Oh, my brethren I am falling can you save me my prey sings so I’m praying oh, and please stay, to oblige my fury oh, stray

One step, forward onward cycles growing living, dying I hold in one hand water to quench the thirst in the other the blood and sweat of another I've seen angels between cracked glass I've seen angels between veins of stone an angel (my little angel) how sweet is your reach in salted storms and shadowed clouds as one slips down further underground Toxic born and bred blood turns into lead chained down to worth child of the Earth I've no answers, but I've seen angels I've no answers, but I've seen angels

They say we’re alive what my bellow, says ode to mind and we’re playing in the light of my story ode to mind and we’re playing in denial of mourning ode to mind and we’re playing ode to mind and we’re playing in denial of a falling to make other planning I long ode to mind and we’re playing slow ode to mind and we’re playing in light of the day to be forgo all the way to me in light of all the weathers in light all was it to be for you I’ll write the final pieces though bored of all the ways I caught you I caught you

about

City & i.o are immensely proud to present Chaos is God Neighbour, the full-length follow-up to their 2019 record Spirit Volume. This new release finds the musicians digging into murkier depths than Spirit Volume, and features extensive contributions from collaborators Dis Fig, aka Felicia Chen, x/o, aka Veron Xio, and vvilms, aka Aaron Wharton.

Composed at a frenetic pace over several weeks in mid-2020, the claustrophobia is palpable. As the album progresses the tracks get both shorter and progressively more brutal, interrupted by brief moments of respite. Throat-shredding harsh vocals provide a high watermark in intensity, while the expansive performances of Dis Fig and x/o serve as vantage points over the morass, giving the listener something both beautiful and human to grasp. Careening from rich synth work, to distorted guitars in alternate tunings; from i.o’s virtuosic and unhinged drumming to slabs of harsh ambient noise, this is a genuinely ambitious and rewarding album.

The front and back cover artwork is courtesy of legendary Games Workshop illustrator John Blanche.
