How do not more people listen to this band they’re really good

The army might be small but the army is strong

Taylor Swift is more imPORtant doncha know 🙄

[@davemilk8520]

Who would've thought they could "out-do" one of their best

[@richhayes4359]

I wouldn't say "out-do," because of the apples/oranges differences in the versions, but I'm definitely surprised that they could do a 'different' re-make that I like AS MUCH AS the original. Very...atmospheric.

[@davemilk8520]

"Out-do" not out-do..like you said

[@pinetreetemple4611]

I don’t like the original version much, dis one good really though.

[@sparkedindignation7774]

I fucking love this version too, it's so beautiful and haunting.

[@mundofabi]

The fact that this is not on any other streaming platforms is a cultural crime.

[@argueyourpoint1825]

I bought the vinyl when one came available...just had to have it!

[@Nowheremovies]

holy shit they actually managed to make it better than the original, the absolute madmen

[@yansslut7535]

imagine if they remade another space song or the entirety of comfort but with ken mixing it

[@GoblinWar]

Omg omg omg, how am I just now hearing this? It's like a completely different song. So good.

If it makes you feel any better, you were a year ahead of me.

And me!! Just heard it today and now I can’t stop playing it.

Lyrics I've been freezing my time I've been slowing my breath I've been saving my soul I want you to freeze to Are you haunting me again? Are you thawing out my head? I want you to get out... I'm on an ocean that has a brain and makes us dream I'm on a mission to wipe imagination clean You grow inside me dying time and time again I'm on a mission to escape from what my life has been Without you I've been hiding in snow I've been treading on ghosts Are you haunting me again? Are you burning up my head? I will never solve algebra of need Any thought just might turn to flesh and drag me back to life

[@BeardofBeesPool]

Reminds me of the song "Not Your Kind of People" from Garbage.. Both have a spacy surreal feel to it.

[@Spudnik44]

Yeah I like the old one more personally, but this is actually a really good version of this song. The old song itself had a haunting theme to it and I like how this one just amplifies that effect.

[@Ilovehops629]

🤯 how did I just find this?! They have OUTDONE themselves... God I love this band

[@Shadywolf09]

For some reason, this version reminds me of Cowboy Bebop in its entirety..especially episodes Juniper Jazz part 1 and 2.

[@twodivision]

It sounds as if deftones made a cover of this song, which I`m surprised they didn`t, since this band was quite an influence for them.

[@Ovo926]

Ok. Who did it! 😡. Who hit the dislike button! We need to talk!

[@hexywesky]

They were crying too hard and clicked the wrong one

[@KayleighStarkey12]

Fr fr, lemme join that convo

[@jonnyjacoustic]

Please don't ever take this down. I can't find this version anywhere!

[@silentphil]

I would never! Only if the band asked me to. Kellii has shared it on social media so I hope that counts as some sort of unofficial blessing

[@aidanmcgunnigal9394]

Sounds like a bond theme.

[@alfredolecuona7284]

Superb!!!

[@eyemalien]

this song gives me chills, so perfect that both versions are fucking killer and necessary

[@sebastienberube1157]

this song is absolutely based on the stanislaw lem book, solaris. and it is perfectly creepy enough to represent it.

[@silentphil]

love it. it took me way too long to make the connection (as obvious as it is) but once I did, some of the lines always give me goosebumps. "any thought just might turn to flesh and drag me back to life". very haunting

[@sebastienberube1157]

silentphil ''i'm on an ocean that has a brain and makes us dream'' that is definitely describing solaris.

[@d1sp0s1t10n]

Space rock band Failure's album (1996), Fantastic Planet, Track 9 (Solaris, composed by Ken Andrews), summarizes some events in the novel.

[@alpheuneto6551]

amazing song

[@Blech319]

It's literally called 'Solaris'...

[@chrisfisher6529]

Probably a dumb question, but is there anyway to get this version of the track on a CD (on their pledge one perhaps)? Or is it only Vinyl?

[@WALLYDRAG502]

it reminds me of almost what deftones did with mini maggot. i dig it.

[@tornadorundo]

it's kinda reverse tho, pink maggit was the original, the record label said "we like the chorus of this song, but we need it to be in a more commercial song" so chino, sort of out of spite, wrote mini maggit to prove how easy it was to make a hit.

[@Ghoster311]

Dreamy

[@kolbywinn1402]

Turn to flesh and bring me back to light part sounds a lot like chino moreno from the deftones. It's ken but its got that vibe. I thought chino tried to get ken to produce a deftones record once back in the day? What I heard anyhow. So good.

[@ssawyer64804]

like this version better .......

[@moppenboek]

I's almost like this is 72's Solaris and the other one is for 2002's more fast pace remake.

[@silentphil]

I like this theory

[@fullyawakened]

This sounds like a Deftones cover almost. extra haunting version

[@serot0ne]

So fucking good cAnt believe it

[@kirja9674]

What does Shrine sound like on the limited vinyl? Did they remake that too?

[@RandomRaconteur]

I really want to know the answer to this question too. If they remade Shrine just as well as this track, I'm dying to hear it.

[@WDEberhardt108]

Oh god i hope

[@tb.7788]

what the fuck i need this vinyl. there’s only 300 copies but i need to find it.

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

Not as good as the original but if they used this in a horror movie it would really add to it

[@sebastienberube1157]

dude, its already based off a book and 2 movies, a russian film, and a english film. look it up.

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

sebastien berube i know, i'm just saying

@@mmattcisterna5591 it pays the least per stream for every artists and failure doesn't think it's fair for such a large platform to provide less then a cent of revenue for their own song pet one song streamed

Pretty sure that’s just Greg haha

[@dakotan9310]

If anyone is into this kind of thing I'm uploading a slowed/reverb version of this song on my channel

[@sabianharris8201]

Who does the vocals for the verses? Does anyone know? The chorus sounds like Kevin for sure, but the verses, can't tell

[@silentphil]

It's still Ken on the verses. Greg does the higher backup parts.

[@sabianharris8201]

Awesome...is it me or has his voice improved quite substantially? got that Chino Moreno soothing vocals going for him...quite a beautiful version in my opinion.

[@silentphil]

Yeah his voice is better than ever and is even more versatile on the new album. Check out the song I Can See Houses for more of that style

[@sabianharris8201]

Awesome bro.. I've heard the live version..is there a studio version?

[@dylandankowski9676]

Check out year of the rabbit if you haven't already good stuff

Huh, the ending is Segue 8
