1.	Lacanthrope - Little Deaths in the Family 06:55	lyrics
The Inevitable muscle of you. An echo returned home to rest upon my jaw. Yes Father, I shall become a bat. Seeking walls in the dark. Dye my hair to look like him. We all have to learn somehow.
2.	Straight Panic - Vampirism 04:45	lyrics
Spoil the rod to spare the child Torn twixt austerity protocol and proletarian revolt Youth as life Theft as immortality Eromenos bled dry Transmissible hunger Uncle Nephew Father Son Hard candy prys open the jaws Disassociate predator Teeth on neck the History of AIDS Papillon Mariposa Youth as victim Youth as corruptor Youth as seduction Drink of this my blood and you shall live forever
3.	Straight Panic - Lycanthropy 04:20	lyrics
Hair on the palms In the form of Onan's visage Young virgin cast out Left to wander the wilderness Satiating bestial lust IT'S IN THE BLOOD IT'S IN THE SPITTLE IT'S IN THE SWEAT Blow buddies at beer bust in the wolf's den Youth as target acquired 30 pieces of silver Purity undone City park Full moon Bestial forms Howl at the moon
4.	the History of Boys, pt. I 11:15	lyrics
A Marble Maw Fucked and Sated. Without Wax Cherubic marble Masculinity in reverse Rough hewn into sissy solidarity Castrati chorus Teacher fucks the student A lesson in liquidity Every phallic weapon Insecure rage From stunted masculinity Don't think about a cock AR-15 buy one get one free Don't think about a hole Carpet bombing mosul Don't think about a mouth Mommy's new black eye Hate the foreigner But keep your mouth shut Holy matrimony With minor exploitation on the side The history of boys those who are desired abused summarily denied mosquito metamorphosis body and blood
5.	the History of Boys, pt. I 03:58	lyrics
Backwards Crime Youth as originating gender. Balance it out Tell me who survived Bury their memory in me Never marry Spread the disease We couldn't do it without you.

about

Two queer artists tackle the concept of "boy," notions of masculinity, what differentiates sexuality from gender from identity.
Side A features solo tracks from both artists; the B side is purely collaborative, with both artists providing vocals and electronics to the extended "History of Boys" (in two parts).

Dark and brooding, equally erotic and violent.

Released via JOUISSANCE DU RIEN
