NIGHTFOREST (again) is a new collaborative rework of ako's 'NIGHTFOREST', described as '...an addictively uncomfortable track, squelching its dastardly tentacles under your skin and into your mind, and squatting there, just waiting for you to go back and press play again. It calls to mind the most abrasive music of Aphex Twin or Clams Casino' by Max Pilley for Fresh on the Net.

Badger are a two piece alt pop force hailing from Newcastle, mixing melody with a narrated existential crisis. Listeners are advised to abandon all prior convictions.

lyrics

Lemon wedges, so neatly,
Stuffed in to mouths like smiles deceive my eyes,
Vacuum packed souls still question why two piercing portals,
Left with nothing but assumptions,
Vessels shipping faux ideals,
The surf conceals what lips may hide,
Cast vanity aside,
Self conscious ears hear all but lies,
Peer exported pride,
Once we wandered side by side but I lost my stride.

In the mud footsteps grow,
They dance through the snow,
Marching in melodies you'll never know,
A forest to sow,
From memories unknown,
Wait by the night,
For the branches to show.

I swear I felt the wind caress the hair
That once brushed the top of my ears,
But I didn't,
So I turned to enquire upon the intruder of my senses,
Hoping I might come to them along the way,
Counting footsteps,
Visible only by daylight creeping through the branches,
Causing snow to melt and quench the earth
As I transcend in to a calmer state.
Retracing memories cast as embers,
In half light I remember.
