about

The full album is available on VIVARIUM RECORDINGS at: vivariumrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/survival-tactics

13 years in the making, "Survival Tactics" is a concept album that explores the themes of human behaviour, isolation, conflict, and abandonment of planet Earth. Against the backdrop of a world torn apart by ecological collapse, austerity, and the pervasive grip of neo-liberalism, the album is a musical meditation on the potential reality of the years to come.

The album is divided into two sides:
the Earth Side, featuring tracks 1-8, and the Abandoned Earth Side, featuring tracks 9-13.
Each track on the album offers a unique sonic exploration of the emotions and experiences of those who remain on Earth, as well as those who have abandoned it for the escapist concept of distant space travel.
