	Over a year after their death, Dichotic has released a new track! On June 17, 2002 we wrote Scratched Out. Drums/guitar/bass were recorded on June 21st, vocals on the 22nd. Then we fought about the mix for a while (some things never change, even when you're dead). And now you can hear it to. Oh yeah, it's a 4-track recording, but it's pretty well done.

	Story Behind the Song Dichotic is no longer an active performing band, but we learned Scratched Out in one night and recorded it in a matter of hours. Lyrics Scratched out, work of art, everything dies In the face, of time, raked in, laughingstock Opportunity, curtailed, nullified Defiant ways, now estranged, pacified Priorities, reanalyzed, surging To the, forefront, self-sufficient Satisfied, with the, status quo Degradation, of twisted, invention Hollow...regurgitation...followed by...non-conclusion Hungry...masses of...groveling fools...unsatiated Profligate abandonment Eschewing their senses Pale memento ignites Conflagration Questionable motives Overwhelmed by uncertainty Underlying conflict, muffled anticipation, lifeless, grounded, dead and buried Charred remnants of ambition now litter the discarded landscape Faint hope remains in the afterglow. There's no telling the probability. Grabbing the goat by the horns, and now yu proudly wear them. Scratched out, work of art, everything dies In the face, of time, raked in, laughingstock Opportunity, curtailed, nullified Defiant ways, now estranged, pacified Keenly aware of the ramnifications, spiteful testimony, moral accusation The albatross grows heavy now, eventual conclusion Unthinkable but not impossible, no practical alternative Nothing is scared or written in stone to preserve it
