We rode a turquoise-magenta bird with no name over the black purple sea, into the heart of Jipree-dyudgan prefecture Now, no state is innocent but Jipree-dyudgan didn't deserve what was happening to them, and plus—Zaflo's sister Butch was in Mortiño castle somewhere—CAPTURED! When we got there the spot was hot with 5-0 everywhere But our giant bird had already flown off on us— We had to find another way in. Alio had an idea, contact the Anarcho-Syndicalist Rock women of the swamplands I looked over the ridge to the capital captured city below Industrial tanks spewing gray matter into the orange blue sky Populated towers held hostage by invading plutocratic soldiers Thousands of soldiers Faces from every cross-section of the Galaxy Each one ready to kill with varying degrees of certainty "Yo these pigs are lookin shook right now, they know the Landers are coming but they don't know when!" "Let's give the people what they want." "Alright I'm clicking it in!" The black rainbow music careened over the mountain to the city below melting the metal all along the way All the little pieces of metal in a transistor radio There was a dam that melted It wasn't the best situation

I'd die for you So long my loving sister Why cry it's true So wrong So long My friend We're from the seeds of the days That's long been passed away Make way enforced on the hour the one who steals the power

Clear/Bright 02:09
Clear Bright Near sight She came off like a rebel Played bass in the hall Started listening to metal Banshee caterwauls Drove dad up the walls Queer Light Weird night She fell off like a petal Made rings in the pond Never wanted to settle Spray paint at the prom Got addicted to pedals Got addicted to songs Built a whole other level Then queened up her pawn Headbanged with your mom Went clear in the wrong Peeled 8 on your lawn Made waves with her songs Threw rocks at the gong
4.
Play It Cool 02:53
Can't play it cool the accident, smoother than your fake accent you talk too slow, Mom and Dad have always known you can't play it cool you supersize with each request a penguin dies you have my eyes, film me in the mirror lies, can't play it cool you pick up sticks, meet me at the well at 6:00 Listen to Styx Can't play it cool you play it warm stronger than my love forlorn consuming porn with the X-Man Storm You play it wise, all the presents are your prize Your angels rise, kiss your head creeping near your jag off bed Your old dog Ted has monetized Every last drop of surprise for school supplies, Mother's name is carved out on the window pane, can't play it cool listen to Staind Can't play it cool You play it smooth Rob Santana Smiths tattoo I'm on there too in some event said the worst thing and it sent out control to hyper space a butterfly's wobbly grace They own the world and its mistakes Preferring silence in this case Can't play it cool Life's not a race
5.
Jailbreak 01:51
Why don't you get me a water with ice Jump in the air and don't think twice Why don't you get me a silvery vice to pounce around the town None of it makes any sense No advice Could you just get me the water with ice Then we can pick out a dress that looks nice and grill the local clown Make myself useful and ending up used and confused Gap in her tooth that the rainbows of truth all shoot through Crowning the Black girl Ending the black mail Avenues packed wail and straighten your back Jailbreak Surrender my youthful appearance in service of you Jailbreak
6.
Ad Hominem 02:51
I could do a thousand takes cut out all the mistakes would it mean much more to you if I was 'Balky' to your 'Baloo' Perfect strangers you and me though we sprout from the same seed Billion images I know Though you stole away the show Hold desire in contempt Trial's over Kanga's spent Roo is going off to jail Please don't fret or cry and wail Communards will win you see Final judgement jubilee Uphill battle this I know Love to hear your conscious flow Blessed by health and love and weed Find the truth dialectically No Ad Hominem attacks What do you take me for? An ass?
7.
The Judge 01:41
All rise free the options to try to cry I want the world cut off from the Judge All rise free the options to drive to cry I want the world cut off from the Judge for every spirit Judge Judges found to free all the options for breathing and don’t drive around (and the little mouse on his motorcycle proceeds to take his joyride across the border)
8.
Heaven Sent 03:02
I have a complex structure in my mind can't even comprehend I hear the notes and try to talk in time struggle to represent Thinking of things as this and not as that turning around the bend seeing the light's shade from the other side See what they could have meant Nothing was there before they caught the crime I was just paying rent Giving and wasting all my precious time You were just heaven sent
9.
Don't treat me in any particular way She operated on Ovaltine May cuchifritos and whip the cream She got a valkyrie profile She kept me sweddid She kept me clean Intelligente Made real my dream Don't treat her in any particular way She'll catch your soul today

"Hark! It's the Climax Landers! It's the Climax Landers!" Somebody shouted, the fractured world stood still for one moment And patched together lives, programs, patterns sacrosanct, forests and mountains and roads and airways, and slipstreams stood still for a moment Through regular lives Mortiño Castle and the magenta bird made a silhouette in the sky Looked up, Deep black lovingly applied Deep black lovingly applied You could make out the sedimentary rock women in the distance as they walked toward the music Alio was right the plan paid off. A soldier decided to finally introduce pink lingo into their lexicon, to offset the Anguish of the Melted Metal Main Character Syndrome spread like wildfire the brightness clicked in their heads like water in a dry mouth "Perhaps there is no model for the state of symbiosis we must envisage" exclaimed Will into the microphone. Don't overload on thoughts it's better just to empty them out The fallout and the chaos that ensued was tempered by friendship and new goals but at this moment the past and the future seemed wonderfully empty That's just what they felt like: There's only ever one chance to dance Climax Landers

Climax Landers’ relatable freak rock follows no rules. They sing to spread love and cherish the world’s cause. Unity over law, love over all. We’re here to have fun, too. The band’s earthy music is a new form of psychedelic Guthrie folk, tied up in Pollard aesthetics, fried to celestial rock ‘n’ roll. The band exists in today’s Brooklyn, a beautiful and old city stifled by our modern age of stinking convenience. Despite the techno-plutocracy suffocating truth and beauty, our intrepid group fulfills communal bonds and commitments—inspiring newcomers and old friends to fight for the days ahead.

'Zenith No Effects' is the quartet’s awesome return statement to the rockin’ collective. Comprised of Will, Ani, Paco, and Charlie, each member of the band brings their unique talents and personalities to cohere in ecstatic expression under the Climax Landers banner. They all sing, playing multiple instruments; united like four great directors coordinating a new achievement in enlightening bliss.

The album begins immediately, offering transport to fantasy lands unknown and then to recognizable adolescent hallways. The band is in sync, playing a timeless rock music dancing on the fringe of classification. Powerful pleas for love and collective unionization stand out with "My Loving Sister" and "The Judge." Climax Landers’ shared voices, music, and message are woven together with natural purpose. This is the sound of friendship, this is the sound of love. There is a melancholic triumph to 'Zenith No Effects,' the band's first album in six years. We won’t stop fighting, and we will celebrate our every breath!
