White Noise by Apparitionist

well it's here. not much time has really passed between EPs to this, but i hope some sense of growth is seen through here. in particular, i noticed that a few of these songs are among the fastest and angriest i've done, maybe because i got further into school as it was made. plus, i discovered lightning bolt and they really influenced a few songs on this record. idk about everyone else, but i do hear some obvious influence in here in a (hopefully) good way. like how the first track is sorta white suns, the second is sorta lightning bolt, and the fifth one is sorta orchid. funny that the untitled song was originally really slow but i decided to make it fast, for no reason. this was all made in about two to three months by me, with help from mike and dick. unfortunately hugh and michael both went on to play in another band called the oracle which is more journey-ish. mike and dick came on only weeks before this was actually done so their parts were all pre-written, but i played all of them. every song title purposefully had one word as well. anyway, hope you enjoy this LP and expect many more EPs and whatnot to come about. hopefully a few EPs will come in the near future, so stay tuned. btw, this is sequenced for vinyl (1-4 A, 5-9 B).

what other's thought:
"With Apparitionist’s debut full-length, entitled White Noise, he’s successfully expanded upon the darker, rawer style from False Euphoria."- Mandarins

"epic sampling"- supercoolguy

"10/10 it's okay"- frippertron

thanks to my dad for building a studio in our basement, thanks to anyone who jammed the first two EPs, thanks to fripper for tolerating my vox, thanks to jake for providing artwork and giving me inspiration to do this, thanks to mike watt for talking to me about punk rock, thanks to the boston and portland government for making me miss shows for dino jr., self defense family, swans, and a bunch of others (thanks for treating music like background noise for partying). thanks to them again for making me realize how great fugazi and btmi were. thanks to chad for distancing yourself from what you were two years ago, thanks to shawn for making me a better drummer, thanks to my brother for laughing at my vox, thanks to my town for inspiring me to make angry music, thanks to the other band called apparitionist for making me imminently change the name, thanks to justin trosper for convincing me i could do vox, and yeah that's pretty much it

"If we are unable to unify the past, present, and future of the sentence, then we are similarly unable to unify the past, present, and future of our own biographical experience of life. By molding the past into visual mirages or stereotypes, we effectively abolish any practical sense of the future and of the collective project, thereby leaving the thinking of future change to sheer cataclysm."
