The Horizon 01:29
2.
After tonight, I may not wake again. Leave me and I will never stay. Stay with me and I will never leave. With a face like God, I submit my soul for you to take. Bless our beating hearts — with bleeding veins forever entwined. In the night, I dream of you. In the morning, my dreams come true. With a face like God, I submit my soul for you to take. Years have come and gone — as time runs away, Through the dawn we remain. In the night, I dream of you. In the morning, my dreams come true. In my dreams, the night becomes me and you. In my dreams, the light was always you. I dream. I dream of you.
3.
You found me wandering the dark with black holes for eyes. I nearly lost my way from the other side. Come back. Come back to me. Come back to the light. I left death behind. Now I ask, “am I alive?” Promise we are real — swear heaven is here. Come back. Come back to me. Come back to the light. The light.

Paradise 03:09
Once this dust returns to the stars, I hope we will reunite. Somewhere in the blossom field, Where angels ring their bell. For you, I will wait for your call. Say where, and I am there. And I would fall to you from above, When I hear your bell. For you, I will wait for your call. Say where, and I am there. Say where, and I am there. For another day of joy; For another year of bliss; For another lifetime of paradise. Say where.
5.
Continuum 02:33
Two bullets collide. White streaks across a clear blue sky. Love finds us in the strangest places. Our world weeps in one language. A newfound state of grace. Anything could happen now. Let it all come down. The future was born into a home that burns. A cicada sings as flames singe its wings. A newfound state of grace. Anything could happen now. Let it all come down.
6.
My shadow upon a dying sun. I count the holes in the sky Until the cold moon returns. In the nothing waits infinity. Memories are all we have, Until they fade like any other day. The floor has fallen out beneath us. Around me, the faces I know dissolve and disappear. I count the holes in the sky Until the cold moon returns. In the nothing waits infinity. When I touch the hands of time, I will bend and break all of their fingers One by one. Ashes rain down. And now the sky is a hole. And the cold moon is here. In the nothing, I found everything. When I touch the hands of time, I will bend and break all of their fingers One by one.

about

Casey Sylvan finds 'Bliss' by exorcising apocalypse dreams and chanting romantic devotions. Art pop immolates into a blaze of beautiful choruses, seeking love and joy without end. The song 'A Face Like God' drives a dark car toward a vortex of noise as the line, "I dream of you.", haunts through the journey. Quietly drifting through space, 'Continuum' explores sonic unknowns and considers the tragic state of our reality, "The future was born into a home that burns/A cicada sings as flames singe its wings." This dark yet hopeful release wanders through midnight cities, crossing paths with David Bowie, Yukio Mishima, Scott Walker, and whoever else may be listening.

After evenings alone with the music, Sylvan entered Artifact Audio with Sasha Stroud (L.O.T.I.O.N., Phantasia) on March 7th, 2022. Together, they recorded songs over a few days with Mike Ralston offering his drum expertise. The songs were then mastered by Mikey Young (Ty Segall, Alan Vega), the artwork was photographed by Alex Mctigue, and design was contributed by Andrew Peden (Glitterer). In the wake of this collaborative execution, here is what we now know as 'Bliss'.
