Your baseless energy Your grace left in a dream Now you feel immortal And now the time is right You felt the yard ignite Hands around the portal This opportunity When they pull you from the fire You’re feeling nervous You’re faceless in a crowd Dragged across the wire Burning under surface Where you catch a star Dancing where you sink Pulling out of chokeholds Everywhere you are Everyone sees the trick But you left them stone cold Now you can’t escape Another burn and break You’re out the trap door Now you feel the weight And we know the score Sinking through the ground floor Erode - you’re wrong

Describe This Present Moment is Che Arthur's fifth album under his own name. In ten songs the Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist/songwriter/engineer/producer pits the taut, concise punk/indie structures and contemplative acoustic-based textures of his previous albums against heavier moments that call back to Pink Avalanche, the currently "on hiatus" band Arthur helmed from 2010-2020. Moment sees Arthur expand upon his cathartic, darkly melodic post-hardcore work in Pink Avalanche, his previous solo work and as guitarist in regarded early 2000s Chicago quartet Atombombpocketknife.
