With the completion of their first full-length album, "Into the Singularity and the Maw of Tomorrow," Every Other Fate has found themselves caught in a maelstrom of high-profile performances, including headlining a show at SXSW, opening at Stubbs for Kevin Martin (Candlebox) and the Hi-Watts, playing The Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Music Festival, and consistently headlining in the Austin area.
"Into the Singularity..." flows in movements as a narrative, telling the 1st-person story of a man struggling against technology and questing for meaning and enlightenment.
"Phantoms Fill the Skies" is a manic-depressive torrent of the erratic and melodic. Its a Butoh dance of post/math-rock that shudders between frenzy and foreboding; an auditory representation of the mass of phantoms, both lashing and passive, watching you.
This is the second album of Every Other Fate.
Every Other Fate includes Brent Ferguson (vocals/bass), Josh Cunningham (guitar), Matt Hinterlong (guitar/backup vocals) and Brandon Daniel (drums). All of their projects, including their current album, are all-encompassing and include original artwork, graphics and web design.

Sawagi tsuzuketeta dake no arifureta yoru ga akete
Ugoki hajimeta bakari no machi kado ga mabushii
Hashagi tsukareteku dake no mainichi wo sugoshi nagara namida no nagashikata sae wasure sou datta
