Oh yeah, it's always time to reshare this amazing mix for the holidays. If you haven't heard this, absolutely treat yourself. @liledit.bsky.social took a look back at what it is and how it happened the other year.

When we said our last show was in November, we were made liars by being asked to be on this one. 12/20 at Turn in PDX w/ Art Leasing and the Flower Vato from Sacramento and The Blurries from PDX. This may be the last time we play Turn so come out if ya can!

Enjoy our mega-chill song "Fretless" and its extremely striking visual made from found slides projected onto stuff.
You will find this track among the literal hours of music you will get in exchange for a measly $8.05 (which we then give to charity)

a beautifully weird mckenna-ish mystery: chinese mushrooms that reliably bring the little people, but don't seem to contain any psychoactive elements (& yet obviously do)
UT researcher studying odd non-psilocybin mushroom: "According to records at Yunnan Hospital, 96% of patients affected by this mushroom report seeing an abundance of 'little people' or 'elves,' often dancing, jumping, or marching around their real-world environment."

Fantastic album that you (yes you) should check out and then buy!
I know there was a ludicrous amount of brilliant music released this year, but I really think Ewwwphoria is up there with some of the best. Do please check it out if you haven't, and tell a friend if you have.
Death Spa’s Ewwwphoria is available for pre-order, and you can hear the first single, "Drill the Corpse Lobe," now! I wish this moment were not as ripe for this music--10 tracks of trans rage, horror, and dystopia--as it is, but it is and we are so proud of it.
