You will experience a mesh of time and space in your own mind It will ebb and flow like the things around you But it will stay constant Do not let it stop This is for you To best enjoy, you may require a refreshment Or more time To be interested is to be involved This is for us Live and direct Together, we lend ideas and thoughts (This is for you) And the only thing lost is time So don’t be afraid Let it take you (This is for you) A collection of works presented to us, by us Be aware of your surroundings as you dip into your new space (This is for you) Live and Direct So don’t be afraid Creation never stops And the only thing lost is time Let it take you Do not let it stop This is for you This is for you This is for you This is for us

I've been in the weeds Look at me I say what I want to see You've been in a dream Dream of me See peaks meet soft sky, swollen sea Call it what you want Call for me Silent in my belly When you look around stretch out Just wait, you will get the right taste I want the whole piece and all my cherries I want the whole piece and all my cherries Sour heat, sweat until I add it up Keep it neat, I can fill my own cup Sour heat, sweat until I add it up Keep it neat, I can fill my own cup Sour heat, I can fill my own cup I reached for the arms that knew me From my ship of friends While I learned all the love that holds me Goes out and comes in I want the whole piece and all my cherries I want the whole piece and all my cherries I am the whole piece

I can’t stay focused, I need another quick sec, Take a deep breath, Let me reset, Ideas that I reject, Sit silently till they simmer to the top, Eject, Let me speak it, I don’t want to forget, Got a mindset like a goldfish, Hold this, Moments paid, let me own this, No repeats, can’t clone this, I sleep, I sow, I reap, fruits of my labor imma eat, I’m weak, I know, I need another somethin’ somethin’ to defeat, Scatterbrain, stained at best, Imma put it to the test oh yes, Lay accusations to rest, I won’t let you see the stress, Kept to the chest, I’ve got a runaway thought train, No you’ve got to put the gun away Cobain, It's another sunny day, Free jazz, Coltrane, Put an open flame to the propane, I like what you’ve got, What’s your name, I like your name, What’s the game, I like the game, What’s your name, Oh right, never mind, I’ll notify the brain, Little dumb, it’s all the same, Blissful ignorance, Little numb, novocaine, Wishful innocence, I sleep, I sow, I reap fruits of my labor imma eat, I’m weak, I know, I need another somethin’ somethin’ to defeat, I sleep, I sow, I reap fruits of my labor imma eat, I’m weak, I know, I need another somethin’ somethin’ to defeat, I swear I’ve forgotten that before, Dèjá vu dementia, what’s the score, Rudimentary, elementary, I thought, but I had to stop when I got sore, I’m a prisoner to the brain cells, I can’t escape, can’t escape, can’t escape, I’m a prisoner to the brain cells, I can’t escape, can’t escape, can’t escape, Innocent, in a sense, Innocent, in a sense, Innocent, in a sense, Innocent, in a sense

Leaves they fall before my tears run dry If I talk to god, will she ever reply Used to problem-solve with a drink or getting high If I talk to god, will she hear me out in time Will she save me from my mind I envy birds in the sky And how they fly, away from life One step, focus, light will lead the way You'll get through today Next step, focus, time will ease your pain We gon' be okay We gonna be okay Who do you call when all you do is hide If I talk to god, will she ever reply She might, she might she might She might, she might she might She might I envy birds in the sky And how they fly, away from life One step, focus, light will lead the way You'll get through today Next step, focus, time will ease your pain We gon' be okay We gonna be okay

I’m caught between the tides of ground and surface What’s my purpose? I can’t see the signs that pull me into connection what we envision I can’t dream can’t sleep can’t take the night’s too long I lay awake Do you feel seen? I just want peace, let all these tides wash over me I know I’m caught between the tides In between seas and skies I know there's lows and highs I’m caught between these tides I’m caught between these tides Tell me who you wanna be What it is we wanna be Take the tide and travel free Find it in your story Tell me who you wanna be Tell me who you wanna be I’m caught between the tides In between seas and skies I know there's lows and highs I’m caught between these tides I’m caught between these tides

