Night Theater 04:34
lyrics
Fade in, set the scene Stuck in a familiar place The world spins but the walls all stay the same Empty and bare But the world spins the same Self unaware But the world spins the same Never been Lost in my own head far away from you Struggling to know when, the routine resumes I’m still waking up to all these shadows by my bed Slipping into consciousness Pulling against the stillness in my limbs Trapped in the space between my thought and movement I see you there sound asleep next to me But there is no sound no matter how loud I scream Lost in my own head far away from you Struggling to know when, the routine resumes I’m still waking up to all these shadows by my bed

Motion Sickness 04:19
lyrics
Slowly picking up speed Blurs all the surroundings Keep yourself in motion So there’s no time to think (about anything) Running on empty, with faith quickly burning And a pain in our neck keeps us from looking back I thought that we’d be safe tucked in memories It’s hard to be another half when I have nothing left to give. Is that enough? Is that enough for you? We throw ourselves into the wind Forgot the steps that led to this Tracing lines on our faces They’re longer everyday Running on empty, faith quickly burning And a pain in our neck keeps us from looking back I thought that we’d be safe tucked in memories It’s hard to be another half when I have nothing left to give. So I’ll keep on moving Keep moving on, just keep moving From everything and nothing at once From everything and nothing at all

Leash 02:38
lyrics
It comes in waves Swells to the surface like a hurricane I’m choking on your name and What could’ve been I think of all the words I didn’t speak wonder if they’d help you stay For a little bit longer Why don’t you Stay for a while Stretch my veins out for miles I’m leaving parts to lead me back home Won’t you stay for a while And sink with me (slowly drifting down) String me back together Just to leave me hanging on I’d rather fall apart

All The Things We Carry 04:28
lyrics
Chip on my shoulder on a one way to the bottom Swore that we were golden As our youth flees and we weather From all the things we carry with us You changed your name It doesn’t quite ring like it used to Reflection stained From all of the things we carry Call it what it is Giving up or growing old So this is how it is Chewing our way out of soil From all of the things we carry - interlude - Call it what it is Giving up or growing old The ringing in our ears Is only getting worse

In Passing 04:37
lyrics
Do you feel out of place Hallucinating different days My stomach sinks with a feeling of things that haven’t happened yet Hazy goodbye, years fill the air Life up in smoke, a longing stare I tattooed your joy on my skin A constant reminder that I will always carry you with me Caught up in impermanence I’m staring at nothing Like the wallpaper that tears and folds To reveal lives that lived before So where are you now? How’s the weather up there? Are you surrounded by clouds, is it void all around? Are the streets paved with gold or is it more of the same? Are you always in flight, do you remember your name? Are you really looking down, do you smile at me? Always wondered what’d I’d say if we got the chance to speak. I’d probably ask you to stay, play just one last hand. Well wherever you are, I just wanted to say that… Everything is alright But that doesn’t mean that I don’t miss you here by my side Everything everything everything But I still miss you by my side

about

Grief blesses us with the responsibility of double living. As we move forward and others do not, it is our mission to live for both of us, and in doing so, keep their spirit alive long after their physical form has left this planet. For the members of dweller. — Vocalist/Lyricist Juan Aguilar, Guitarist Kevin Ultsh, Drummer Greg Rocco, and Bassist Steven Murillo — that duty comes in the form of music.

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, dweller. began as an idea between like-minded friends with varying musical backgrounds. The songs came together quickly, turning from riffs to jams almost overnight. Despite the struggle to find the right vocalist, Dweller set out to record their debut EP starting with instrumental sessions at Vudu Studios with Producer Billy Mannino, but then tragedy struck.

“In 2019, our bassist Bryan passed away,” Kevin explains. “We took a step away from the band because the material felt different. We found Juan in March 2021. Not long after, I told him our story and he shared his, and through those conversations came these songs.”
All The Things We Carry, dweller.’s captivating debut EP, channels their collective pain and grief from recent years into a cathartic listening experience. The band leans into their emotions with a mix of sonic influences ranging from modern alternative to 90s grunge. It’s heavy music for people dealing with heavy emotions, yet ambient enough to comfort those in need of solace. If you ask them, it’s what needed to happen.

“Bryan recorded his parts before he passed,” Kevin explains. “A big part of getting this record done was about closure and honoring our friend. After we met Juan and we began to work together, this material took on new meaning. He had no connection to us before joining the band and never met Bryan, but we found common ground through our shared experiences.”

Juan agrees. “Everything the band sent me was exactly the kind of music I was hoping to make. The story they told me was powerful, and it’s represented in the songs, but it’s also not necessarily my story to tell. I have my own experiences with death and grief, so I tried to honor and connect our stories through those shared feelings.”

To finish the record’s vocals, the band once again worked with Mannino, only this time at Two Worlds recording studio. The resulting product is a deeply emotive work of tribute and respect created with honest intention. Over the course of five tracks, dweller. looks into the abyss that follows any great loss and refuses to become one with the darkness. For all the sadness and loneliness that permeates throughout the material, the band never lost hope. If anything, they cling to it.

With the first chapter of their story finally ready to be told, dweller. is already looking ahead as they gear up to release their music videos and for live performances to kick off 2023.
