1.
Night time swells up the hours caught up, crept out the clock tower I feel the breeze wash the streets Night tide swells up the hour and there you were Seller he's off to celebrate the night Howling screams, a fiend neither dead or alive I've laid and listened to your story, sexual victim Waiting for the night tide, waiting for the night tide Day breaks to recede the nights high tide silently the morning breed walks by

Genome 06:57
Long live I'm the king of my own let's trade at the stronghold of where I command Multiple shadows, a figure of one which one will serve you depends on my act each has a heart and each has a gun I'll sever you from the brigade I'll groom an accomplice, heir to my rule I'll be the decoy and I'll come to you I'll live out my stay and rue to the day I'll be the decoy and I'll wear the bruise Send in my son, send in my blood heir, send in my long lost age I'll be ok, I'm back to where I'm from the salt, the wound, he won Each has a heart, each has a gun Long live I'm the king of my own

The Rocks 06:09
I've built this house I live in all the fences and the windows I'm not your burden or dilemma but I'll cause them anyway I swear I live alone I'd never live alone I move across, I swim I wade Through the rocks I've caught the cave I swim more across the lake I've drowned in scars, I've bathed in hate Frozen tears for years, coloured my skin in dirt and lies scratching at the earth, pulling from the hurt I've built this house I live in All the fences and blackened windows, well I've built this house I live in
4.
The Ceiling 06:19
Stepped off the ceiling I started at and fell into an ordinary stay Stepped off the ceiling I started at and fell to a grave Dreamed of an actor, a dancer, a soul slinging play Now I look back at the ceiling I'm thinking, how did I get this way

about

In August 2012, Coerce went in to record their interim release 'Genome'. Setting a pop up recording studio, Coerce tracked in the Old Council Chambers in the Carlton Trades Hall on Lygon Street. A building rich of history, it provided the appropriate location and canvas in which Coerce were to record.
Genome's four tracks sonically explores a stripped bare "as is" approach in the recording/production process and musically travels back in time to where being "unsafe" really was ok.
Contextually Genome is somewhat of a concept release moving through the inner and outer contexts of Melbourne's city dwelling homeless. The days, the internal and external abuse, societal neglect and the circling drain.

Engineered and produced by the bands guitarist Mike Deslandes, mastered by Bob Weston (Chicago Mastering Service) and artwork by Matthew Adey, Genome is a limited run of 250 10" vinyl and digital download released in October 2012.