Lost hearts ignite Like plastic in the light We’re just where we’d like Mere strangers in the night Ain't it fun? When it starts Just waiting on the line here with you Ain't it hard? When it starts Just waiting on the line here with you But we’re off and we’re lost In their hearts tonight But we’re not where we want In their arms tonight Ain’t it hard When it starts Just waiting on the line here with you Play nice, I’m falling off Red stains and I’m long gone We’re not what we thought Mistaken all along Ain't it fun? When it starts Just waiting on the line here with you Ain’t it hard? When it stops Just waiting on the line here with you But we’re off and we’re lost In their hearts tonight But we’re not where we want In their arms tonight Ain't it fun? When it starts Waiting on the line here with you Ain't it hard? When it stops Just waiting on a life here with…

Tryna find my space in the bar Hit the meters in between 'em I was the facing fall Best believe us when we breathing Got 'em pacing then charge Talking dreamers I was seeing Now I live in the stars I'm a genius with a million flaws Put 'em all on to demons When they hitting the floor Had to kick that shit open Ain't no need for the doors Breaking benjamin I settle in And leave when I'm done Ain't no substitute for being the one All that attitude come back at you I've seen when it does Got 'em fiending for the weekend I just wanna have fun Off the top into the deep end I been swimming with sharks Floating floating Floating floating No one ever told me No one ever told me I'm Floating floating Floating floating No one ever told me No one ever told me I'm Mister mister put the name on your list Streams of love letters sent since The moment you dipped Seeing icons that lifelong ambrosia fix See my sight lost The mic strong I'm giving you gifts When the moon present Blessings will make it Started out as hunger Now the method is patience Some plans will fumble But the worlds what I make it While remaining humble I take leave my with this greatness I hear the people in stages Decipher codes over Rhodes As I lean into statements Searching for gold over coal I've been bleeding on paper Letting it go when I roll Turning ashes to vapor Floating floating Floating floating No one ever told me No one ever told me I'm Floating floating Floating floating No one ever told me No one ever told me I'm Lost a lot but I ain't playing the cards Call a spade a spade You won't hear my tracks in the club Swinging keyblades to change pace no living lux See these diamonds are forever and I'm the king of your hearts Now I'm back to the flavor Gave you the sauce from the lost Now you classy and tailored Buttons all done up It's been a lovely engagement Here's your certificate for listening Enjoy the attainment Enjoy the attainment Enjoy the attainment

Simply splitting staccato signals in slomo, Bumping Shlohmo, in 2010 typing flow chrome Tab, when mad, count the jabs dealt to chrollo Unwilling frag, sweep with rag shining gold toe The two bits shave n’ haircut rapper has arrived, Awaiting for the moment prosperity comes to rise, Stream on mute, breathe on two, one and five, The cartographers of the rhyme, Or harbinger of design, comes Duel wielding two kinds of flies In all directions go awry, Or astray, freaky solar buff comes to play See the motion to the sky, camera filter gray Camera filter blue, seeing now in tune Ostracized to a different hue, wow Return to Proud Family watching it on the couch Proud of my whole fam’ going ham for the sound The one i'm multiplying now, pink Simulate the dream for the right path See it on my screen but my sight bad Not one to be mean but I might ask If you could believe in it Free fall to the right target who marked it Mine subconscious hardened confused spark it Collude darkness to fuel bars with few parsnips Astute starvin turns to barkin with few chartin’ But who's stoppin’? Success comes, I'm not blockin’ When one walks into the dream it seems awesome But how then do I achieve what need toppin’ I guess I gotta start a garden Simulate the dream for the right path See it on my screen but my sight bad Not one to be mean but I might ask If you could believe in it Simulate the dream for the right path See it on my screen but my sight bad Not one to be mean but I might ask If you could believe in it Ahh Ohhh Oh Oh Oh Ohhhh Ahhh Ohhhh Oh Oh Oh Ohhhh See it all floating to the top And so I sift it out Collect the pictures now so I can kick around Hangin’ out, living how I choose to Might take some work to make money by Making grooves through type cast Typing screws loose, rap What a brand, what a vision But I see it clear, the possibility to be anything Cast a single tear Transparent dripping, secluded sensitivity Turn to be a poet, astute, vector imagery With words, maybe a whole track with pros facts With drawers using building blocks to go and control that Deep knowledge of them Gonna freeze, kinda bubblin’ perspective I honor that life in a second! Simulate the dream for the right path See it on my screen but my sight bad Not one to be mean but I might ask If you could believe in it

