Sometimes it is the case
To shout blindly on the top of a hill
to summon forward the good
Or what is needed for growth
There is something that is within
That seeks expression
Made out of endings, that appear like beginnings
That something; is like a ‘charge’
Which secretly wants exhaustion
To manifest fully and then destruct,
Transformation
Galvanising matter and soul
A miraculous display
If the Oceans part ways
Then you will walk through
If the earth shifts and an opening appears
Then you will walk through this
And I will meet you there
On solid ground
I will stay here
And you will listen for the openings
When they appear you will walk
And I will meet you there

' Memories come and go in procession, lingering, then dissipating. A feeling of drowsiness creeps in from the beginning, as if we’re in the limbo state between dream and reality. It makes for great headphone listening. “If I am rational,” says another voice, “I speak with the voice of ghosts.” ' The Quietus - Sukanya Deb, July 3rd 2018
' It’s edgy and profound and not something that fades into the background. ..an extensive journey filled with the possibilities of continuous movement and progression through space. ' Part-Time Audiophile - Joe Surdna, August 12th 2018
every TOTS LP is a trip, but this one is like a technicolour hurtle down that kaleidoscopic 2001 corridor that turned this murderous ape into an interstellar baby full of stars. eldudowski
Daily focus-training coupled with strong work ethics pointed toward making life more bearable for others, could turn around this age for the better. This album is beautiful. A force for good. CHOSEN
A split from modular synth wizard Nils Quak and free-form psych duo Flamingo Creatures splits the difference between cosmic and organic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2020

As usual, Kirby manipulates various interwar records to fit a cavalcade of emotional states: blissful (B1, E8), tragic (D2, D5), frantic (E1, E6), and just plain horrifying (F3, G1, H1, K1). gjoe52
