They scream! My head is so full I can't dream 24 hrs of data, constant, aggressive My head is so full I can't dream Clouded mind, clear vision of decline My head is so full I can't dream 24 hrs of horror to unpick, unpack My head is so full I can't dream They call + call + call + cry... My head is so full I can't dream Pretty digital spikes, pretty digital lies My head is so full I can't dream 24 hrs a day 24 hrs of fear 24 hrs I break They bellow! My head is so full I can't dream Is there any need, is there any truth My head is so full I can't dream Facts are dead, should I believe? My head is so full I can't dream 24 hrs of horror, 24 hrs I grieve My head is so full I can't dream

You got the particles, you got the smile You got the sweats, swagger well defined Your shake is salty, shivers down my spine Your shake is salty, shivers down my spine Why you gotta? I got no weaponry Bugs en masse, no clarity Your shake is passive, shivers down my spine Your shake is salty, shivers down my spine Don't pinch, don't clamp, don't shake Don't pinch, don't clamp, don't shake, especially don't... Tyrannosaurus Shake You gotta warning card, shout it loud You gotta a warning card, shout it loud Ya gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta warning card You gotta a warning card, shout it loud

Ulysses 195 03:44
Governed by fame, crime of mind, public eye, elitists defined Looming vagabonds promise the world, world they can't offer, tarnished + cold Free your neighbours, open up your mind Fight for strange days, fight the might-on-hi Free your neighbours, open up your mind Fight Ulysses 195 Better close your mind, clutch your thoughts, deception tows the line Elected butchers of rights, elected through lies, coded intent, perceived as right Free your neighbours, open up your mind Fight for strange days, fight the might-on-hi Free your neighbours, open up your mind Fight Ulysses 195

Sweet exhaustion on my mind Sinking feeling, weights the time Thoughts pile in, one million punches to my skin Sweet exhaustion on my mind Sweet exhaustion clouds my time Slips away, I claw at life Gotta do something with my time Sweet exhaustion clouds my time

1.9.8.5. 05:03 video
1.9.8.5. is the the date of my gradual death Born into a world, destined to die, no afterlife, no escape Life means nothing if ill-defined Purpose, no matter how small Resolute, understand our place Good intentions thwarted by faith, master's plans, there’s a better place 80 years of inaction, life in a master's hands Take back control Live while you can 1.9.8.5. Don't live to die 1.9.8.5. There’s absolute beauty in the scatter of molecules, across the universe, far + wide If you want to be part of some grand plan Simply look to the sky, look below, look aside Take back control Live while you can

Trashin' 02:30 video
Politics killed the radio song Plagiarised pulp, formula set Build a narrative, sing it loud Hook it in their brain, barbs set Rince, repeat, trashin' time Rince, repeat, trashin' minds Rince, repeat, trashin' hearts Rince, repeat, trashin' time Rince, repeat, trashin' minds Rince, repeat, rince, repeat, repeat Repetition is the key to subversion Submission by tiny little chips Build the narrative, weary fall in line Hook it in their brain, weary fall in line

Claws 02:11
You got me slippin' You gotta get a hold Got me some money You gotta get a hold Got me some fear You gotta get a hold You got me fallin' You gotta get a hold The day is waiting You gotta get a hold That voice is callin' You gotta get a hold Could you be listenin' You gotta get a hold Daylight is shaking You gotta get a hold Claws Believe the lies that make us fall Claws Sh, sh, sh, shaking all the walls Claws

905 muesli, toast, coffee, water 1001 email + focus, focus, focus 1105 life is draining from my body… again 1245 rye, fruit, coffee, water Outrage, metrics, mechanics, death 208 screen time, talking, chatting, feigning enthusiasm 410 nearly done, surely we are nearly done Outrage, metrics, mechanics, death 608 burgers, chips, water, wine 715 the bulbous glitterati arise to make us feel superior 1002 bed is calling, I avoid sleep… again 1201 clock turns, sleep tracks, reset

I once remembered the future in a twilight It told me I had to smile more This didn't impress me, but it did make me think... What else could we remember if we tried? Momentum lies, momentum ill-defined Life often feels static, moving around me, not me moving I get older, not in mind Maybe we are passengers, in a rotting vehicle Maybe just meat that over thinks

Pomp 02:11
Pomp Preening class of hapless souls Pomp Bulbous + vain, minds are drained Pomp New royalty of the click bait state Pomp Help me understand why, they take the bait Pomp Strutter, show us your shimmy Pomp Keep a shuffling, you can't slow now Pomp The wheel keeps spinning, your 15 is nearly done Pomp Fulfilled I hope, this is starting to choke Preening class of hapless souls

Quanta-fied 03:07
Supernovas at heart Burning bright, burning out fast 1 million questions, 1 million asks No response, nothing ever lasts Expand your view, little cog Greater good isn't just for you Grand spark, calling out for you Calling home, better be there soon Quanta-fied my life Our existence isn't based on time Quanta-fied my life Burn bright, burn into the night
13.
Don’t listen to me Listen to the millions who continue to scream Walk straight through the mines You don’t care, got faith on your side Don’t listen to time Why listen if it don’t affect you Corporate dogs attack Attack the lives that we’ll never get back We’ll never get back Rampage-on-hi

about

"The lone fighter is something like the punky-grungey and above all a few years younger version of Bevis Frond, offering fuzzy psychedelic noise rock on 'Ulysses Trash'." OX [8/10]

"It's a wild mix of classic garage rock, psychedelic elements (Hawkwind says hello), typical punk riffs of the late 1970s, noise rock à la Sonic Youth or Fugazi, repetitive, shamanic recitations. 34 captivating minutes over thirteen songs from one cast." Amplified [8/10]

“'Ulysses Trash' is brilliantly conceived, shockingly under-produced and a worthy testimony to one man’s trip. Over in the blink of an eye in a gloriously extended WTF moment of unbridled chaos “Ulysses Trash” is a triumph and will comprehensively add more aural colours to your sonic palette." All Music [9/10]

"The guitars romp and saw all over the place like a swordfish spearing its prey with a Kyuss on acid feel to it." whisperinandhollerin.com [8/10]

"I would say if Hawkwind wrote two-three minute punk songs, they would sound just like this and that’s a hell of a compliment!" Über Rock

“A melting pot of thirteen tracks that take you on a musical roller coaster ride quite unlike any other.” RPM Online

"Ulysses Trash, is above all else, a fun album, and nobody sounds like they are having as much fun as Dez Dare himself." Distorted Sound [7/10]

"It shakes, it scratches, it excites and it irritates, it is even sometimes a little disturbing, to say the least, destabilising, but it is exciting!" Voix de Garage Grenoble

"How would DEVO sound if they started their career in 2022? The answer lies on the latest, stunning synth-punk dynamite by Dez Dare!" Last Day Deaf

"This stunning album is a 34-minute hell yes to change, progress, and life." MangoWave

"Pulsating with a Stooges and Mudhoney blessed garage grit" The Punk Site

"An album of unparalleled rock mood, which does not lower the flag even for a second." Disk Oryxeion

"He is waking up the neighbours with monolithic riffs, and fighting off his demons with his guitar and singing his heart out" Here Comes The Flood

"Ulysses Trash is a dirty mean sleazy garage punk rock affair that sounds like a real CBGB kinda record, so it's something for the fans of the underground sound." Strutter'zine [8/10]
