Thrill to the tale of Lizard Monster—ashore after a sixty-million-year undersea exile—grappling with a new, unfriendly world. His old friends are dead. He’s besieged by tiny people with tiny guns. Worst of all, he’s smitten with a homicidal robot. Will our hero persevere? Can he salvage joy from what’s left of his monochrome, badly-dubbed B-movie existence? Should Pale People really have spent a full year recording a goddamned kaiju rock opera? Listen, friends, and see.

Our fifth album, recorded in 2019, mostly as a two-piece, following drummer Austin Graef’s departure. Completed with the addition of Saje Johns (guitar) and Doug Barrett (drums). Subsequent promotional tour cancelled by COVID-19, which all-consuming global calamity eerily mirrors the album’s content. Spooky stuff, nerds.
