  • Streaming + Download

    Includes high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app.

    Every fortnight members of my Bandcamp fan club get a new single and cartoon. Usually, it's exclusive and may eventually be released to the public. With the events in Washington DC this week I felt this should be available to anyone who wants it. I put it all together while watching the Capitol building be stormed by a mob. It's quite rough, but it's now. Please join my Fan Club now on Bandcamp to help keep my music and art flowing and to get all the cool goodies and be part of the scene. - Cheers, Lach x

A Quarter To Hate It’s the same in every head Landscapes like shots of Mars Headaches like a grainy war movie And they say Mexico is closer than Frisco The heathen’s are at the gate And it’s a quarter to hate And I am on the fire escape It’s a constant hurt No baby born into this time Will live a life without it And I wish I could press a button That would make it all go away But it’s a quarter to hate And I believe it’s getting late The birds are going crazy They’re flying through the windows And the dog’s are beginning to howl And Jesus is pulling them in at the church And they got nothing left but faith It’s a quarter to hate And they have all swallowed the bait The sirens are blaring My veins are going to burst I’m so excited I don’t know what to do first The survivalists are putting on their masks In the park there is a parade It’s a quarter to hate And everyone is going mad The prophets are owners Of a smug, “I told you so.” And the TV news ratings are going through the roof The presidents car is bullet proof He had every reason to anticipate At a quarter to hate He was resigned to his fate There’s an invisible anarchy Pulsing beneath the highway Trying not to think of death Is getting harder and harder When it’s a little too late When it’s a quarter to hate And I am on the fire escape
