But when can I buy it on vinyl? I want to hold it in my hand 😢💞

[@62falconizer]

Rad that you have these available. I will support this effort. Plus I really want to see the transcriptions! Great record. My new favorite.

[@landrybasket]

I think this is the perfect song to end an album, you guys should be proud of what you made

[@brandanlennox331]

You must have four brains. No other explanation for these patterns. Adam’s vocals are sublimely beautiful on this track, too.

[@Shitockiful]

dude I feel fucking way my brain is literally scrambled

[@Daug7add9addb13]

Those are adams vocals??

@@Daug7add9addb13 Yes indeed they are!

I just seen them live his speaking voice is entirely different. I'm really shocked lol.

[@Adimant2097]

woah, I *just* realized why that quote hit so hard "All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; *unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again* " - Ecclesiastes 1:7 Incredible song, one of my favorites next to Macchina

[@kunstderfugue]

Super powerful phrase.

[@jfleminator]

Perihelion is such an awesome song! You guys and Joshua de la Victoria would be a true supergroup!

[@matishabtay5361]

This is my fave track from the album! The 7 is just so fluid, and them the breakdown to 5 is just so good. It's reall nice how musical these odd tuplets can be

[@JEKaviator]

My personal favorite on the album, and very inspiring for me as a beginning drummer. Also, petition for this song to get a proper Ben Levin animation

[@aloysiuskurnia7643]

When I hear that synth intro, my brain just lost all the ability to feel emotion There's... *something...* in it that tries to pull my soul out. I just don't know how to feel it but I'm damn glad I do.

[@Simrasil_]

love the mini snare, it gives me dnb/breakcore vibes

[@jamisonandrewmanhorvaththe1124]

i think it’s one of those newer 6-10" (this one being the 6) Tama mini-snares.

[@dat_chip]

What a beautiful track. And it didn't even feel weird despite how complex the rhythms are. It just felt natural. :)

[@raphaelkelly861]

I seriously love this track do much. The chops, the instrumentation, the arp sound, the vocal register, the tonal mixture, the lyrics, the polyrhythms, the structure, the break, the little flourishes ... all of it is incredibly well put together. Well done.

[@Mrhadatte]

One of the sickest projects on earth. Math can be beautiful when it's this intimately understood. I'm here for it

[@dualdiabolo]

Shawn this track is ridiculous! Just bought the transcription and looking forward to getting my head around it 😵🤘

[@laptok]

Wintergatan vibes with odd times. Love it.

[@Profmillar]

This is an absolute journey.

[@oscargill423]

Wow, I've never been this early. Trippy song, I love it! Edit: HE DID THE VIRGIL DONATI DIVIDE

[@jacobwright4653]

I listen to this song and “Macchina” every time I go for a drive. Such groovy rhythm. Your music is inspiring.

[@mmmbetter55]

Truly sublime cymbal work Shawn

[@Jademalo]

Gotta say this is my favourite from the album, absolutely adore it

[@philippetoudic2423]

First and foremost, this is a beautiful track! Congrats on making the crazy stuff work on an emotional level.

[@baorozzo]

This is my favorite song of an album that i think it’s hands down the best album I listened the last year. I can’t thank you enough!

[@iloveNgany]

Blown away first time hearing anything like this

[@an_annoying_cat]

i dont know what it is about the graininess about the synth in combination with the odd time signature gives the song such a trippy vibe

[@lastditch727]

That's the smoothest friction I've ever felt.

I love that what the playing sounds like is nothing like what it ends up being. Brilliant, and I'll be grabbing the transcriptions too!

[@wurdofwizdumb1928]

Hey Shawn! I hope you see this. I have never heard a song that inspires and brings such emotional wonder. This is true artistic mastery. Thank you for being you

[@wurdofwizdumb1928]

That was amazing!!!!!!! My favourite drum video I’ve seen in a long long time. You are incredible.

[@Enthalpiste]

This one is both chill and smooth but has such a tight drumming at the same time! Great work, very cool song.

[@sagittila]

What a gorgeous song (awesome rhythmic modulations aside)!

[@lakejizzio7777]

Just found this! So killer, very tasty, great production, creative parts. Love the cymbal work and ghost notes.

[@teteskone41]

Just awesome. Makes me recall your video about layered grooves by Virgil Donati. Is it composed in such style?

[@tyrustucker]

So precise but with so much feeling how do you do it 😭

the fact that he has to bring that tiny little snare on tour sometimes

look at that little baby snare!

[@jimifriedman18]

Is the melody that starts at 2:01 a reference to Adam's mvmts? Or is that a funny coincidence?

[@emathews1]

Lyrics include Ecclesiastes 1:7 KJV

[@Nyuu3]

I was just about ask to ask what that clip was saying. Didn't know the word "thither" so I couldn't figure it out. Thanks.

I love Cytherean, but god damn the grammar mistake irks me. Whence = from where From whence = from 'from where' "Unto the place from from where the rivers come" brrrrr~ the 'from' should have been omitted :c

[@J_Echoes]

I think it's directly quoted from Ecclesiastes 1:7 (King James Bible translation), so there's not much to do... It has also been historically used, from Shakespeare to Lord Byron! (see Merriam-Webster article on "from whence")
