Hi friends and family! Jeremy is here to make some statements and ask some questions! It’s all in the name of giving you an update on us: The Time Framed (@_@!!)

Let’s start with the statements; it’s been over a year since we released our Chrono Dementia EP.

Even before we got those songs recorded, there were some demos and other recordings that we didn’t do anything with. It’s potentially possible to find some of that stuff hiding in different corners of the internet, but as of right now, there is at least another EP’s worth of tunes that don’t exist anymore!

Sometimes letting go is a good thing, however at the end of last year, I was inspired to dredge up those older songs and ideas. It wasn’t completely out of a positive space; I was trying to get an outside perspective on myself. With us parting ways from Brandon and me being so emotionally volatile I was feeling like the root of a problematic pattern that never properly resolved. In the end I did come to appreciate myself and get out of the funk I was in. So that counts as a win in my book.

Under all those old ideas I found some themes that we seem to chase whether on purpose or not. Our subject matter is centered around being self aware, especially in regards to one’s own mortality. Sometimes this is displaced behind the perspective of a character that is already dead. Other times it is the awareness of a mental state that is less than favorable but must be experienced in its wholeness before it too may pass.

Despite those subtle conceptual undertones, our most notable musical trait is the element of surprise and inconsistency! Kind of makes it hard for us to even understand ourselves at times…

For the readers that don’t know: our live performance is a high energy acid trip through several sub-genres of rock music that ends with a painful, yet powerful bang. We end each show at the altar of vengeance; raging.

The wide variety in our sound led me to seek a means by which we can illuminate some sort of sonic aesthetic to tie things closer together. This is actually what we’ve been leaning towards all along; enjoyably morbid and ghastly yet not completely cliche or predictable rock music.

If the songs we’ve lost and forgotten could be considered dead, then what would reanimating them be like? A healer might think of a pure bodily revival that hides some sort of spiritual transcendence, but how could a mad scientist or a necromancer envision it differently? What if it’s a time traveler attempting a resurrection?

Tracks that once were and others that never would have been are set to become Altered Memories; our first album and by chance (aka fate) a conceptual piece of art. May these songs reach you and move you when the time is right. Thank you for reading!
