The Behaviour’s PEDESTALS is a study in weight and glow—fuzz-drenched guitars, spectral harmonies, and analog warmth shaped into songs that move like late-night weather. Led by multi-instrumentalist and producer Marshall Kilpatric, the EP centers on “Dark, Not Quiet,” a slow-burn release where reverb-soaked tension gives way to a clear, melodic reckoning.Kilpatric, known for work with The Esoteric and credits entwined with Today Is the Day and Black Light Burns, takes full creative command here—drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, vocals—with the performances tracked at Quaternal Studios in Massachusetts. The mixes by Paul Malinowski (with Eric Graves on “MK Ultra”) and mastering by Mike Nolte lend depth and heft without sanding off the edges; the noise breathes, the room stays in the frame.
Lyrics
In the realm of shade, where shadows fall
Are the ghosts left in hollow envelopes
Becoming of the name, the term is coined
The truth’s like thunder, you cannot silence her
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Here are the keys
In all forms
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) The things you see
Are closer than they appear
In the great ornate, spirits on dead roads
Crafting colors in such sweet graceful tones
To illuminate, eliminate the spark
But just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Here are the keys
In all forms
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) The things you see
Are closer than they appear…
Ah, ah, ah, ah…
The things you see
Are closer than they appear
In this dream machine
Illusion never fails
Could it be
That the ship has sailed?
