I can see from a distance light without rays a dissolving of boundaries waiting for self caught in ascending silence it's simple to know I will toss it to the stream cut into you each point will agree to give way in silent unison the exhausted floorboards of winter will open to us a thousand suns haven't grown these leaves dissolving outward stillness gorges itself here becomes a threshold an oceanic concession dizzy with light under something inside us dissolving this dream each point will agree to give way in silent unison the exhausted floorboards of winter will open to us

Receive's (FKA Anura, Hey Exit) 'New Abrasions' is a project born from the early days of the 2020 quarantine, ripped up and started again twice before arriving in its final form. The result is a rich and expansive album of art rock and heavy music that draws from a whole slew of other subgenres, inspiration coming from everything from trip-hop to harsh noise. 'New Abrasions' is a dynamic album that never pulls the same punch twice, and warrants close and repeated listening.
