lyrics

There's a crack in the pillar. Smoke in your house. There's a scab on the finger that scratches your mouth...and it's plastered on your face. Like a witness with nothing to say, and still....everyday you do it wrong. Still that same, sad song. Let it play, like an idiot's theme. The sick and subtle soundtrack to defeat.
One morning you're gonna wake up surrounded by all of your valuable shit, and a warm and strange sense of panic will find a home in your chest. Yeah, you're gonna be sure. You're gonna wonder... how? If it was always laid out this simple, why you, you couldn't figure it out. That thought will stick like a thorn in the side of your head. That song, that you've always followed, will echo until your last breath.

From Syracuse, NY, Engineer play an intelligent and extremely loud blend of sludgy-hardcore and noisey, experimental rock that call influences from the likes of Knut, Breach, Anodyne and the Amphetamine-Reptile back catalogue while maintaining a sound that is distinct, original and very much their own. ... more

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

With all respect due to Nick DiSalvo, who is incredibly talented, the proggy vocals are not what I love the most with Elder. What I love the most, I'll admit, is the incredible synthy, krauty goodness, from the track Sonntag on the previous album to the wonderful delving LP Hirschbrunnen. These instrumental Sessions were a major step in that direction, I think, and I love them dearly for it. Coraxio
