Spark Shelter from Conduit by Manholes
A low, metallic thrum begins, charting the sheer ingenuity unearthed deep within the city’s forgotten infrastructure. This is where Tommy’s hands coax a raw current from discarded batteries, a stubborn pulse of life refusing to be extinguished. The composition presses at the edges of sonic stability, marked by abrupt electrical surges that briefly reduce the sound to pure static. Then, the full, gritty hum returns, amplifying the sense of hard-won breakthrough. Listen for the fuzz bass grinding against sharp guitar feedback, a sound forged from the struggle of bringing power to a forgotten space. It is the sound of wire-spun warmth illuminating what was once only darkness.

Lyrics
Tommy strips the copper wire
Voltage sings through rusty veins
Car batteries in serial chains
Voltage climbs through makeshift gains
Junction boxes jury-rigged tight
Tommy's hands bring tunnel light
Amperage flows where hope remains
Current cuts through poverty's pains
Resistance drops, the power grows
Through copper paths salvation flows
Turn the spark into shelter (shelter)
Wire the dreams we're building here
Turn the spark into shelter (shelter)
Make the darkness disappear
Ohm's law and love combined
Leave the broken world behind
Insulation wrapped with prayer
Grounding rods through concrete prayer
Fuse box built from salvaged care
Tommy's skill lights everywhere
Circuit breakers guard our lair
Kilowatts and hearts we share
Resistance drops, the power grows
Through copper paths salvation flows
Turn the spark into shelter (shelter)
Wire the dreams we're building here
Turn the spark into shelter (shelter)
Make the darkness disappear
Ohm's law and love combined
Leave the broken world behind
***
When the grid above fails
Underground power prevails
Tommy's hands steady and sure
Make the temporary endure
Turn the spark into shelter (shelter)
Wire the dreams we're building here
Turn the spark into shelter (shelter)
Make the darkness disappear
Ohm's law and love combined
Leave the broken world behind
Turn the spark into shelter

We crawl through forgotten tunnels with guitars and hammers, turning rust into rhythm. Steam pipes become our church organ while vocals cut through concrete like prayer. Built from scrap metal and broken infrastructure, our songs map the skeleton beneath your feet.
