I am not defined by the bias in your mind
the acid in your soil that you're now tasting in the rind
the freedoms you abuse & all the views that make you blind
yeah that's not me
I'm undefined
I am not defined by the highest mountain I have climbed
the lowest low I've dared to go
in the oceans buried deep inside
there are no chapters in this book
no catchy hooks to underline
no you'll have to dig
& it's hard to find
like the ancient art of dressing depression up in honey
yeah I'm just trying to get my claws on that money
I've nothing left to say, I yield my time
so just talk yourself in circles
draw your boxes on that damn dividing line
I am not defined by this unfortunate design
the vessel I imagine ain't the one i occupy
but this one's a work in progress
& then the zeroes multiply
yeah you could say
it's undefined
like the ancient art of dressing depression up in honey
yeah I'm just trying to get my claws on that money
I've nothing left to say, I yield my time
so just draw your line & you will find
that nothing simply won't divide
uncertain but we're certainly alive
& undefined

about
Undefined is the single from "Garage Folk"- the one-man band EP that I recorded in Nashville.
The raw one-man band EP titled "Garage Folk" was recorded live to 2" tape at Battletapes in Nashville, Tennessee last October. "I booked one 10-hour session & setup as if I were playing a show. The idea was to get raw live takes of the one-man garage set that I've been honing for years" says Aaron/Skribe. Jeremy Ferguson at Battletapes has worked with Cage The Elephant, Joshua Hedley, & Pujol to name a few. To keep the Nashville energy going, Skribe had the EP mastered by the great John Baldwin (who has worked with Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes, Ricky Skaggs, Adrian Belew, Motley Crue, and hundreds of others). It's only fitting that an album recorded to tape at a studio called Battletapes would be released as a cassette tape!
The limited run of 300 translucent yellow tapes features an exclusive track that won't be included on the streaming release. The full album is only available for tape holders at this point. Stay tuned for the streaming release.
