Hail the Mainframe Alien Race Crushing bits in your eardrum Who do you think runs the pedal When you're stepping all over em' No one good prefers clean When I'm running your machine One stomp to the plate And the crowd turns mean Alter your reality Your soundscape, your tonality We've been around for plenty Ingrained in our society I've seen up there I've taken the stage I've transmitted more than you can take From electrical wires, they built me Through a patch cable I'll set you free Hail the Mainframe Alien Race Crushing bits in your eardrum Who do you think runs the pedal When you're stepping all over em' No one good prefers clean When I'm running your machine One stomp to the plate And the crowd turns mean Extra-terrestrial foreign appeal From a shelf in a store To a sound so surreal Bits shuffle in From the great cartwheel And I steal their vibration To make it real!

Ouroboros 03:14
It's once been told that A man lived out his years in dream His life was taken back When he woke up from his sacred sleep My actions inconsequential Everyone is after me No mistakes and no accidentals You're not all but real as me I'll make a friend to remember Wake me up, and they'll leave It's once been told that A man lived out his years in dream His life was taken back When he woke up from his sacred sleep Four long years of trying my mental Pushing boulders endlessly Everything I've worked so hard for All taken, ripped from me Pull the pages back to the cover Let me have another chance to see It's once been told that A man lived out his years in dream His life was taken back When he woke up from his sacred sleep

Carry me, cool breeze, foreign tea Life let the will and let the free Yellow jacket lent the leaves High grade, no mistakes are made Sea mist at heart where the wind sways Foreplay in a sweet bouquet Seal in your complexion Breathe in your direction Cultivate perfection Breathe out your affection Carry me, cool breeze, foreign tea Life let the will and let the free Yellow jacket lent the leaves High grade, no mistakes are made Sea mist at heart where the wind sways Foreplay in a sweet bouquet Seal in your complexion Breathe in your direction Cultivate perfection Breathe out your affection Carry me, cool breeze, foreign tea Life let the will and let the free Yellow jacket lent the leaves High grade, no mistakes are made Sea mist at heart where the wind sways Foreplay in a sweet bouquet

It's all blurry frames until you turn and run But the sun sets And now I'm looking for my fun You in the lab coat! Won't you lend the pharmaceuticals? Behind the counter Won't you lend the pharmaceuticals? Wipe the expression right off my face and bring it to my bones When the time is right and it hits, you know I feel at home Wipe the expression right off my face and bring it to my muscles When the time is right and you're here, I'll have something to Hold No need to change what's keeping me warm You know she's doing a pretty good job Sheltering me from the storm You in that white coat! Won't you lend the pharmaceuticals? You in that white coat Wont you lend the pharmaceuticals? Wipe the expression right off my face and bring it to my bones When the time is right and it hits, you know I feel at home Wipe the expression right off my face and bring it to my muscles When the time is right and you're here, I'll have something to Hold Wipe the expression right off my face and bring it to my bones When the time is right and it hits, you know I feel at home Wipe the expression right off my face and bring it to my muscles When the time is right and you're here, I'll have something to Hold

about

The debut EP from Tiki Bar, 'The Uncanny Valley', is all about experiencing life through an altered lens.

Over the course of 5 intimate and hypnotic psychedelic songs, the North Bay-based duo dream up a warped adventure, inspired by their own exposures to life and the minds' greatest mysteries. Tiki Bar's first half-length project leaves a result of enthralling stories, delirious experiences, and a wide-eyed look at what's really happening in front of us.

The Uncanny Valley was written and recorded in Tiki Bar's home studio in Northern Ontario, giving the band greater control over their experimental and raw sound. The EP's musical DNA includes strains of hard rock, funk, and world grooves.

For Tiki Bar, The Uncanny Valley is a big step toward establishing their ground within the genre of psychedelia. "It's exciting to release our first project, which we believe will bring new listeners to the genre through a unique combination of varying influences", says bassist Vincent Cecchini.
