about

COIL takes place in a not-so-distant future where social networks, become actual networks, enslaving humans in a digital social contract that removes individuality in favor of forced harmony. Throughout the storyline being explored in Warm Cyborgs, each song has examined a different aspect of "waking up" from this un-natural utopia. With guest artist Above the Snow Line adding some very dramatic synth instrumentation to the track, it's tonality is a mixture of relentless anxiety, anguish and release. Produced with love as part of the Abrasive Monologues Creative Co-Op.

COIL, is an example of the merger of two genres, and two very intense artists' unique personalities to create a massive soundscape that is equal parts haunting, driving and enveloping.

About Abrasive Monologues?
Abrasive Monologues began as a record label to publish the work of indie artist, Jonathan Hadley, but after becoming part of an indie artist community the vision was expanded to symbolize a cooperative spirit within the indie music sphere. Abrasive Monologues is now more of an idea and creative think-tank that produce collaborative works at a scale much larger than an indie artist would typically take on by combining our individual talents and producing music together.

Abrasive Monologues is the flag under which indie artists Jonathan Hadley, Above the Snow Line, Kanilrós and others come together to make something more powerful, more impactful. The line-up of artists participating changes over time.

lyrics

I was tangled in the coil
Around my neck
Needed you to ground me out
Before I lost myself

These days of transactional decay
Have got to have an ending
I hope we're still awake
When the network starts to break
We'll spin the drives down slow
I'll take your hand as the archives
Turn to sand and finally feel
You on your level

I'll finally learn the art of letting go

I was tangled in the coil
Around my neck
I needed you to ground me out
Before I lost myself

I was tangled in the coil
Around my neck
Needed you to pull me out
Before it burned me down

I'll finally feel you on your level

I'll finally feel you on your level

I was tangled in the coil
Wrapped around my neck
Needed you to ground me out
Before I lost myself
All these days of transactional
Decay have finally lost their meaning
The network hums hoping that we'll
Come undone because it can't relate
And I'll take your hand
As the fires rage
and feel you on your level

I'm gonna teach the art of letting go

Of letting go

I was tangled in the coil
Around my neck
I needed you to ground me out
Before I lost myself

I was tangled in the coil
Around my neck
Needed you to pull me out
Before it burned me down
