\nIt’s our circumstance
\n(Unaligned Dance!)
\nDance!
\n(…in an unaligned line dance)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\n[Minimal Groove, Bouncy Bass, Vocal Chops]
\nStep to the side but not the same
\nEveryone\u2019s out of sync in the frame
\nLeft goes right and right goes wrong
\nBut somehow it all fits in the song<\/p>\n
No formation, no command
\nFreestyle rhythm, understand
\nIf you miss it, that\u2019s the plan
\nLose the line and find the jam<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Build: Rising Synth, Snare Rolls, Filter Opening]

\n[Groove Returns, Added Arp Synth]
\nDifferent steps in different time
\nEvery body draws their line
\nNo two moves are ever the same
\nStill we\u2019re all inside the frame<\/p>\n
Turn around or stand in place
\nFind your rhythm, set your pace
\nNo wrong way, no straight advance
\nJust fall into the unaligned dance<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Higher Energy Build, Snare Rolls, Rising Pitch FX]

\nOff-grid\u2014no script
\nLet the pattern start to slip<\/p>\n

About the Song
\nThe new release of the day, \u201cUnaligned (Line) Dance,\u201d is both literal and figurative. It\u2019s not really political\u2014you don\u2019t step left, you don\u2019t step right\u2014but it also resists the idea of conforming to nonconformity. Musically, I pair acoustic guitar with dub-influenced electronics to create a kind of sonic equivalence. In the end, success is simple: if it gets you to dance\u2014together, but never the same way.<\/p>\n
