I flirt with science she's a volatile mistress she gimme gimme gimme she gives me the business rendezvous vacuum collision with a substrate two lonely particles determined to annihilate Electron meets a positron and they do the dance of annihilation Run for the eyewash splashed with chlorine plasma membrane sticky like a jellybean back to the drawing board change up the method keep a safe distance a kiss on the forehead (repeat chorus)

Something will surely supersede digital If you think about it, it's all quite logical There was a before and there will be an after on and off is too black and white We built a box out of bits and bytes Will you mourn the demise of ones and zeros? Will you lament or regret the loss of ones and zeros? Difficult to conceive exactly what it will be Something subatomic? Streaming continually? Fluid variations in gravity? Quantum oscillations persisting harmonically? (Repeat chorus) Synaptic? Metaphysical? Chemical? Organic? How I long to interface with something more romantic It's hard to feel affection for a switching mechanism Or be inspired to greatness by an atrophied anachronism (Repeat Chorus)

Chartreuse 05:58
They suck you dry emotionally Wring every last drop of humanity from that filthy towel after bathing you in guilt They make appeals for your attention but they always forget to mention the cost you pay back in spades Chartreuse Sea of glowing green Sweet antifreeze wash over my icy personality Sub-zero sensation Nothing approaching empathy Not hate, it's too much energy Is it cold in this room? Or is it just me? Therapy? Epiphany? Scuff away the dead calloused skin from my knees 'cause I tell you, I won't feel it until it gets to the bone Shove antidotes down my throat Easy-to-swallow collagen coating Wake me up when I win the secret prize (repeat chorus)

The Ballad 04:08
When the working day is done I refuse to belong to anyone. And at night when I try to sleep I hear the house of commerce in my dreams... Somehow, someone, somewhere owns everything I do. Somehow, someone, somewhere owns all of me and owns all of you. There's no charge, there's no crime, but we're all doing time. To be honest there's not much I can do but to sing a bad ballad for you. I could suggest sabotage, but success might prove a mirage. 'cause Somehow, someone, somewhere owns everything I do. Somehow, someone, somewhere owns all of me and owns all of you.

holiday I'm on a permanent holiday I spend my money on alcohol I spend my nights on the dance floor with my friends I saw Katrina fall down the stairs too many doses, man, she wasn't aware broken collar bone and now she dances alone in the alleyway intelligence none of them care about intelligence it's all taste and relevance you've got to be hot or you will bore them to death we barely eat we maintain physique with out glittery eyes and our chiseled cheeks when the paparazzi come around we play hide and seek olly olly oxen free the freaks and poets hanging at the cafe wishing they had some of my social cachet I can sling the lingo with the beatniks and the pinkos si vis pacem para bellum I want peace but I'm ready for war I'm steady ready, just taking it in I've got my scotch and I'm ready to binge comeliness and toxicology make for a fair philosophy and everyone needs a philosophy or a Ferrari

I can scribble some words on a pristine page I can place perfect actors on a lighted stage I can strike up a symphony for atmosphere I can reduce all complexity until crystal clear I can break it all down for you There is no way you can see it through my eyes I can break it all down for you There is no way you can think it with my mind I can graph all the formulas and show you the math I can take every whole and split it in half I can focus the lense on a singular view I can isolate an atom in a gallon of glue (Repeat chorus) You can attach a lie detector to every nerve You can analyze the apex of every curve We can meld into one, annihilate the two but the 'new' we have now is not the 'new' that we knew (Repeat chorus)

Much Worse (Outro) (free) 01:39
She has a microchip for a soul ... mechanical, metaphysical, electrons streaming with a plasma sheen, prettiest circuits I've ever seen Glowing silicon Venus de Milo, magnetic intrinsic mystique, oh how I long to interface with her Interdemensional, a quantum alternate reality feeding my ego ones and zeros touch-screen sensuality Oh, don't you know it could be much worse It could be much worse than digital

about

The 4th official release from LowHero.DLL, Worse Than Digital is a cold exploration of uncertain relationships in the digital age as the objects of our affections and intrigue become less tangible.

Loaded with ominous electro bass lines, strong rhythms, and edgy, noisy synths, LowHero.DLL continues to find some gray area between catchy pop song and the proverbial head-thumper. Lyrically, Worse Than Digital uses scientific and technological themes as a metaphorical means of tapping into the more organic and ethereal human condition as can be felt in the enigmatic line, "electron meets a positron and they do the dance of annihilation", which alludes to a volatile and tenuous relationship between man and woman in this fast and frenzied "always on" society.

Worse Than Digital, with over 60 minutes of play, is comprised of 6 original tracks, one cover (The Ballad - originally by Snog), and 5 remixes by some excellent indie-electronica acts: Testube, Type001, Polluted, Digital Dirt Heads, and R010R.
