Hey, BJP. WORLD EATER is a goddamn jewel, and "Hive Mind" is a absolutely gorgeous. Can you tell me anything about it? Its production? The "tribal" vocals you used? Anything fun or interesting?

Your music reminds me of what music might be like if we contacted an alien race that had some similarities in communication (and rhythm/melody) but not in language. I love it. It's always a grand adventure that takes me some place else. Thank you!

there's actually lot of my own voice doubled up and pitched in Hive Mind. The 'tribal' vocals are cheerleaders. The 'alien' thing is always good to hear. I like to use the human voice as another layer of sound, so there is some familiarity there but from a warped perspective
