Away 05:06
Shield those eyes Forming opinions won’t Protect you from what’s outside Conflict rise We won’t be hindered We are triumphant when we romanticize I wanna wash it away, wash it away, I’m over it Watch it shimmer and swell whisper “Oh well” Like ya can’t even tell, ya can’t even tell I wanna see you bury it all

Crowded Room 05:20
Step in, you’ve got something to do But anybody’s brave from across a crowded room Let down your front, you’ve got nothing to prove To them You won’t let this slide, ‘cause you miss the black and blue Your brothers in the field, everything that you went through It was in my sight Crept up from behind Is it really under control? ‘Cause you seem to have let go And have you really made up your mind? ‘Cause I see you looking skyward all the time So yes I’m panting but I really had to tell you what I Just saw It took me up and spun me round and hung me from the roof and Dropped my jaw It was all new, it was all new It was all new and all of this is hitting me at once

Renewal 02:12
Just passing through on the way Evening is fading into day Just passing through Evening is fading into day And these blinking lights Fill the sides of my sight Tattooed, tattooed Breathe easy this evening, Floating and flawed through the fog Tattooed, tattooed Breathe easy this evening

Come over love, this weekend You’ll be over me but not in ‘Cause clarity is rare for me When the reasoning for is the same as against Come over love, we’ll pretend That all the things we love are not sin Don’t wake to me or my bigotry When the reasoning for is the same as against ‘Cause clarity is rare for me When the reasoning for is the same as against Tell all my friends I tore it up

In our time together as Pseudo Shark (2 years this winter- how precious) a few people have asked us if we’re a Christian band. At first we weren’t really sure how to answer the question, and usually our response was “We’re all Christians, but we’re not a Christian band.” With this first release coming out, we wanted to take a minute to clarify how we identify ourselves. The reason we say we’re not a Christian band is that when we think of the term “Christian artist”, we think of praise and worship music, which isn’t a bad thing at all- we just don’t think it accurately describes our band. That being said, there’s no doubt that our faith influences the music we make, and we credit everything we do to God. Our views are reflected in our lyrics, but we also see the value in discussing worldly values, struggles, etc., and music can be a platform for that discussion- but that doesn't necessarily mean it's an endorsement.

Whether your views are similar to ours or totally different, or if you don’t care about any of this and you just think guitars are cool, we hope you can find something to enjoy on this EP. Recording it was a long but fun learning process and we couldn’t have done it without Ryan Oetting's sage advice and people skills, along with him generously letting us use his house and equipment. Kyle Allen was kind enough to mix and master it for us all the way over in California. You should check out his band Keyes, they make some tasty music.
