Intense Lyrics (The “Orange” Album)

I was originally working with some orange noise, using a short passage to prompt deeper homes for relatively intense lyrics. You can hear it at the beginning of these songs: ‘Orange Peals’, ‘Juice’, ‘Crush’, and then the much more light-hearted  ‘Orange you Glad?’ on the album Flip!

The songs on this album were all going to have that one component in common, but over time I was also writing lyrics about other topics  (without incorporating the orange noise) that were just as intense, disinhibited, and explicit (in tone and/or vocabulary), so I decided to devote this album to that depth of expression.

That change would allow the Other album to be published without needing to attach an explicit vocabulary advisory, and it would make it easier to know which albums I would be relatively safe in playing around younger listeners. 

Hwimsicore varies in luminance, and these songs definitely display the deeper shades.
