## Synopsis

Terminal of Dimensions is the forty-eighth I Remember 2006 album. Acting as the yang to Vagabond Letters' folk rock yin, Terminal of Dimensions is a Progressive Rock album. Spanning over two and-a-half hours long, notably shorter than it's predecessor, it consists of eight long tracks that don't go under eleven minutes and goes as long as thirty-two minutes. In standard IR06 fashion, this album continues the lore, with every song either advancing ongoing plot lines or adding something new to the lore. It also brings back the concept of hidden tracks, not seen since Era Two.

## Artists' Notes

### Rafe's Note

And now here's our sixth album we've made with eight tracks. This album is... a metal album, essentially. There was a joke I had before we started Vagabond Letters where it was me saying "would it be funny if we made a dream pop album followed by a metal album?" Well, we just didn't have the material to make a dream pop album. (And if we did, we'd probably make a shoegaze album instead. I don't know, maybe that will be our next one now that I have an multi-effects pedal. I have been on a BIG Beach House kick recently.). So, Vagabond Letters became a folk rock album. And, well, here's the progressive metal album. Degradation of the Beauty of Nature in One's Mind was also pretty metal, but the second half became a folk rock side. So this, besides two songs, is our Progressive Metal IR06 album. Either way, this album was always going to be a heavy album by design. Vagabond Letters was designed to be soft, while Terminal of Dimensions was designed to be hard.

The biggest inspirations behind this album were King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (since that's where I got the idea to follow a soft album with an aggressive album), and especially Godspeed You! Black Emperor for sonics and structure. We've been on a GY!BE kick for months now. I even recently got 'ALLELUJAH! DON'T BEND! ASCEND! on vinyl! (As well as 7 by Beach House, Infest the Rats' Nest by King Gizzard, and Every Country's Sun by Mogwai). There's even Slint inspirations on Wilbur's side.

We recorded this album while I was taking refuge at his house for a few days. There was a dangerous family fallout at my house, and I had to get away for a few days. The album cover is actually taken at a hotel in Muskegon that I went to a day prior to going to his house, where I found a weird hall that looked very liminal to me, so I recorded a couple of videos of it and one of the frames as the cover. (If you're wondering, the hallway leads to a restaurant of all things. Most of the time I was at his house, we played Minecraft whilst listening to records that I brought and also later bought, as well as records he already had. I got the records mentioned in the previous paragraph at a record store in Downtown Muskegon where Will's frequents. I paid for two records for him. Filth by SWANS, and Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex [Twin], while I bought the other four for myself.

I want to thank Wilbur, his family, my family and friends, James, Tatters, the Beach House discord server, GY!BE and KGLW, and everyone whose stuck with me. Things feel off right now, but I know I'll get through it.

### Will's Note

This album follows VC3 in a similar fashion. This album has a lot of metal influences. I’d say this is one of our heaviest IR06 albums. This features a track we meant to release a long time ago, “The Wheel”. I’m super happy about how this album came out. A lot of good things have been happening lately, but a lot of bad too.

I’d like to thank God, Rafe, my grandparents, Hunter, Faith, Anjel, Jay, and Carter. Life’s been getting worse, but they still have my back.

Godspeed,

-Wilbur Bullara

## Trivia

* This album technically has two hidden tracks. "Vantarask Tears Through The Barriers" and "From Muskegon, With Love".
* The last time there was a hidden track on an I Remember 2006 album was back in No More Bait.
* "Keep That Beast At Bay" consists of two different recordings done at different times of the day, hence why the second half is considered a hidden track.
