Chordline Memories from Groundsworn by Benchset

The worn pages of a Level Book begin this one, pulling back through decades of field notes and ghosts. It's a raw confrontation with inherited wisdom, an aging surveyor tracing lines his grandfather once laid, finding a language in faded ink that cuts through time. The structure shifts, deliberately, from a fragile acoustic pick into a full-band surge, like catching a glimpse of a memory then being pulled under its weight. This isn't just a song; it's the sound of memory itself unwinding, those delicate clean guitar arpeggios fighting through static and tape loops, showing how the past bleeds into every present cut. Central themes of legacy and the relentless grind of what survives—the knowledge passed down, the boundaries fought for across generations—are dug up here. This track pulls hard on the profound contributions of those who came before, their hand-scrawled insights shaping the very ground we stand on. It's an emotional trajectory, from faint nostalgia to the stark realization that some marks, though half-erased, stubbornly endure.

Raw angles and bleeding feedback—we throw measuring chains against the system. Our riffs mark boundaries between rage and repair while vocals stake claims in the dirt of what's true. Every show's a rusted benchmark, a raised fist for the ground-level grinders.
