about

ODG169: John Americus Witt / Hils

A new album by John Americus is always a thrill and an adventure.
So here we go with his new concept:

'Hils' is Danish. A quick message to send regards to a friend. So is this, in its way. The structural conceit is the gradual increase of dosage of some unspecified thing. The songs are the results of this regiment. Hold tight.

5 ml is the start. There is no control song. We begin at the beginning.
Run is the initial urge to flee. Fight this. You gotta go through, not back or around.
10 ml is the first real threshold. You made it. Congrats. It gets rougher
Cortisol is the pure fear. In your gut. Your body rebels
15 ml is the pocket. This is where you want to be.
An Unexpected Arrival is the natural endpoint. But we are willful creatures, born to chase.
20 ml is the first true misstep. Should have quit while you were ahead, bud.
Articulated Language becomes strained. Racing. Best stay quiet.
25 ml is the internal world. It is huge and unfamiliar. Explore. You will not return.
Viridian/Crimson/Gold is all you see. Colors and shapes. Self begins to recede.
30 ml is the true killswitch. Stop now, and you have a chance.
Georgia is the most remarkable thing about you. She is patient, and kind. She beckons.
50 ml (End) is a choice, impetuous and swift. A mistake. This is the end. Goodbye.

Enjoy!
