We are in a constant process of discovering who we are. No one ever really knows themselves. It's a human journey of discovery that can never quite be fully realized. 'In The Dark' captures the essence of this notion, the line, "No one's coming home and the truth is you're alone, in the dark," is a reflection of this notion and tries to encapsulate the emotions surrounding self-discovery.
lyrics
I've been walking in slow motion, staring at the sun
I'm looking for a hole through the barrel of a gun
I'm sifting through the tide of an open ended storm
No one left to warn, I'm in the dark
I've been looking for an answer, reading all the stars
There's no one looking down, pretending from afar
This patience is a virtue but winter's setting in
Your facts are simple fiction, of questions that begin in the dark
No one's coming home and the truth is you're alone
In the dark
Lately I've been feeling down and out
Only lonely time and time again
Maybe I've been down this road before
This time it seems
It's all too much to bear
I've been laughing to myself, as the story just gets worse
I guess you're just offended by every single verse
There's nothing left for me to say that Bowie can't say better
Burn away the ties that bind as I destroy your letters in the dark
No one's coming home and the truth is you're alone
In the dark

After I discovered GUNSHIP with UNICORN, I went through all their material in a rush. They're whole discography is great, and I think this is the greatest. This album haunts me. I can't listen to it once. Even if I turn it off, I still hear it echoing in the back of my mind. GUNSHIP has a mastery of the bridge that reaches the level of mastery in this album that's just unrivaled. If you get only one album from GUNSHIP, get this one. Mailanka
A fun single from Android Automatic. "City Heat" is explosive disco with an outrun pace, an anthemic action tone, and guitar synth accents, including a rapid-fire solo near the middle of the track. It's dangerous while driving. "Last Kiss" is a gentler, slower track whose percussive claps feel so distant that they sound like snapping fingers. The thing that really grabs me about "Last Kiss" is the higher-pitched synth line, which along with the astral chords gives the track a very dreamy feel. kmxexii
