One early spring day between thirty and sixty years ago diamond mouth surprise who was still very young lay on a raft in the swollen and still-icy waters of a large river. There was water all around diamond mouth surprise. Great swirling circles of it and peaking crests. Diamond mouth surprise saw how motion upon the water felt both languid and perilously swift. Since that spring day diamond mouth surprise has striven to live its life and carry out its business with the same swift slow danger and slow swift peace. But you have known this all your life. After all you are diamond mouth surprise. Join yourself on April 2nd as you welcome spring back to this cold place with slow swiftness you diamond fanged monk.

BLOOD REVENGE is Ben Felton’s love affair with guitar-generated drones and melodies. Through a heavily effected haze, emerge songs that could be the soundtrack to your underwater field trip into the abyss.
