about

To our dearest listeners,
We are so excited for you to hear new music from our upcoming album. This first track, "Hazardous Material" was an experiment using more home recording knowledge and new techniques Kris has learned in the past two years. This track will be the beginning of our most musically ambitious album yet, with themes excavated from years of intense inner work. Though we've changed a lot from our first album, the recordings we're bringing to you on this album are finally coming close to what we've always wanted to share with our listeners. Mark and Michelle have left their day jobs to focus fully on bringing you the best album possible, and Kris has started professional work as an audio engineer to make sure it sounds as incredible as it possibly can with the resources we have at our disposal. We are so excited to hear what you think about the new material, and we hope that you enjoy it.
love,
Platypus Egg

lyrics

would that I could shed my empathy
spew it up release the flood in me
dripping in awareness in the presence of emotion
jolted into experiencing another's ocean

fight for control against the onslaught of the waves
but I'm swept away into a brackish grave
in danger of drowning beneath your wave
tumbling underneath the breaking crashing spray

would that I could shed my empathy
spew it up release the flood in me
dripping in awareness in the presence of emotion
jolted into experiencing another's ocean

Hazardous Material
sordid your sins, I can attest
feelings ethereal but
holding them in can manifest

Hazardous Material
sordid your sins, I can attest
feelings ethereal but
holding them in can manifest

would that I could shed my empathy
spew it up release the flood in me
dripping in awareness in the presence of emotion
jolted into experiencing another's ocean

fight for control against the onslaught of the waves
but I'm swept away into a brackish grave
in danger of drowning beneath your wave
tumbling underneath the breaking crashing spray

would that I could shed my empathy
spew it up release the flood in me
dripping in awareness in the presence of emotion
jolted into experiencing another's ocean

about

Platypus Egg San Diego, California

Platypus Egg began back in 2008. United by their fascination with experimental music, they began to explore a way to make music that could bridge all their tastes. Their sound slowly morphed from jarring, and at times uncomfortable to a coherent, vulnerable voice. Fans usually say "You won't get it by just listening to one song. Once you hear 8 or 10, that's when it starts to make sense" ... more
