LICE - Red Fibres
I am hunting down worms along the seabed
I am carving the Stele of the Vultures
I am rolling from the cradle for good
And now I'm walking around
And now I'm walking around
And now I'm walking around
Labour of constructing knowledge
Feeling in the dark for something
Looking through my infant fist
Then tubes I built, to sharpen objects

Two huts in the PASTURE, from which step this shipwreck's two survivors:
1 (Grand collapse of smoke / neuroses) tends the fire, hunched and exhausted
2 (Bone-and-muscle) saunters over, hacks and spits then pats 1's shoulder
The rivet stars fly out, bank and shoot towards the campsite...
Conchita Citron, beloved Torera, circling a bull with her muleta
10,000 Andalusians gasp:
The stars all flying past...
Carlo and Laetitia taking refuge in the mountains, but hear thuds from guns of fellow Corsicans:
The stars now flying nearer...
And now I'm walking around
And now I'm walking around
And now I'm walking around
And now I'm walking around
2's a pool of fibrous red
1 sets out to map these plains
"See! This snake fastened to me drops, benign, in a cloud of dust!"
And so I put my hands together and enmeshed my fingers like so
And said "I have made a cage" and you agreed
Us both forgetting these are fingers:
Skin and cartilage and flesh and bone

Biography
The truth is, Aes and I always have all these ideas crawling around our brains, and we wanted to share them with you. You may find that after listening to the project, it’s nearly impossible to get it out of your head. It’s only a matter of time before you share it with others.
The duo released their first collaboration, Lice, in 2015 for free. In a 2017 Never Nervous interview, Aesop talked about the benefits of releasing free music:
Hmmm. I don’t know? It just feels nice. I do a solo album and turn it in, and we spend many months figuring out how it’s gonna be presented. I do these free EPs with my guy and we can say “let’s drop this next week”. There’s a freedom to the whole thing that doesn’t exist when you’re worried about selling something. Plus people like free shit.
The duo released two more installments of the Lice-series, 2016’s Lice Two: Still Buggin’ and 2017’s Triple Fat Lice, respectively. The two artists have also toured together and their music has continued to remain free—Aesop and Sandman have instead opted to use their platform to promote charities close to their hearts:
On both Lice projects we decided to say ‘hey we don’t want money for this, but if you like it, consider tossing a coin in one of these directions… ’ We both picked different things each time. I grew up skateboarding and the things that Skateistan.org does are amazing. Sand’s choice felt awesome too and we received some videos of awesome kids out on sick fishing trips – psyched as hell. Feels good to help.
