Murder in the streets
They heard you calling
The deepest shade of orange
Lifted your face
Welcome the heavens
The night comes as slow as your own perception
There is no race to the end because everything ends
Your move creep
Creep slow, falling low
Slain by the eternal weapon
Sometimes I feel like it’s just us, you and I, me and you
Together as one
Against a giant LED screen projecting your apparition
You will always remain eternal, forever you
Deep within lies the answer to your existence
What would we do if we only knew
Would we destroy ourselves, others
Would we make love with everything and everyone
Could we enjoy every single second
Should we slow down life to a single waking moment
Would we embrace the dark sky above
So massive that nothing escapes
Would we march to our own theme
Stop, don’t think
Cherish your last breath
This is it
Forgotten by history
Your name was never written in the wind
Is that breeze real?
After all, we’re merely projections of the minds eye
A pixelated haze of questions with no answers
An end with no beginning
Are you the creator? The devastating creator?
Murder in the streets

Joy Orbison has once again teamed up with designer Will Bankhead to start new label Hinge Finger. The pair, who worked together on previous imprint Doldrums, have typically not yet released many details of the new project. We do know any forthcoming releases will be distributed via Honest Jon’s, and going by the promo mix recently dropped by Joy Orbison we can presume the label’s focus will be on deep house and garage sounds. Hinge Finger is definitely one to follow closely in 2012.
You can stream and download Joy Orbison‘s promo mix here via The Trilogy Tapes.
