I’m looking up at the sky as snow floats to the ground, covering everything around me. While the grey outside is being painted by mother nature, something else is happening in my eardrums. I have a new TAURUS song “No Thing Longing… Human Impermanence” on repeat, expanding into vast parts of my brain with each sound. This very special band will be releasing a new record entitled No/Thing very soon, but in the meantime you can check out this track below…I will say this about TAURUS – the layers and depth of their music is neverending, but all I want to do is hear more! You can pre-order No/Thing right HERE!
1. No Thing Longing… Human Impermanence
2. Lives Long For Own

Further details to be announced in the coming weeks.
TAURUS defines rehearsed spontaneity; organized mathematical rhythms of the timeless organic. Their view, not of man but an abstraction. The abstract is real, the actual is invisible. It is their sense of space and time; seeing through the here and now, into the vast black deep beyond, the unchanging… Life is an interval. The cosmic process is hurrying on, crushing life back into granite and methane. The wheel constantly turns for all Life… yet all Life is temporary. All creating and recreating. Each movement so important. Each space equally as relevant. We are dust
