@KheyStavroguine @noechonet 🙌

@discouragehc @noechonet A very, very strong album, completely deserved.

Beyond honored that @noechonet included “In Lieu of Flowers” as one of the best LPs of 2025. Wild to see it next to names like Combust, C4, Deadguy, Scarab, and others. Thank you to anyone who checked it out, picked one up, read the lyrics, moshed, or was inspired by it. ❤️
