    Are you an angel, and you *really* want to help us recoup what we spent to press this ourselves? For $100.00 USD or more, you could own one of the six test pressings we get back from the factory. Hell, I'll even throw in a hand-written thank you letter, and Logan will draw a Bigfoot on it. Bigfoot the creature, not the monster truck. Actually, if you specify that you want the monster truck, he would probably do that too. You will also get:

lyrics

Spin, electric eye
Sky peeling, parting the way for you
Grin, aphotic mouth
That pulls the white reflection down
I align, I de-align
I mark the seams in endless starlight

Ice in the tears
Of your moon-blinked eyes
Ice in the brain stem
Godspeed = lightspeed

If it’s just a dream I’m screaming
If it’s just a dream I’m swinging wild and wide
In a terror haze I feel it
Accelerate and arc the endless running ray of time

How we tumble out and separate
And how I fumble reaching for your hand
If it’s just a dream I’m screaming
On the banks of null I’m pleading I - I - I - I - I - I
I don’t want to die out here
(In endless starlight)

In endless starlight (x11)
In endless stars

A stream of frozen skies that spread above the traveler, the revelator
I scream to frozen skies that bloom above me, and a god that loves me

Head full of flame when I look in your eyes
We’re flung from the wheel
You made the whirling world stand still

Head full of flame when I look in your eyes
We’re flung from the wheel
You made the whirling world stand still

Head full of flame when I look in your eyes
We’re flung from the wheel
You made the whirling world stand still

"Enemy Airship creates a sound that is atmospheric yet tightly coiled, its guitars and synths bleeding together to hint at garage rock, indie-pop, New Wave and experimental tones without ever picking a side." - Aarik Danielson, Columbia Daily Tribune
