In promotion of the comprehensively ongoing 90s theme set to accompany our forthcoming double-record, Eternity of Dimming, Dave and Zach got excited about paying homage to their favorite escapist bedroom universe from that decade—that of The Legend of Zelda. With a little help from Geekologie, this video is picking up speed and has started to go a bit viral—reaching that odd outer audience of cursory incongruence and misinterpretation (but interpretation nonetheless!)

For those of you who actually inhabit the kingdom of what is our own escapist bedroom universe of understanding and sweet convolution and deepening context—this is for you & we hope you enjoy!

frontier ruckus / junk-drawer sorrow / eternity of dimming / encore at michigan state

and nothing very solid
ever thaws away the squalid
junk-drawers that us whorish people know

and while the junk collects interminably
other things will certainly
thaw away so swollen with the snow
