Never Mind The Gap

***Never Mind The Gap*** is the second full length album by Negative Øhio. Like their first album, a lot of the songs were released as singles ahead of the album, but this time the album is put together with a bigger focus on making it flow like a singular piece as opposed to feeling like a singles compilation.

The album was released on October 30th, 2020 digitally and on USB flash drive.

## Album Exclusive Tracks & Remixes

### ***Interlude***

* A short audio skit featuring the tiny fox and her friends preparing a concert.

### ***Check By You, We Can't Wake Your Ass In Hollywood (ft. NXP) [Rest in Pieces Mix]***

* This mix of the song has additional bass guitar parts recorded for it, and is mixed very differently from the original single version to make it flow better with the other songs on the album. The noise outro originally had all its subbass removed by accident, which is also reinstated in this mix.

### ***everybody who built the carpal tunnel went blind afterwards. [Unisexy Mix]***

* This version replaces the digital lead vocals with organic growls and screams from the band themselves. It also has additional bass guitar parts recorded, and is mixed to be heavier while also bringing out the solos more in the full mix. The digital vocals from the original are still in there, but buried with tons of effects to create atmospheric background noise for the most part.

### ***ENEMA NOSEBLEED [Toxic Tuxedo Mix]***

* This version is a massive genre shift from Smooth Lounge Jazz to incredibly aggressive Extreme Metal, with bass guitar as the lead instrument. The clean digital vocals and piano from the original are still there, while most of the drums are replaced by Cybergrind drum tracks. Additionally, a small audio skit is added to the end of the song.

### ***Your Dad's So Hot, We Fucked Him [Soil Panky Mix]***

* A remix of the entire Divine Infinite Love Flourishes EP, combined into one epic track. "The Intro" and "The Outro" are layered on top of each other in various experimental ways, while "The Song" appears at the end unaltered.

### ***MMXIX vs. MMXX***

* A sort-of sequel to MMXVIII, combining all the tracks recorded since that song into a massive Harsh Noise wall.

## Trivia

* The album cover was created using a lot of vacation photos from London, as well as digital drawings and tagging to create a collage. The cover aims to both parody certain famous album covers and mock conservative British politics.
* The album title was decided on the aforementioned vacation trip to London while sitting on a train.
* The physical release of the album contains exclusive remixes of some of the songs in its 8GB of bonus material.
* Many characters are hidden in the album art, including the tiny fox, The Dentist, The BMI Bandit & Yoga Warrior, Stack Man, The Fish Detective and Punk Chick. If you can find them all you deserve a cookie!
* Work on the album started almost immediately after the release of their first album.
