In Limbo 05:08
I'm on the highest plane This world I reign So much to gain I fall the highest fall I lack it all I keep myself in limbo Feel safe within my mind I sway my head in limbo There's no need to decide And when your head explodes Will you keep me close Or let me decompose How long's too long we'll see Will you wait for me I keep myself in limbo Feel safe within my mind I sway my head in limbo There's no need to decide

Maniac 05:17
Steps I take Never rushed Love I make Never enough to get out of here Anchored near Hard to steer out of these common reliefs Maniac Take control Have my back Open wide Swallow me whole Give me birth Feed me the earth Watch me grow in the mirror Here's to the gray To the gray world The gray town The gray river offers a ride Up the nighttime lights Here's to the half To the half full The half grown The half open lid harbors sight Of our newborn lives Flash of light Flesh of mine People's lives Intertwine Someone is always there Taking care Making sure everyone holds back their tears Maniac Take control Have my back Open wide Swallow me whole Give me birth Feed me the earth Watch me grow in the mirror Here's to the gray To the gray world The gray town The gray river offers a ride Up the nighttime lights Here's to the half To the half full The half grown The half open lid harbors sight Of our newborn lives

I struggle to recall The dreams I want I need those sweaty halls Drops from the ceiling Old hag will you come To take my breath away And I become One with my yearnings A toothless grin I'm giving all I can give But still I keep falling Enigma kin I'm giving all I can give But still they keep calling Our daily invocation Our dose of desperation Our daily invocation I better stop unbracing laces Tied to keep us right in place Far from temptation Baby I'm a liar when I say That I am doing fine But I'm alright A toothless grin I'm giving all I can give But still I keep falling Enigma kin I'm giving all I can give But still they keep calling Our daily invocation Our dose of desperation Our daily invocation Pick some flowers Commemorate your past Engraved on your eyelids

Wash 06:50
Feeling surfeited From too much information My whole life like A simulation I wanna be an animal I long to lose control Bury my bare feet In unusual soil Wash me away For I need Distance to breath My own remedy I gotta heave that body up I'm having trouble breathing The man on the screen says Don't lose time competing I can't miss out on things That really ain't worth keeping Vomit it out to Keep sucking it in Wash me away For I need Distance to breath My own remedy Walking up the shoreline Ships to carry me away Am I just a bitter man Still waiting for his grand parade Walking up the shoreline Ships to carry me away And do you ever realize The distance in each other's eyes Or am I just a bitter man Still waiting for his grand parade Wash me away For I need Distance to breath My own And so we pray to god This whole place paranoid

Revolt 04:42
9 p.m. marks blue light And be safe means keep alone Still I'm roaming streets at midnight And yes mom I'll come home Borders beginning to blur Who am I in this struggle And do I fight the right things Compliant to the bone You say it's not the real thing And we're puppets all along Maybe we should start a revolt And give ourselves a reason How many lies till the spire blows up How many cries till messiah comes down Hello my kind stranger I know we've been real close Intimacy's endangered Can't tell if I'm a ghost Can you grab my translucent hand Don't let me trail away Maybe we should start a revolt And tear this ghost town down How many lies till the spire blows up How many cries till messiah comes down How many lives till the fire will stop How many lies till the spire blows up
6.
Come on beat me up So I can go I'm caring so much more Than I can show Just so you know Just so you know Don't reach inside my cage And leave me burned When all my thorough thoughts Get overturned Just so you know Just so you know Satisfaction is a treacherous moon child Intoxication be the trick up your sleeve This generation is a bunch of attention whores A murmuration of exceptional leads Just so you know Just so you know
7.
I just leave behind The smell of nitric acid No I can't Allow you to Reveal my darkest secret The canvas sweating blood Upon my hand This red stain screams Old friend lying dead There at my feet Oh sweet Venice I can't forget The smell of nitric acid Yeah I tried Leave all behind There's no escape From you The canvas sweating blood Upon my hand This red stain screams Old friend lying dead There at my feet Oh sweet Venice

Slowly 07:08
Oh my love Just drop it in the mailbox And give me one more minute So I can forget Oh my love The days keep getting shorter You're stuck behind a train That's going nowhere We spin within the madness we create Our minds are drawing circles in the sand We spin within the sadness we exhale Maybe there's no way Are we taking it slowly What's the time again Will the river embrace me Or are we left behind Oh my love Just drop it in the mailbox And take me with you now Now time goes by Slow Another distant remorse You've seen it all But you can't get enough Boy do you know whom they call For all I hear is the promise of sirens Are we taking it slowly What's the time again Will the river embrace me Or are we left behind We spin within the madness we create Our minds are drawing circles in the sand We spin within the sadness we exhale Maybe there's no way Are we taking it slowly What's the time again Will the river embrace me Or are we left behind

about

Songs between dream and reality, between intimacy and alienation, between gray mining towns and a society fat on digital carbs. Sounding intimate and almost fragile at times, you find yourself floating through psychedelic soundscapes before getting struck by a wall of roaring guitars. Sometimes dark and depressing, sometimes energetic and colorful. And sometimes both at the same time. A hint of nostalgia without ever feeling dated.

... the dreamy guitars with volcanic eruptions, the giant bass bottom, the dramatic big drumming and, Johannes' vocal aesthetic that feels lost in the space of his poetry, languid, mournful cries and tonal resolutions as lead guitar lines feel like they are literally shooting a million miles into space.
- American Pancake

Modern shamans of music still exist, and Digital Carbs are looking to make themselves belong to that tradition.
- Alt77

The arrangements have depth and it is all carefully curated to a degree that one pines for even better headphones to fully capture the majesty.
This is an incredible debut release, fulsome, ambitious and most of all not extinguishing the light when that might have so easily being the denouement.
