Wakes us all It sways the soul The way ah The waves are forming Waning sun I’m waiting for the way up So wait up for me Hey don’t think all day Go seek Don’t ask for your change Wake up Maybe your tamed by Man’s insolent ways [Mental, spiritual health Spiritual, spiritual, very important Is there some reason why these creative people seem to be a little bit more conscious than the rest of the community? I, I think they want to be at their best at all times.] Raving on the dance floor I’m making up the fatal story Of caged anthropos Gaining spark ephemeral In this sanctuary Wake up Maybe your tamed by Man’s insolent ways Hey don’t think all day Go seek Don’t ask for your change X2 [We will have less confusion Live by the golden rule And this will be a service to the community Where people become enlightened That is very important.]

Spaces 03:03
Places in our fantasy I go to where we want to be free And I swear I feel your touch on me I will always be here waiting Craving oh your touches in the night And your soft eyes Waiting for the moment that feels right To get lost in lust (La la la-ee-ah, la la laa-ee-ah ah, la laa-ee-ah ah, la laa-ee-ah ah) x2 Spaces that we generate Leaving distance for desire’s gaze And I wanna live the modern age Share you up on top the world’s stage Craving oh your touches in the night And your soft eyes Waiting for the moment that feels right To get lost in lust (La la la-ee-ah, la la laa-ee-ah ah, la laa-ee-ah ah, la laa-ee-ah ah) x4

Stay forever Heart is burning like the sun Stay forever Heart is burning Heart is burning Feel a vague force It pulls me into your arms I’m so impaired by thoughts of Potential energy of you You stimulate an itch that won’t go Every time you enter into view I need you x2 Stay forever Heart is burning like the sun Stay forever Heart is burning Heart is burning Anticipation My body it aches with every pulse Unconsciously drawn towards the Uncharted territories of you I animate our moments unknown With your eyes intent across the room I need you x2 Stay forever x2 Stay forever I need you Stay forever I need you I need you x2

about

Stream it: ffm.to/usephemeral.KAE

"Detached from the influences of the outside world, I began to reunite with feelings that I forgot I had the capacity to feel. I started to recognize how, in this modern society fueled by greed and excess, we have reached a collective state of deep desensitization. Us Ephemeral is a call to return back to ourselves, to feel without judgment or resistance; self-actualization as an act of selflessness."

-Vitesse X

Critical Reception:
“…transportive…”, “Engineered with precision” and “.. channels bits of techo, trance, 2-step, and jungle into contemporary rave hybrids tempered with a hint of vaporwave’s self-awareness... The title track kicks things off with dust clouds of reverb, little scraps of what might be radio transmissions, a big widescreen beat, and Stern’s floaty vocals. A sped-up voice riding shotgun chants, Go go go go go. It’s a winning start to an album that continues down similar paths, passing landmarks of the last 40-odd years of dance music." -Pitchfork

"...euphoric, rave-ready..." -Gorilla vs. Bear

"A shapeshifting, retro-futuristic effort from the nyc vapor-house debutante." -IMPOSE MAGAZINE

"An ode to the perpetual passing of time, “Us Ephemeral” embraces the impermanence and absurdity of life itself." -C-Heads

"Vitesse X's affinity for blending elements of dream-pop, drum & bass percussion, and vaporwave is made immediately apparent with her newest track's hypnotic yet energetic feel." -Ones To Watch on 'Us Ephemeral'

"The retrofuturist project is what we can safely call a crossover as it transcends jungle beats, vaporware, hypnagogic pop and chillwave to form something new, a cyborg dream pop that would fit so well in the 100% Electronica landscape." - Highclouds
