Future...? (Future) from Awaken by Treasure Town

From Jeremy: "This was one of the last songs Collin and I wrote before we separated. I was playing music off and on with some friends in Santa Cruz who were forming a prog rock band. Collin and I took a trip up to visit them and jam and smoke copious amounts of marijuanna. While we were there, they offered us pill capsules of pure psilocybin, which we were excited to try. It was such a small dose, however, that we felt completely sober, so we drove home kind of miffed. When we got back, sometime after dark, we wanted to get out some frustrations, so we started recording this track. It all flowed out of us that night and we were left with a really amazing piece of music. I think, this song more than any, really captures the vibe of our state of mind at the time that we were working on all these songs. We were heavily influenced by the movie Tekkonkinkreet, and for awhile, we felt like we were living in that world. To me, this song sounds like that world."

The guitars were badly recorded, the vocals were off key, we used drum machines, it was recorded on borrowed equipment from a drug dealer during a period of serious emotional stress and a grave exuberance for life, we never got it properly mixed before we lost our hard drive, we broke the instruments we used, put 1,000 miles of distance between us, and it was the greatest album ever written.
