new album - UNKILLABLE ANGEL
Added 2025-02-02 20:00:00 +0000 UTCthe name of this album refers to the me who is a scared little kid. they're unkillable because, after the hell of this year, i realized i had no choice but to always protect them. they're unkillable because they've got me, and together nothing can stop us. this is the only way forward. i love you.

2025-05-28 20:29:04 +0000 UTCbeen a huge fan since we first sobbed listening to 2020 knives on Sunday (Dear _____) :D idk if its ever a thing talked about but would love to hear instrumental version of existing stuff if you were ever inclined. your music has been massive for me during and before my transition <3

2025-05-15 22:46:58 +0000 UTCI've only just recently found out about your stuff since ugly death and I was blown away by lots of your tracks. But this thing is just on a WHOLE different level. The production, the identity, the message all just perfectly marry together to form this unapologetically unique and emotionally moving album. I give this rat kid adventure a magnificent 10/10!

2025-03-10 18:08:16 +0000 UTCI mean this as the highest of compliments: your music sounds a lot like what I wished I could make back when I was in high school. My two gay friends I made through Gaiaonline who introduced me to noise/industrial music would have considered this a classic. I heard a bit about what happened but I intentionally refused to look deeper because I felt it was none of my business. Hope you’re doing as well as you can.

2025-02-17 02:38:45 +0000 UTCi was out of the country so i didnt get a chance to listen to this until now, but oh wow, it might be my favorite of yours since shed blood... i looped it the whole plane ride home, the tracks towards the end nearly made me cry TT wherever you are, i hope youre clawing your way back to a better place than the one you wrote these songs in

2025-02-16 08:17:38 +0000 UTCamazing listen. added to the list of rook albums that i adore but are just a bit too close to home to be regular listens for us (big complement in case that sounds odd) thanks letting us have this experience. <3
