Living this caffeine dream
Is taking its toll on me
I worship the chemicals
Blurring this line between
Love and dopamine
Until it’s invisible
Watching my own thoughts suffocate
Drowning under amber waves of ad space
Sucking in some rat race propaganda
So we travel the stars in our avatars
Begging heaven for a reset password
Oh I think this world apart
Till my brain runs out of breath
It’s like an armageddon in my head until there’s nothing left
It’s a blue pill kind of life
When you haven’t lived one yet
Just skipping myself to death
All for the end of the ad
For the end of the ad
For the end of the ad
Ghost in a sad machine
Feeding me fantasies like it’s algorithmical
Blurring this line between
Medicated me and what was original
Staying young
Going numb from
making all our moments into rock shows
Life behind a not so candid camera
So we travel the bars in our avatars
Making memories we manufacture

Ryan Parks has tempered his eclectic dancefloor sound here for night riding—all dreamy textures revealed by melancholic synths, distant guitars, and twinkly percussion. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 4, 2023
The French producer's debut makes an ideal chillout soundtrack, its synth jams swirling with Balearic textures and hypnotic trip-hop beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.
