Scott Very lovingly crafted into a listen that's not ~quite as spoopy as the album art suggests, but that's by no means a bad thing for me. Favorite track: The Black Broadcast.

©ough©ool It's Alpha Chrome Yayo son!
This album is insane. You are composing masterpieces. The insane, schizophrenic synth on Dead Air is so utterly delicious 😋

Alpha Chrome Yayo would never be guilty of the unpardonable sin of dead air Favorite track: Bloodthirsty Little Imp.

hipsterpap Love this album, ACY is on point as always but THIS is the one you introduce people too. Fantastic ACY melodies and fun bits of humor, with a real kickass industrial vibe that permeates so much of this, yet some introspective horror tinged slower tracks as well. ACY, knocking it out of the park as always. Favorite track: Coffin Full of Cables.

Dead Air 03:24
You’re listening to Watermark FM Radio News In the headlines tonight Oregon scientists have been perplexed By a mysterious radio signal stumbled on By two forest hikers It was the weirdest shit Our walkie talkies just started freaking out At first it sounded like Random noise And then the screaming started At first it seemed like another hiker in trouble But the noises got stranger I wasn’t very clever in school But I swear Those screams were in Latin We both started to get blinding migraines I threw up, nearly passed out Eventually we removed the batteries But the screams kept going Professor Pinder from MIT, surely there has to be A rational explanation? We have been studying this radio for three days now And still it functions without batteries But how can that be? I do not know But the CIA says there is no concern Even though many of my colleagues have become Quite seriously sick Have you had any side effects? Well, we get stronger with every day Stronger like how? Give me your neck and I’ll show you Wait, that hurts! How does it feel to die, live on the radio? Please! Stop! You’re choking me (Kill him, kill him) What did I do wrong? Your crime? Dead Air It’s too late to stop us now The signal has been broadcast live They’re coming into your home (We’re coming) Do not dare Touch that dial Stay tuned

Dissolver 04:02
Sit with me In the TV screen While the world revolves Cathode ray Slow decay We can dissolve A million different stations For us to explore TV tuned to white noise A puddle on the floor Dissolver Dissolver Come and melt my face Dissolver Dissolver Not a drop will go to waste Slide into the VCR A sentient pink river Dripping round the tape heads The cassette will start to shiver Flowing through the cables To the satellite dish Broadcast internationally My liquid final wish How long will it take Till my body is a lake I don’t even understand what’s happening I will be right here Until I disappear The world before me slowly, surely Blackening Dissolver Dissolver Come and melt my face Dissolver Dissolver Not a drop will go to waste Dissolver (Dissolver) Dissolver (Dissolver) Come and melt my face Dissolver (Dissolver) Dissolver (Dissolver) Not a drop will go to waste

What can it even mean To be human anymore At this stage? A vile symbiosis of CRT And whatever is me And pure rage You know I think we’re in agreement That I’m partly VHS But mostly demon Glued to the TV and can’t stop screaming Bloodthirsty Little Imp Do you hear the radio signal An invitation to the metaphysical Carve a pentagram Into my PS1 Midnight movies And damnation This is real horror and real life bleeding Which is good ‘cos I am needing To suck it down So please don’t skimp Bloodthirsty Little Imp Feed me blood Feed me blood Feed me blood Feed me blood Feed me blood Feed me blood Feed me blood Feed me Hot Wet Blood BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD Choke it down

Radio Smack 02:11
Turn on the radio Nowhere else to go Reach for the transistor Listen to the static whisper I am a signal receiver I’ll make you a true believer Volume up Don’t look back Hit me with that Radio smack

I felt a Funeral in my brain, And mourners to and fro Kept treading - treading - till it seemed That sense was breaking through And when they all were seated, A service, like a drum Kept beating - beating - till I thought My mind was going numb And then I heard them lift a box And creak across my soul With those same boots of lead, again, Then space began to toll As all the heavens were a bell, And being, but an ear, And I, and silence, Some strange race Wrecked, solitary, here And then a plank in reason, broke, And I dropped down, and down And hit a world, at every plunge, And finished knowing, then...

Bunker 47 01:23
Hey Tim, are you there? Tim, pick up your radio, we got a situation here... Oh hey, sorry Diane, I was in the can… that goddamn canteen meatloaf… Tim, we got a situation. It’s Bunker 47. Oh God! What happened? Did it get out? We don’t know. Maybe. The electricity went off down here and we can’t see for shit. Diane are you getting me? Your radio sounds weird. Don't take any risks, okay? Tim I need you to listen to me very carefully. You need to complete the ritual. Oh shit, where are the candles? I don’t know if I can get to the blood in time. Diane I need the blood. I need the candles. [UNINTELLIGBLE] What did you say? I said light the candle and stick it in your fuckin' eye Tim [UNINTELLIGABLE SCREAMS]

The TV’s on but nobody’s home I’ve got a body and it’s not my own The glass is shattered The speakers are blown Video tape Blood and bone Black ribbon where my brain should be Stick a pencil in my ear And rewind me Just cogs and curses Mechanical magician This is the last transmission This is the last transmission In an advanced state Of decomposition Open up the front door screaming As my head rolls off Decapitated demon Guts and tape Spilling out steaming On the sidewalk What is the meaning Of this disgusting display, A gruesome exhibition Of possession Obsession Man and machining A real life apocalyptic vision This is the last transmission This is the last transmission In an advanced state Of decomposition This is the last transmission In an advanced state Of decomposition I don’t know where my body has gone I don’t know if I was wrong I don’t know where my body has gone I don’t know if I was wrong I don’t know where my body has gone I don’t know if I was wrong I don’t know where my body has gone I don’t know if I was wrong

How does it feel To flow with electricity How does it feel To ride from here to infinity How does it feel To see the future and the past How does it feel To hear the Black Broadcast

about

Brain-boiling radio waves, cathode ray nightmares and low poly panic abounds in this transmission of terror from hypnagogic horror Alpha Chrome Yayo.

From static-strewn slush to industrial mayhem, by way of devil romance and blackened blues, this is one unmissable broadcast.

Tune in and drop out... forever. It's Dead Air.