Pink and orange We’ll be alright We’ll make it slowly Things we bring to life Created moments Through days of rain The pain was pontent Overcame and had to regulate I controlled it So a seldom state Wasn’t what was chosen Stomach hurting and hard hitting heartache And butterflies Wondering what am I? It’s dark here Just to summarize But on the other side (I know we’ll rise) Keep faith my brother Just keep going on Keep faith my brother Just keep showing love Keep faith my brother Just keep going Keep faith my brother Just keep going cause… Cause we all we got Cause we all we got Cause we all we got Cause we all we got Through the harder times Keep your head up high And your heart alive Cause we have to strive Even though We haven’t master life We have to try Gonna be the last to die Find courage Determined to curb My appetite Observe it Lure in what will satisfy Peace pacifies Guess we have to fight Till the sky goes black at night (I know we’ll rise) I’ve been trying to find it Meditate and enlightened Goals working on progress Cause I knew the assignment On the tempo just typing Putting in work always grinding Don’t have equal problems When you need me I’m behind ya I done built a fire Strong enough to build empires Focused zen style Laying down textiles Till the next trials That we Best smiling Cause we all we got Keep faith my brother Just keep going on (Cause we all we got) Keep faith my brother Just keep showing love (Cause we all we got) Keep faith my brother Just keep going (Cause we all we got) Keep faith my brother Just keep going cause

You call me unlucky? I'll haunt you like Chucky Better pray she don't fuck me Get in line, don't cut me She's the one to abduct me? Rolled eyes, I'm high Fuck you, you don't realize These eyes despise and epitomize "Everything you said was fine?" Lies Shoot your shot, take the miss Out to dinner, kiss your bitch Go home, slit your wrists I'll smoke you, cannabis You think I'm unlucky? Ha, try again Roll the dice, run the slots Fuck man, this shit's hot Overseas, overdose Flatline, comatose Do it again, another dose Your loss Kill me like brain cells With acid from your hell Hello? I'm here breaking caps Killin' bitches, where you at? Imma take her home, have a play I'll fuck your life up everyday I'll call that a three way So listen to what I say Maybe you're unlucky? Ha ha ha I'll take your crown and bury you 6 feet, too loud And leave you there with no air Till you choke You think you're unlucky? This shit makes me diamonds with millions Spend it all on killin' it So listen up for the last time I promise, you're unlucky Ha yeah, you're unlucky

(It ends tonight Should have seen this coming It’s alright now) We do this again (it ends tonight) You were made for me (should have seen this coming) It’s alright (it’s alright) Now Run away, run away Don't look back (don't look back) Over yesterday (hey hey) It's been a long ride So they say Won't you stay now What a shame for their loss It’s been a while in the wrong state Drove for miles for nothing Run away, run away Don't look back (don't look back) Don't look back over yesterday Hey hey It ends tonight

about

Along your path, you have been led astray. Choose to focus or DREAM THE DAY AWAY.
.
With a sample-based approach to jazz music, H A U N T E R blends samples and live instrumentation as a duo while featuring many different artists.
.
"Dream the Day Away" is the sequence of a daydream turning into a nightmare. Inspired by experimental hip hop, neo-soul, jazz, and rock, this record sits between multiple genres in a lane that is defined by odd grooves and catchy leads. As it pays homage to artists like Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Hiatus Kaiyote, and The Sound Of Animals Fighting, it actively strives to create ambient textures with more pop sensibilities.
.
“DREAM THE DAY AWAY” is far and away the group’s most thoughtful and patient release. With a greater emphasis on tones, textures and featured vocalists steering its through-line, the album achieves what it set out to: To bring you into the ethereal world of a dream." - WBUR
.
"An ear-pleasing first listen and doubly so with repeated listens, this has punch, ambience, and a poppier quality than you’d expect." - The Alternative
.
“After hitting the play button, I was immediately drawn into a world where neo-soul, jazz and r&b perfectly clash together. Stay tuned for more!” - Stereofox
.
“I knew I had found something special with this song the second I heard it. They use unorthodox time signatures to keep the listeners attentive, yet you can still get lost in melodies and harmonies.” - Fashionably Early
.
Thank you for being here.
.
With Love,
Sander and Jonah
