B.L.E series of



mixtapes released in 2013 and 2014, though we ain’t repenting for



no experiments made. Does that mean we’ve slowed down the tempo?



Hell no! You’ll find a new wave of seedy acid lines steering



those trademark Alabama 3 beats, through Larry and D.Wayne’s



absurdist brag, Aurora’s soulful cry and Freebase branded licks.



We’ve done it all to get lost again, and the best way to ensure



this happens, is to send us back out on the road. The first leg



of our national tour will begin in Southampton on October 29th,



kicking off a circuit of the UK with more dates to follow in



Maybe you’ll get lost with us. Maybe you’ll find something you
