A Bullet, A Lever, A Key (2007)

"This seven song EP tells the story of my life backwards ? from my presumed suicide in a hotel room in 2054 to present day 2007, in the backroom of Lupo?s Heartbreak Hotel after a show. The music is a cross-breed of progressive rock rhythms and hip hop instrumentation. Lyrically, each song travels eight or nine years back in time to depict a telling scene in my tragic timeline. Over the course of the record, various clues unveil the catalyst of my downfall: the decision to leave music for the seemingly greener pastures of corporate life. The album is a rendering of how my life could look if I stopped doing what makes me happy and started following a more adulty path." - Gavin Castleton
