    oh you cruel, cruel aristocrats..." NEW DEMO POSTED

    I was originally going to release this song on the next MOFH LP pending changes in arrangement, but given the song's relevance to the events of recent weeks, I decided it would be the best thing for our "career" to trot it out as an e-single.

    So enjoy! Sorry if it's sloppy, we're just trying to cash in like everybody else!

    feat.

    ...it seemed to me, finally, that its very bareness, its absolutely
    unswerving path, its exposed skeleton, so to speak, was its wisdom
    and even its charm.....and must not be tampered with.

    you had come here in secret and returned and i barely saw the image against the warm grass, it was more like a doctor or soldier. because to accept this breeze is to continue to choose, to distinguish.


    we will be at cake shop next week, see you then....
