this was the crown jewel from the self titled album, it was my favorite then and i still dig it. in summer 2012 i went to a residency program at an art institute and couldn't make any music. i imagined a song that sounded like it was swelling and pulsing from ear to ear. winter of that year i finally tried to make it, and built everything off of that one slow attack sine wave. the vocals are sampled from "antichrist" which is still one of my favorite movies. one character is telling the other to imagine herself laying in green grass and melting into the color to overcome her fear of nature. this was the new mission statement for black condom. i wanted to make music i could sink into. it was pure escapism from my depression. i tested my levels by playing the songs in my parents cars and closing my eyes to focus on the vibrations. this was also the second song i made a music video for. it was all blurry close ups of things in my house that i saw every day, mostly the tea kettle.
