New/Same 03:31
NEW/SAME Enter speed of light Into the nothingness Leaving all behind Supersede and find Among the mess you’ve left Amnesty and time You bark like hound Sound like a wolf Won’t stop till you’ve found You prey You intercede and lie To cover emptiness And the ruins of your crimes You know you will ... Dug your eyes So please do stay Farther from me Farther from me You know you will ...

Fiction 03:08
FICTION While you’re free, I’m fancy Courting fresher blood Filler for my psyche Till there’s some Sense of purpose, maybe More or less what sought Still it beats the loneliness that was Our mystic love Mystic love ... Automatic feeling When I think of our Bodies laced together Necks and arms Warmth of your deep breathing Fiction of my mind Holding me an evening Holding me an evening Months to travel on Mystic love ...

Subterranean 04:02
SUBTERRANEAN Dreams of our... Dreams of quantities Of qualities For us Dreams of whatever be Whatever When it hurts it hurts When it feels it feels When you know you know When it hurts it hurts You go down the well ... The pinkish hue Of this faint Night Sky The scales of grey, of blue The rain that’s shy The bashful night The subtle glow Yet radiant And warm It holds me Like arms When it hurts it hurts When it feels it feels When you know you know When it hurts it hurts You go down the well ...

Heights 04:43
HEIGHTS Spinning of thoughts Voids and losses Myriads of plots Enough to reach summits Might as well combine Affliction with denial Insurmountable heights Yet I keep ascending While I’m on the rise Keep me out sight Passive withdrawal Wasted silence Absence of laws Empirical violence Empirical violence Romanticizing of the poets Beacons of the past Relying on deceased figures Swallowing eternal lies They let me be My subtle teachers Influence in my demise If I commit to suffer Will the rest of you at least try Insurmountable heights Yet I keep ascending While I’m on the rise Romanticizing Beacons of the past My obsessions Numbing me and cutting ties If I commit to suffer Will the rest of you at least try

Wandering 04:55
WANDERING Walk away in style Once again it was a wandering Why Thought that each other might It’s much easier to say than find The right one The right one Now all alone you try There’s no need to keep pretending While Trusting that you’ll get by In time Dive to the river of your thoughts You’ll get through this The river of your thoughts Dive to the river of your thoughts You’ll get through this Dive It’s not because feelings Simmer down That you got get with it You don’t have to stick with it You better redeem it Stillness clouds Your true desires Got to stay Aligned Trusting that you’ll get by In time Dive to the river of your thoughts You’ll get through this The river of your thoughts Dive to the river of your thoughts You’ll get through this Dive

Contemplate 04:21
CONTEMPLATE Every time you’ve said goodbye It’s been your loss But you Hadn’t felt enough And you Wanted all but one Every time you’ve told A lie It hasn’t gone It lies ahead Over there But you know That it’s Worth the fight It is Bound to arrive Patient you seek it Abide Every time you’ve felt the urge To chase one more You’ve been Scared to love Yet you Try Visions of a better ride Steers the course It leaks in my head It rings my bones But you know That it’s Worth the fight It is Bound to arrive Patient you seek it Abide Don’t look back for Hidden signs that fool Don’t look back and Value the strength it took But you know That it’s Worth the fight It is Bound to arrive Patient you seek it Abide

Haze 04:48
HAZE Hey, I don’t wanna wake up I don’t wanna wake up from this Dark Haze Huff n puff n puff The mighty dragon smoke Toughen up my luck And soften up my sores Wake up Wake up Hey Is this Hell Is this life consuming slowly Till we’re screwed Hey, is this Hell Last night I had a dream I might forget today I faced up all my fears And clouds they dissipated My spine was straight Straight as a spear My mind awake I will address my pain I will reclaim my way Wake up Wake up Hey Is this Hell Is this life consuming slowly Till we’re screwed Hey Is this Hell Is this life consuming slowly Hey I don’t wanna wake up I don’t wanna wake up from this Dark haze

Heavenly 04:17
HEAVENLY Heavenly Patron Bodiless view Beyond Perceived truths Clever the ghost are Consciousness you Afar Tell me how to I am still conversing with it It is strong and so were you Heavenly patience Towering moon To calm Subdue Keeper of darkness Powerful you To calm Show me how to I am still conversing with it It is strong and so were you With a blink of an eye, I recall it Keeps me warm Quiet eyes You see me try Tranquilize Longing to soothe My nights Broken thoughts
9.
Hot Blooded 04:49
HOT BLOODED It gives me chills It’s eating me whole The tacit guilt The listless response There’s a knot in my plexus From the heat of it all Equanimity of silence is a fraud Unjustify and ban All the sinners May your reign end now Slow-burning Insurgence Hot blooded Nothing can truly heal what’s been done The past exists and cruelty evolved On my hand there’s a stigma In my truths there are flaws The severity of this damage has a cost Exemplify and change The current weather Now Exemplify and ban All the sinners May your reign end now With this uneasy feeling We have readily become This new era’s vigilantes Hunting Vermin We are Slow-burning Insurgence Hot Blooded
10.
REINCARNATION Patterned noise Lion pride Victim boys of my past life Hurdling back Crawling through To evade from the past and Choose Infinite atonement Rebirth Sinless for a moment Reincarnation Reincarnation Subject of Another story What is done is left behind Never wrong Just pretending A recipe for guiltless minds I wanna be Where I belong And I’ll be free When I’ll be home I wanna be Where you belong All free All free

about

"(...) Broad explorations cut concisely into ten tracks. Production in which the best imperfections stick and broken sounds are made elegant. Where they pitch shift and crush a voice into multiple sides of a self. The collective experience of Ariane and Christophe is audible, and underneath it, unmistakable shades of musical influence from their formative days in two facing bedrooms in the 1990s—their progressive and very personal take on those trip hoppy sounds of alienation and outlet, the weight of the world above made suave."

about

Lesser Evil Montreal, Québec

Ariane and Christophe, who grew up strangers in houses next to one another, met years later and morphed into a haunted two- headed beast of a musical duo as if it was
always in the cards. Driven by Ariane's vocals, Christophe's electronics and a shared propensity for
refined-meets-broken production, they plumb the depths of sound and mind in ways equally intense,
intricate and immediate.
