Drifting
Like plankton
In a stream
We are being swept (in a stream) into unknown waters
Virtual reality is
Kindness
Hope
Social anxiety
Love
Sex
Exploration
Belonging
Purpose
Loneliness
Distress
Panic attack
You are like Holoplankton
Users are like Holoplankton
Drifting
We drift together
Through the unknown
I love you
Virtual Reality is not a game
It is as real as you make it to be
This album is about love, disappointment, alienation, desperation, hate and healing
The content of each song has been experienced by a human being in virtual reality
Enjoy the ride

Sunday morning's always painful
My ears are ringing from your whisper
When I saw you in his arms, yeah
I knew how much I fucked up again
I miss the time when you were no one
Before you brought out the best in me
You confronted me
With the shadows in my reflection
I want to put you in my pocket so I can always have you close
I don't mind the extra baggage oh I just wanna carry you along, no no
Stop
You're triggering my phantom sense
You are way too real
And the pain is what I wanna feel, oh
Stop
You were feeling like home again
So I threw the key away
Now I'm cold
And I missed the final train
You give me phantom sense
I see you laughing at the party
Keep glancing over, I have no control
Are you already over me
'cause I am hurting underneath
I want everything and nothing
But that is not how loving works
I left you hanging out to dry
For way too many times
Now the wind took you away
I want to put you in my pocket so I can always have you close
I don't mind the extra baggage oh I just wanna carry you along, no no
Stop
You're triggering my phantom sense
You are way too real
And the pain is what I wanna feel, oh
Stop
You were feeling like home again
So I threw the key away
Now I'm cold
And I missed the final train
You give me phantom sense
Nobody's ever made me distrust myself so much
The salty air of winter whiskey sips fills my lungs
As the day descends to darkness I fail to
Recognize myself when the streetlamps come alive
Crying in the moonlight as the cold creeps up my thighs
Numb to all that's good as I set my soul on fire
Injecting all the gasoline to burn the stupid shit I've said away
Yeah
You're triggering my phantom sense
You are way too real
And the pain is what I want to feel, oh
Stop
You were feeling like home again
So I threw the key away
Now I'm cold
And I missed the final train
You give me phantom sense
You give me phantom sense
You give me phantom sense

Acid

The cocktail that’s holding me feels warm
I wish the melted ice was replaced with alcohol
My tornado of questions is drowned out by Billie Jean
(Who is your lover)
Every time you pierce me with your quiet smile
You say there’s a book in your shelf that’s not covered in dust
It’s about wanting more than one man can give
The dim red lights let your eyes slightly glisten
Before I can answer you go and get the bill
There’s so many beautiful fish in the sea
In sizes and colours from massive to green
I want to catch them and drown them in acid
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me
I thought I was unshakeable so very hard
But the quakes that you made threw my body out of bed
My head was tossed back to 2016
How could I forget all the nightmares I had
There’s so many beautiful fish in the sea
In sizes and colours from massive to green
I want to catch them and drown them in acid
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me
So you can’t get a taste of what’s better than me

Didn’t ask for anything
Never asked for more than what a good person or a nice person should have
But something in this life decides that I don’t get that
Not saying its you
Not saying it’s the mistakes you made
But god damn man
I can only imagine
How much you
Would hate to see what it’s like inside my head
The memories I have, the things I’ve felt
If you could take one look inside of me
Is there anything you wanna say before I leave
I just can’t do this anymore tonight
‘cause I deserve better

I’ll drip a little
Waiting for the days to come
I’ll drip a little
Waiting for your echoes to go
Aooh
Aooh
Thought you was the realest
Don’t really feel shit
I’m a pupstar, rockstar, deal with it
Not even real big
I’m a princess
So pretty
I know you’re gonna miss this
So heavy
Don’t think I can lift this
So scary
They call me a cryptid
Stay lifted
With the crew, how I do, when I hit this hard
Did it again thought we’re more than just friends
Found what I sought, masochistic intent
The walls are too thin and I hate how you breathe
The night doesn’t end
I think I’ll just leave
I’ll drip a little
Waiting for the days to come
I’ll drip a little
Waiting for your echoes to go
Aooh
Aooh
When I hit this hard, I
Didn’t wanna leave
Heart up on my sleeve
Don’t wanna beef
No we cannot be friends
Don’t want this to end
Alone in my bed
Dark nights
Lost my will to fight, not my kinda life
It’s a new trend
Hate what you said
That’s why I left
Did it again thought we’re more than just friends
Found what I sought, masochistic intent
The walls are too thin and I hate how you breathe
The night doesn’t end
I think I’ll just leave
I’ll drip a little
Waiting for the days to come
I’ll drip a little
Waiting for your echoes to go
Aooh
Did it again thought we’re more than just friends
Found what I sought, masochistic intent
The walls are too thin and I hate how you breathe
The night doesn’t end
I think I’ll just leave
Think I’ll just leave
I think I’ll just leave, yeah
Think I’ll just leave
Think I’ll just leave, yeah
Think I’ll just
Think I’ll just
Don’t ask me if I’m ok
Just let me
Just let me hurt
Alone

