Synapse of the Century, our first full length album takes off with the cosmic love song, Travel the Universe, to traverse numerous existential planetary vantage points along this ten song journey. Synapse covers the full range of love, life, loss, pain, strain, and gains while reflecting themes of hope and fear throughout the duo's evolved electronic approach to songwriting during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

lyrics
Driving down the highway
It’s getting pretty late
I’ve got the hammer down
I’m on Rt. 28
When off on the side of the road
Little dolls tied to a cross like a headstone
…or a roadside memorial
From a life on a cellphone while they’re driving down the road
…to being tied around a telephone poll
On Route 28
Where all the the trains roll by
And the cars go flyin’
One of these days
You might lose your way
On Rt. 28
Down by the riverbanks
As I try to take a break after a long night of driving ...on route 28
When some screeching tires as a car rolls by on the wrong side of the road followed by an explosion
Cause they were dozing off on Route 28
Route 28
Where all the trains roll by
And the cars go flyin’
One of these days
You might lose your way
On Rt. 28
It’s like a roadside memorial
Where someone took the time to go back and say
You were a life worth celebrating
That got lost on the side of the road
Now a place to pray on Route 28
