“But the man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less cocksure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable Mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend.” ― Aldous Huxley
The consequences of tampering with the
fabric of reality are, and always have been, direct and brutal.
An unrelenting quake of disruption amongst
what we think, perceive, and accordingly act upon is an inevitable
result, and thus leaves disaster in ways hard to conceive, much less
prepare against. When these quakes initially began, the only logical
cause was that Perhaps was again at the helm; and though disruptive
experimentation has always been a common practice of the band, it has
become increasingly obvious things may have again gotten out of hand.
This came as no surprise to fans however,
who’s cult-like obsession with the band and their practices reached
a chaotic peak earlier last year after members of the bands’
presence was reported in a small Eastern European compound, bordering
Moldova. Flocks of adoring fans flooded the streets in search of any
sign of Perhaps, many of whom belonged to dangerous gangs and shamanic
cults, terrifying locals and causing thousands in damage. But this was
only the tip of the iceberg for what was to come.
Suspicions of a new album were presented
through outside sources by means of cryptic letters, and later
confirmed by reports of large quantities of beached whales and
colossal squid washing up on various shores on the east coast, as well
as a mass disruption in the migratory pattern of elk nationwide.
Following an interview with a local shaman, it appeared that Perhaps
had stationed themselves somewhere in the great red canyons of Utah,
apparently in attempt to create some sort of audio re-creation of
cellular respiration.
The bands success in doing so is hardly
put to question, as all members, have been front runners in the
experimental recreation of natural principles through musical methods,
and rarely come out empty handed. Because of “Hexagon” being
crafted through similar unorthodox principles, leading scholars and
music experts in various colleges lucky enough to have received
samples have hypothesized “Hexagon” to be within some sort of
shared linear relationship with the bands previous album “V”.It
has been confirmed core members and frequent contributors have
returned with the making of Hexagon: (Jim Haney, Sean McDermott, David
Khoshtinat, Ricky Petraglia, Ben Talmi, Tom Weeks). As well as
appearances from long-time collaborators Makoto Kawabata and Tabata
Mitsuru of the Japanese psychedelic-juggernaut group Acid Mothers
Temple.
The answer to the question of whether the
album had been completed came to fruition a half a year after the
previously mentioned incidences and left no doubt about its truth.
Following many more cryptic letters sent to our office and eerie
reports, several hikers in the Utah area reported mind-shattering
hallucinations, as well as locals witnessing a massive blood red moon
taking place the same evening. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind
that “Hexagon” was complete, and in preparation for its release,
many who were religious were granted time to seek refuge in their
respective places of worship.
For the listener, no pass is needed. And
while what lies ahead may seem gargantuan, it is best to open one’s
mind and allow all that is necessary happen. Great spiritual wisdom is
not attained without a daunting climb, and all “Hexagon” has to
offer makes that climb worth the peril. Go in head first and do not
fall, or face the current.
