Chillmander The most underrated band out there! Why more people don't love Rare Monk I don't understand. All of their albums are amazing and this is no exception. The beautiful, haunting music with dark undertones is simply like nothing else. Favorite track: Goodbye.

Space Song 03:43
Close your eyes Let them slide back in your head Arise, awake with the sun It's not like the sun to drift away, no, no It's never really over It's never really over for you We're only getting older, true But all of us will drink of you I'll never be over I'll never be over you I'll never be over I'll never be over you Drink your fill Drink up the dead Crystal clear and refined It's not like they'll mind the brief refreshment, no, no It's never really over It's never really over for you We're only getting older, true But all of us will drink of you I'll never be over I'll never be over you I'll never be over I'll never be over you

Goodbye 03:15
Slow down you’re never gonna summon up the sun this way Chill out you’ll only keep the darkness here another day Goodbye now, be off with you, it’s all for you No ties now, so be off with you, it’s all for you, everything that we do Tear up the photos of your children back before they knew Close down your syllogism’s tough enough to see us through So lay back you think your cryptic heart is big enough for two Head first it’s easy when you know the sun is comin’ soon So goodbye now (goodbye now), it’s all, it’s all, it’s all for you (everything that we do) No ties (no ties now), it’s all, it’s all, it’s all for you (everything that we do) Goodbye now (goodbye now), it’s all, it’s all, it’s all for you (everything that we do) No ties (no ties now), it’s all, it’s all, it’s all for you (everything that we do) Goodbye now, be off with you, it’s all for you No ties now, so be off with you, it’s all for you, everything that Goodbye now, be off with you, it’s all for you No ties now, so be off with you, it’s all for you, everything that we do (everything that we do..)

Furnace Glow 03:32
Emerson in the embers, never warm enough Elegies in the cinders, it’s never warm enough to thrive Kafka’s smoke in the rafters, a metamorphosis to flames Murakami’s a phantom, maybe real enough to survive When it’s over, we’ll feed page by page to the furnace glow When it’s over, we’ll feed page by page to the status quo, to the furnace glow All the thoughts that compel us, they’re never strong enough Now all that I can remember, it’s never warm enough to survive When it’s over, we’ll feed page by page to the furnace glow When it’s over, we’ll feed page by page to the status quo, to the furnace glow (...)

Bitter Baby 03:46
Wake up, drive fast, make it in time so I can disappear Released, so drive home, make it in time so I can never sleep Sludgefest paralysis, nothing can change ‘cause no one gives a fuck But it’s fine, all good, let’s just obsess over the indolence Slow down, it’s not like they care about you Go home, save your creation for what counts Released, so drive home, nothing can change and no one gives a fuck But it’s fine, all good, let’s just obsess over the indolence Slow down, it’s not like they care about you Go home, save your creation for what counts (...)

Stasis 04:18
Stasis, don’t fight the change, just lead the way Don’t chase it, ‘cause the more you fight, the more you drive it away (take me soon) So take me too, ship me to the moon Take me soon, it’s not over ‘till you ship me to the moon Shapeshifts, don’t blink they happen while you’re looking away So just leave it, turn off your phone, yeah I’ll be back in a day (take me soon) Take me too, ship me to the moon Take me soon, it’s not over ‘till you ship me to the moon (...) Don’t wait, it’s not like you’ll lose it all Trust in American wherewithal, just don’t lose your faith So don’t wait, it’s not like you’ll lose it all Trust in American wherewithal, just don’t lose your faith, but don’t wait Take me too, ship me to the moon Take me soon, it’s not over ‘till you ship me to the moon (...)

Cuneiform 03:20
It’s not a heart attack baby, it’s just a universe drawn in your hand No it’s not a heart attack, so wait for me baby, it’s just cuneiform drawn in the sand so wait I’m never coming back, so wait wait, to a universe drawn in your hand I’m never coming back, so wait for me, it’s just cuneiform drawn in the hand so If I drift away, don’t try to follow me Don’t try to follow me Don’t try to follow me Don’t try to follow me back home I’m never coming back, so wait wait, to a universe drawn in your hand I’m never coming back, so wait for me baby, it’s cuneiform drawn in the hand so If I drift away, don’t try to follow me Don’t try to follow me Don’t try to follow me Don’t try (...)

Silverlake 03:10
Praise the rain The bitter mossy mist that morphs into haze When sunlight breaks through So freeze the fog Condensing droplets crystallize and decay The moss beneath them So don’t you get the urge to complain You should move back home to Silverlake Just move back home to Silverlake Don’t you get the urge to complain No you should move back home to Silverlake Just move back home to Silverlake It’s the same decay We’re moldy on the outside, what can I say? It’s better than the inverse Always pay to play When everyone’s an artist, no one partakes Of what’s created So don’t you get the urge to complain You should move back home to Silverlake Just move back home to Silverlake Don’t you get the urge to complain No you should move back home to Silverlake Just move back home to Silverlake Just move back home to Silverlake You should move back home to Silverlake Just move back home to Silverlake Just move back home to Silverlake Move back home to Silverlake You should move back home to Silverlake Back home to Silverlake You should move back home to Silverlake

Arrows 04:24
Hold me down Deep underwater, until the bubbles stop Wake me up, to hunt me down I feel the arrow, always so swift and silent Run, trust in the speed of sound You can’t be touched, a lightning bolt to ground Trust in the rusted gun, you can’t be touched as you’re falling Hold me down Deep underwater, until the bubbles stop Wake me up, to hunt me down I feel the arrow, always so swift and silent Run, trust in the speed of sound You can’t be touched, a lightning bolt to ground Trust in the rusted gun, you can’t be touched as you’re falling Trust in the speed of sound You can’t be touched, a lightning bolt to ground Trust in the rusted gun, you can’t be touched as you’re falling (...)

about

Rare Monk is a Portland, OR based indie rock band with a keen sense for writing songs with an Orwellian level of awareness. While writing the band's forthcoming and fortelling sophomore full-length, Never Really Over, the future (i.e. 2020) had not yet arrived. By no means is this album a gloomfest, but at its core is a central thread of ever present looming dread at the end of the world. Of the bursting of bubbles, of the decline and devolution of America back into the dark ages, of book burnings, witch hunts, of vapours only releasable by exsanguination. Of a surveillance state, of the demonization of science, of persecution at scale, of the normalization of greed, idiocy, cruelty, and death.
