As such, Nova Lux is a sonic narrative of post-rock splendor underscored by barely perceptible shifts in the aural firmament, the perpetual inertia of ringing notes, and the low hum of inevitability. The five ominous instrumental passages contained within are headphone music for the drone-damaged; the stirring, vaguely sinister murmurs of a half-remembered occurrence. Punctuated by the pedal steel of Greg Burns (Red Sparowes/Halifax Pier) on track one and the expert beat manipulation of Oktopus (Dรคlek) on track four, Nova Lux conjures up a nebulous psychic landscape in which the indefinable never takes shape, where the horizon slips in and out of focus and existential trepidation levitates just above the hearing threshold. Gallaghers guitar-based compositions are the proverbial ghosts in the machine, revealing an expert convergence of human expression and electronic technology that plumbs the murky depths and dim corners of elemental consciousness: Echoes of past experience take shape, floating across the stereo field before dissolving quietly into the ether like half-formed shadows at sundown.
The name Mustard Gas and Roses is a reference to a line from Kurt Vonneguts semi-autobiographical novel Slaughterhouse Five, a classic of gallows humor that recounts the horrific but little-known massacre at Dresden during World War II. Known as the Florence of the North, the German city was full of hospitals, wounded soldiers, and refugees toward the end of the War, before Great Britains Royal Air Force dropped 700,000 phosphorous bombs on the population of 1.2 million in the space of 14 hours on February 13, 1945. There were no military units stationed in Dresden at the time of the attack. Over a quarter of a million innocent civilians were killed as a resultmore than by the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined.
Just as Slaughterhouse Five laid bare a catastrophic event made deliberately obscure in the annals of world history, Nova Lux assembles the fragments of a corrupted archetypal memory into something almost tangiblethe flashpoint where the collective consciousness and personal recollection collide. Slow and deliberate, spectral and brooding, it finds its purpose with those who listen intently and without distraction.

I'm on a G5 send your location
I'm on a G5 send your location
I'm on a G5 send your location
I'm on a G5 send your location
I light the blunt up then I put it in rotation
I'm on a G5 send your location
I'm on a G5 send your location
I light the blunt up then I put it in rotation
I got no time to waste but it look so enticing
Look over here if you wondering where the dice is
Last time I remember i had you wrapped around my neck
It's like I always can forgive but then i can't forget the past
No no don't leave
Don't leave just yet
So cold the way you ice my kick
I know i know real deep within
I'll never leave my champagne skin
I done went ahead made her mine (Aye)
Bad yellow bitch she fine (She yellow)
And her booty feel just like jello
In the middle of the week had her feeling so mellow
She was popping like a hand full of kettle
Right there on the runway
I told her if I had one choice i told her I'll never leave
I'm looking out on a G5
I took my chances didn't know that i would skydive
No time to waste can't take no break my heart in overdrive
I'm stuck up in the fast lane till the end of time
I'm on a G5 send your location
I'm on a G5 send your location
I light the blunt up then I put it in rotation
I light the blunt up then I put it in rotation
I got no time to waste but it look so enticing
Look over here if you wondering where the dice is
Last time I remember I had you wrapped around my neck
It's like I always can forgive but then i can't forget the past
No no don't leave
Don't leave just yet
So cold the way you ice my kick
I know I know real deep within
I'll never leave my champagne skin
