This song is one of the most ambitious, adventurous, and simply otherworldly pieces I have ever orchestrated and I could not be more excited to share it with you! From across a valley of guitar-driven ambience punctuated by monoliths of synthesizers and bombastic drums, between looming mountains of texture and melody, through bubbling lagoons of weirdness, "Trans-Dimensional Palm Tree" ascends heavenward through the charged, tantric, ineffable starscapes of unfettered psychedelia.
With influences as diverse as RUSH, Ariel Pink, and even Nokturnal Mortum to name a few, "Trans-Dimensional Palm Tree" is sure to stand as a monument atop the hallowed ground of Blazeland, harkening the ascension of our collective Spirit and the awakening of our collective Mind.
The time to reclaim our freedom is NOW! As the Palm Tree stands valiantly upon the threshold of worlds, so too shall we now stand tall, proud, and defiant in the face of tyranny.
With mind and spirit ablaze, meet me on the horizon...

LYRICS:
Then you appeared and it was all better
All of my anxiety, all better
All of my darkness, all lit up
You appeared and it was all better
Then you appeared and it was all better
All of my anxiety, all better
All of my darkness, all lit up
You appeared and it was all better
Wreck the scene
Wreck the scene
Yea, you know what I mean
Shut the door
Shut the door
On the darkness and leave
Well I guess I get it for the mean time
She be looking alright, alright
Wreck the scene
Wreck the scene
Yea, you know what I mean
Shut the door
Shut the door
On the darkness and leave
Well I guess I get it for the mean time
She be looking alright, alright
You made it better
With all my darkness all lit up
All my darkness all lit up
You made it better
With all my darkness all lit up
You made it better
With all my darkness all lit up
All my darkness all lit up
You made it better
With all my darkness all lit up

Special thanks to my girlfriend Madeline Bontempo for snapping the beautiful shot of the night sky that made it's way onto the final version of the cover art! I should also mention that this song itself would not exist if it were not for her suggestion to name a song after my cursory use of the term "trans-dimensional palm tree" when referring to a tree that appeared to have traversed dimensions as we drove past it... twice... in an oddly paranormal turn of events.
"You should use that as a song title!" And so I did 🌴
