  • 'Casualite' was written mostly in the Early Parts of 2005, spanning a time during which the band felt personally an encroaching resignation about politics and their own interests in fighting a domestic ideological battle. These songs form a sort of vague propaganda, and speak the vernacular of failure, confusion, and the lack of personal locomotion.

    There is a cloud that surrounds these Early Days of The New Millennium, and it is impossible to see beyond the cloud to what history will record as our collective destiny. 'Casualite' is an expression of this idea. Are we tyrants? Misunderstood sub-royalty? Lazy to a fault? Will animals inhabit our domiciles, sighing a relived sigh, after we are all gone?
