As the heart atrophies, words lose meaning. Numbness consumes. Yet in the darkest night, the flame of hope burns brightest. The fourth chapter; crawling, is an intimate portrayal of the dark recesses of the soul: beginning in depression, losing the self, spiraling into madness and ultimately arriving at despair. To truly know one's self is to face one's most terrible demons. crawling melds dark, down tempo, electronic music with an industrial aesthetic and haunting ambience. Warm, melodic and intimate; to listen is to walk the path. released September 15, 2013 music and art by aaron russell additional vocals and lyrics by karra russell digital release courtesy of crl studios copyright 2013 aaron russell
