One year of The Painful Truth. To celebrate, we’ve released a brand new limited edition Zoetrope Vinyl, and it looks unreal. Side A brings each band member to life in motion as it spins. Side B features a hypnotic purple & white moving graphic. Strictly limited. Never to be repressed.

Plus, you’ll get the remix of “Meltdown” instantly with your purchase. Grab yours via store.skunkanansie.com before they’re gone.

MELTDOWN (BLACKHILL REMIX LYRICS)

ANGELS HAVING A MELTDOWN 
IN A HIGH-RISE RENTAL UPTOWN 
NOW THAT EVERYTHING COMES DOWN
TO WHO YOU PRAY TO AND HOW LOUD 

IN OUR HEARTS WE’VE CREATED THE ILLUSION 
THAT WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT 
THINGS TO LEARN 
DAYS ROLL INTO NIGHTS IN OUR CONFUSION 
WE THINK HAPPINESS IS WHAT WE’VE WON 

YOU MAY FEEL THAT NOTHING REALLY CHANGES 
YESTERDAY THE ONLY FRIEND THAT SIGHS 
WE WILL ALWAYS GIVE INTO TEMPTATION 
’COS LONELINESS IS LOUDER WHEN WE’RE HIGH 

YOU’RE A WAYWARD BEING WHEN THE DARK HITS 
COMFORTED BY SILENCE IN THE VOID 
HOOKED ON EVERYTHING 
THE CROWDED STREETS BRING 
SOMEHOW FEELING CALMER IN THE NOISE
