It stretches out in front of me Can't see the end Could it be infinity No break and no bend But up come these walls Can't feel past this door And you're trying It keeps turning We're changing our focus Not scratching the surface Creating an apex And I just hope this is real Are you paying attention?

Touch The Dark 04:48
lyrics
buy track
Reality is often wrong It's frequently inaccurate When faced with an inverse notion Sometimes it's hard to shake A shadow creeping into view This mono-culture is built on just the excess But we are not all the same Walk gently in a line, don't falter When the more that you keep moving Then the thought just shifts and catches up You can't see it but you know that it's there, somewhere When expectation outweighs, the actual ability to separate From the monster on your back And all I know Is I don't want to be afraid anymore Walk gently in a line, don't falter When you're fighting just to stay above it And seeing noise but no centre Then the sunlight Touch The dark

It knows, it knows, it knows, it knows Never waking up It grows, it grows, it grows, it grows And I don't know why Lost in a vacuum No way to touch the sides And I'm not right in the morning Even when close to the light And all I ever was Breaking Down

about

Focus is the second full length album release from multi-instrumentalist producer Dan Teng under the Kolider moniker. After the success of his self-titled debut effort last year, which saw the single "Outlier" featured on Bandcamp Weekly, Kolider has put together his most experimental and personal work to date.

From the epic hi-fi glitches of opener "Turn," to the breakneck sounds of "Two Paths," and closing with the expansive "Celestial," Focus is suffused with moments of beautiful melody throughout.

The scope of this album is vast, fusing electronica, drum and bass, future beats, rock, ambient and downtempo styles with a distinctive human feel.
This organic element is supported through the use of live drums, guitar and bass on a number of the songs. It also marks the first time the producer has featured his own vocals, allowing him to channel his vulnerability, and process emotions both positive and negative.

Handling all of the writing, producing, mixing and mastering duties, Kolider has created an immersive sonic landscape, giving the listener an insight into his ever evolving musical mind.
