The Emphatic "Yes!" - Position Artist Above Spike

A pair of scissors about to cut a marker.
[Large scribbly text:] Why is everything a record?

There is a constant idea that Wibi records are baaaad, and lazy and bad, and reflect unchecked narcissism or the like. 
And that we are sisting here in our ivory tower soon to have a Website to guard viciously and growl at people from.

Anyway I'm being cancelled and I'm very brave for making this record anyway. Why records? We don't even listen to records. Brain virus from popular men who put out 1,000 records I guess. Wibi contrives a distraction on command, now where was I?

Side 1: Position Artist Above Spike, Street 1, Keep Punting It - Punt Further, Never Quite, Crunched! (The Single), Mark the Occasion.
Side 2: Crunch, Hypothetical Song, Street 2, 911 Is Who I Can Call If I Ever Don't Like How Someone Feels, If The Only Phrase You Can Come Up With To Describe A Very Scary Creature Is 'Eldritch Abomination' You Have no Imagination And It Is Terminal, Feeling Heady.

An album released on November 20th, 2025.
12 tracks running 39:53.

After a while of collecting field recordings for this project, I have decided to make it. Assembled from Nov. 17 to Nov. 19. Wibi's detached noisecapade continues to qualify as music and they keep rubbing up against statues of old hipsters expecting money or mystical prestige or some crap... When will I become cool again? How much money should I spend to be cool and hardcore and epic?
All songs, if they are songs, by Tick.
