lyrics

all are tiny pivots
in our flesh
we get a sense
feel them shift
movements limit
the paths ahead
illuminate
flick the switch

elliptical
orbiting

troubles stacked
you're serious
though it's not
always as it seems
small events
driving us
get obscured
by larger things

elliptical
orbiting
confounded us
for many years

I'm charting stars
at night I wait
the clouds to part
changes made
elliptical
orbiting
confounded us
for many years

a piercing, high
pinhole light
I know it's there
it will be there
yet other more
dimly lit
satellites
accelerate

STILL HOURS
by WANING

supported by 4 fans who also own “An Orbit Decayed”

Combines a lot of influences/styles/subgenres but in a way that totally makes sense in an unexpected way. The more folky/quiet parts have a lot of tension and direction which I think is a rare skill! Giles

Old Witch // Keeper Split
by Keeper

supported by 4 fans who also own “An Orbit Decayed”

Keeper is my burning witch substitute but Old Witch steals the show here. "Broken soil..." is a doom band playing a catchy "fast" song with ghoulish vocals which is a) fun b) amusingly irritating to other people entering the office. "Gallows" gives me goosebumps. tr_🇺🇦

Nel Nome Del Codice
by KEYGEN CHURCH

The eerie grandeur of horror film pipe organ music gets an industrial lift on the latest killer from Keygen Church. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2024

Excellent sludge. Not a lot of room to breathe, if any. Recommended! Nekobibu
