about
Kasson met Elissa when he opened for Kodacrome in Brooklyn with his cinematic downtempo band Symbion Project, and knew immediately that they should collaborate on a song together. "Engine" is a hybrid of Kasson & Elissa's pop sensibilities. The track demonstrates their collective passion for layered melodies, winding synthesized progressions, and ardent belief that sometimes you just have to dance off the sadness.
lyrics
you didn't know it at the time
but i had an engine sputtering within me
and i had a pulse
you could have called it something else
but i had a hope muttering within me
and it wasn't false
he had an orchestra inside of him
quelling the messiah, cutting through the quiet
splitting through the fog
he cast a villain on the timpani
drowning out the hero
sounding an alarm bell
and it wasn't false
two lines in the void running similar directions
can go on forever without making Xs
it's more geometric than it ever was tragic
boxed up like a present from onset to ending
it seemed like such good planning at the time...
but i had an engine sputtering within me

splitting through the fog
he cast a villain on the timpani
drowning out the hero
sounding an alarm bell
and it wasn't false
two lines in the void running similar directions
can go on forever without making Xs
it's more geometric than it ever was tragic
boxed up like a present from onset to ending

WOW this album grew on me fast. My favorite track changes frequently. Step into the Sunshine is brilliantly sinister, Memory disappears beautiful and melancholy. Right now Rare Bird is an amazing unicorn chaser.

This release is fabulous! And they timed the release perfectly in time for Halloween. Freezepop always has the best beats and sounds, and such dreamy vocals. Definitely worth listening to, again and again! Highly recommended! Xoxo
