The 7th album in an 18 year music career by Meiosis has landed. A journey through a fear of flying, through city life in New York, Berlin and Newcastle upon Tyne brings us to an emotional but uplifting occasions with a joyous celebration of the absurdities of life as we know it in 2016. It's wonderfully weird but somewhat oddly accessible.

I was lonely,
So I made it out for the night,
closely,
Observing the barks and the bites,
And strangers,
Wonderfully chatting to me.
Moving,
Around the sparkling outlets on show,
I choose one,
The moment the propitiators go,
“Make him as unwelcome as any kid is here!”
Now the beats are strong,
But the beats are wrong,
So how can I be right,
In a place as wrong as this?
I was lonely,
So I made it out for the door,
And quirk-er-ley, made back in for some more.
Losing any self-respect I ever had,
But gaining the confidence of an egotistical lad
Now the beats are strong,
But the beats are wrong,
So how can I be right,
In a place as wrong as this?
Marking my pain on my face with a blow,
A reminder that, I never wanted to know,
What it was like here, in the first place,
All those years ago.
I was lonely,
So I never put up a fight,
Take me somewhere,
I can forget about my plight,
Losing all of the confidence of an egotistical lad
Because the beats are strong,
But the beats are wrong,
So how can I be right,
In a place as wrong as this?
