7" translucent blue mono vinyl EP including 4 songs form the album. Comes with a digital download of the full album as well. These records were cut on a mono lathe cutting machine from the 1940s, originally designed for the radio. They are recorded in mono at a lower volume than pressed records. Aaron Jennings at Listening Hat Records spends a lot of time getting these to sound as good as possible, and to my ears they sound great. But don't expect them to match the sound quality of the best 180 gram vinyl in your collection.

lyrics
This machine is poetry in motion
This machine works best when it’s broken
This machine is something to see
This machine is me
This machine is
This machine works twenty-four seven
This machine keeps working when it sleeps
This machine is guaranteed to break down
Eventually
This machine is me
Information
It is a notion
I cannot wrap my head around
Information
It is a ocean
I cannot jump into
Lest I soak my circuits and burn out
This machine’s uncertain where it came from
This machine’s just a lever for some fulcrum
This machine no longer hears the soft hum
Of its own energy
Stored potentially
This machine is me
Information
Endless abyss
I wipe my data with a kiss
Information
Endless kinesis
This machine is helpless when
This machine is powerless
This machine is …
Me

The arrangements are complex and engaging, almost every song has a bridge that pulls you sideways in the best way, the lyrics are often simultaneously emotional and hilarious, and the strings, my God! John Brownell
MikeTV is always at the top of his game releasing music of insane quality AND quantity. This album is more Get Set Go greatness with catchy melodies and smart and sometimes crazy lyrics. UmbraeSoulsbane
What a trip this EP is. The arrangements here are off the wall. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the different elements and layers that were added to each song.
At the top of the EP, the tone of the guitars made me stop what I was doing and appreciate the sound. I felt enveloped by warmth. That transition in the middle of Kellyanne felt like something straight out of the Beatles. Wonderful. I think the somewhat melancholic ending was a brilliant call. Fantastic time, can't wait for more. bradkallhoff
