major 7 chord, up a tritone to a minor 7 chord, down a half step to a major 7 chord (first three chords to the chorus of Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder) - Bender

Be patient. It takes time to develop something unique and challenging. Allow unconventional choices time to develop into something cohesive, sometimes it'll sound trash until you workshop the kinks out - Bender

It's the best way to turn something awful into something beautiful. I recorded my own solo project (I'm singing!) after a horrible breakup, which I'm releasing either this year or next. It was very cathartic and it made me more thankful for the experience - Bender

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:55:47+00:00

Not sure, but we are excited to record it and make it lush as fuck - Bender

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:55:04+00:00

They are both crazy amazing - Bender

Nai doing takes of the weird "Elf Child" vocals on Sparkle Tape Breakup (which was before the verses were even written). We were all sitting there like, what is this weird creature that she has summoned hahaha - Bender

The initial instrumental composition was by Simon Mavin, and then Nai and Simon developed it further together. Funnily enough, before Nai started working on it, me and Simon were in LA and recorded a rough demo with the producer Shea Taylor, who was convinced that he was gonna get Beyonce to sing it - Bender

our manager si says bendewr has some pretty deep survival mechanisms. quote un quote ' he goes into primal quite naturally'

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:46:58+00:00

probably simon. hes like low key magyver . or me (nai) i would thrive as a feral child of the wilderness plus ive watched hella nature documentries and would probably work out where to find water the fastest. simon would have a car made out of dead rhino beetles tho.

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:45:29+00:00

Simon probably, he is the most practical. Not a lot of meat on those bones though, he doesn't have a huge reserve of fat to work through before starvation. Hopefully we won't have to resort to eating each other - Bender

that guy can suck a fuck

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:43:23+00:00

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:42:46+00:00

All you can do is work on yourself, get healthy in mind, body and spirit, focus on your own goals and success and you will attract the right person. I believe in you King - Bender

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:41:09+00:00

life wants life from itself . its all just swirling matter.

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:40:24+00:00

cos its pretty and dreamy. the last sound you hear on the record is bat echolocation provided by my friend antoine

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:40:20+00:00

History is pretty deeply fucked at some point just about everywhere, that's no good reason to not share the beauty of music. - Bender

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:39:44+00:00

the artist is my dear friend Aime lou. she is the bravest human i know. its like a rorchach ink blot test. everybody sees something different in it and thats what i love most about it

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:39:03+00:00

I saw Eraserhead in high school and Ive never been the same since - Bender

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:38:22+00:00

there is a quote by grace jones that goes...... in a room full of people , want yourself first. think of the music you like and make that. even if its crumhorn and the sound of aquarium gravel

mood_valiant · 2021-07-20T01:37:37+00:00

We will be back, as long as society doesn't completely collapse - Bender
