I don’t know how I got here. This isn’t reality. It’s so close to being real you could go your whole life without noticing it, but once you take a closer look, the seams become visible. The people I know, my friends and family, all seem to be surrogate projections of their former selves. If I talk to them about it, they act like I’m crazy, but I know it’s true. Nothing here makes sense. Part of me recognizes this place, as if I was here once before, in a dream or as a small child, but the longer I’m here the more alien it feels. My life doesn’t even feel like my own anymore. It’s like I know I should be somewhere else, but I don’t know where somewhere else would even be. I am trapped. Living a life as an imposter in this enfolded simulation.
If you are reading this, there are two possible scenarios:
1. I have found a way out and kept this memoir for posterity, or
2. You have strayed and become hopelessly lost, just like me.

this album is by far one of my favorite full-length projects released in the last few years. every track is interesting on its own yet at the same time they all go together as a cohesive body of work. the combination of atmosphere + concept is executed perfectly. really makes you feel like you’re in the setting. i want to pick every song as my favorite, they’re all great ♡ ♡ ♡ teletsuo
From despair and grief to optimism, the subdued electronic compositions on the latest from Opus form a moving narrative. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2023
Third wind: This is such an amazing track. The emotional ride is like being 16 walking into the first outlaw rave I went too!!
Faith: the base lines are so hard and on point I had to dance couldn’t stop!! The rest of the tracks. Are just as lit!! brian cottrill
