Christine Mitchell I was listening to this EP with headphones. During the screeding guitar within the verses of Mantra I kept inching the volume up. This is something that happens with this EP no matter what speakers are being used but this time I realize that I’ve negated the purpose of the phones because my SO is hearing it all, head bobbing along. The ice pick incisiveness/timeliness of the lyric is driven along a grinding low end. Yet there is such a layer of glee over the whole thing. It’s infectious. I’m infected. It’s excellent. Favorite track: Mantra.

He’s just distracted by the past because he’s waiting in line He’s got a swastika tattoo, he’s got a daughter behind He says he’s “not a bigot,” he’s “just led a colorful life” He’s go a problem with the way that things been going this time He guesses: “I was the key demographic, you were plaster and static.” White men feeling the decay come out to protect the stupid motherfucker dynasty They just embarrass themselves Don’t wanna be left out “Nobody matters like me!” Well everybody’s just been living it up — Stealing it from me The piles of unread books on my bedroom floor… They say it all for me Well I’m just too busy They don’t give me time to breathe Saturday we’re going steady Sunday I’m alone, you’re free

Mantra 03:40
They’re calling for the end, but no one’s taking it They need some entertainment, but nobody else is faking it Just like the brain races the body to death, we got a vision for the future path The future age says we’re running out of sages thisfuturesagesays: “become weak, forgive the heat, watch them burn, fill the urn” Grew an illiteracy power field! I fertilize it with the weight loss pills… They’re railing Prozac in the basement ‘cause they don’t know how to feel… Come forth my children, heed the call of hate! We’ve got Ohio on barbiturates! Somebody stick it to the caliphate — connect that power plug into his veins. Become weak. Forgive the heat. Watch them burn. Fill the urn.

Character 03:45
You were so invested The pool has been infested It’s people eating people And someone else’s ego Is making you a target A military target These systematic artists Are making you a target I still remember all the corporate spies watching me Tried to synthesize my sense of self but they’re still missing me I feel so dead, but I know that the artist is staring at my face The truth conceptualized a lie machine — he touches your waist We keep the gods in line. Power is an ugly shape. I keep myself divine, mortal sage to mortal sage. We’ve got a pressure mine waiting for the magistrate. I keep myself divine and mortal. Life, pain, death: just a phase. Try: light yourself ablaze. We keep the gods in line. Power is in ugly shape. I keep myself divine, mortal sage to mortal sage. We’ve got a pressure mine waiting for the magistrate. I keep myself divine and mortal.

about

IN NERVE, IN SOUL, IN ANIMUS, NODRA PRESENTS "Mantra EP"
A trio of songs to be played at extremely loud volumes in the car, quietly to sleeping children for educational purposes, or blasted from the little speaker on your cell phone in a public space so as to indoctrinate unassuming coffeeshop dwellers, pharmacy clerks, et al.
Recorded in a fake studio space built to subliminally advertise Coca-Cola at the top of a Seattle high rise hotel.

NODRA! The only organization and action council not afraid to ask the question: "Is music personal?"
IS the glorification of Personal Music a LUDICROUS EGOMALFUNCTIONAL SHAM?
NODRA invites the world to discuss this issue.

We are a force of nature and fashion!
We stand in the interest of soul power!
We stand! In the waste-land!
Join us, why don't you!

Sincerely,
NEW ORDER DRAGNET OF REVENGE ARTISTS