Why can’t I be just like them
Life is easy no I can’t
Focus, set, realistic
Not set on my USB-stick
I can see her walking down the stairs, that gaze, unmistakeable
Passing me, eyes fixed, omniscient
Knowing how I feel inside, forget the world, forget the pride
Shiny eyes, tempting, bad, promises to give me what I never had
Why can’t I be just like them
Life is easy no I can’t
Focus, set, realistic
Not set on my USB-stick
Fake love, lingering and wait, the bait is out for you to take
Emerging from the inside
Surrogate to imperfection, leading to the wrong direction
Shiny eyes, tempting, bad, sucking me in, making me mad.
Why can’t I be just like them
Life is easy no I can’t
Focus, set, realistic
Not set on my USB-stick
I can’t hold back this urge to be myself
So don’t stop me
I can’t refuse to be myself
Be myself
Why can’t I be just like them
Life is easy no I can’t
Focus, set, realistic
Not set on my USB-stick
Why can’t I be just like them
Focus, set, realistic
Not set on my USB-stick

Birds and Foxes

A river runs north
Through a mountain pass
Through the treetop dreams and the violet sky
Reality repairs my illusion
As I drift away into the night
The wind blows the sunrise away
As eternal darkness leaves me blind
Oh and if I had one chance
To make it all better
I would grab it and never let go
I know a man
Who had the fire in his eyes
And the spirit of a thousand ghosts
He walks alone
Through the forests and the hills
And all the birds and the foxes sang
Awooo
Awooo
Awooo
The wind blows the sunrise away
As eternal darkness leaves me blind
And if I had one chance
To make it all better
I would grab it and never let go
And if I had one chance
To make us all better
I would grab it and never let go
Never let go

Portland

In the end you were the final straw, don’t pretend to disagree
I learned to recognise myself when I saw what you chose not to be
The beaten path may lead to Rome but I’m not planning to tag along
´cause home will never be
the place where I am currently no no
I’ll be there in a heartbeat
88 hundred miles across the sea
What will I do when I’m with you you you
You you you
That’s why I
Will never go to Portland
You were keeping me afraid of what the days there hold for me.
And I
Am scared of being honest
When the fog is gone and the sunlight touches the sea
When the fog is gone and the sunlight touches the sea

This whole album is amazing and It's very hard for me to pick a favourite because it keeps changing but every song on this album absolutely go's off. All of Pepper Coyote's (Including his early work in Look Left) and Fox Amoore's songs are definitely worth listening to.

Hashtag

I'd listened to this album years before attending my first furcon and I feel that the mood it sets is the closest thing to actually being there. It beautifully captures the soul of the furry fandom.

A Musical Tail: One Weekend
by Fox Amoore
supported by 13 fans who also own “Holoplankton”
Very cute, and very true-to-life! The arrangement is extremely well-done on every track, it is hard to believe that this did not come from some large production company. I bought the LP, and I must admit that I am slightly disappointed with the sound quality. It was clearly cut from a compressed digital source. There are some artifacts present at softer passages that should otherwise be bone-jarringly smooth on high-fidelity LPs.
go to album
Giddy and ramshackle bedroom indie pop bursting with buoyant guitars and summery vocal hooks.

A Sword of Holly (2018 VERSION)
by Flora
An ambitious pop song cycle about human loneliness and fear, thick with harmonies and buoyed by tight musicianship.

When My Heart Felt Volcanic
by The Aces
Big, sparkling pop music from The Aces, with hooks for days and glimmering instrumentation.

Wonderful memories contained in sound, as some very significant marks in the fandom history are made
