Cereus Bright : Seven Wonders : Aquarium Drunkard
Tyler Anthony's Cereus Bright project has always been personal, but with "Seven Wonders," the opening selection from his latest LP Anything, he sets a course for the cosmic. Inspired by readings of Polish philosopher Zygmunt Bauman, who described modernity as a liquid-like state in which constant change makes it's impossible to maintain a frame of reference, the song utilizes simple phrases that nonetheless carry profound weight: "Everything we know/melts away, there is/nothing left but a/face without a frame."
