Leslie Hunt: "We went with an autobiographical approach for the video as the lyrics are a rapid-fire observation of the world at large, covering a wide range of topics including natural disasters, climate change, abortion, political indictments, toxic optimism, confirmation bias and a woman’s right to choose. The only through-line in the video is the single individual, navigating foreign streets and attractions with nothing but a selfie stick and some coping skills. We used only sped up and slowed clips to depict how how using substances to cope rarely leaves you feeling ok when unaltered, always chasing the next nudge to another state. The video ends in chaos, showing the exhausting nature of constantly running away from discomfort"
Video filmed and edited by Leslie Hunt and Mike Ullegue.
X-Faded (Seisser/Hunt)
the smell of fire all around me
trapped on all sides by a rising sea
two extremes that feed this
opposing force that’s fearless
conserve your favorite, throw away the rest
running dry is for the best
we can pivot as we see fit
we’re building castles in the sandpit
one wave away from the ending
ripping apart while mending
these two actions at the same time
what a mess to leave behind
for the lives we’re forced to keep
with no regard for the living
protect the pre and the post
and if you’re stuck here, learn to cope
Just get crossfaded
Turn off, don’t wait cause
Life’s short, I’ll make it
Drunk, stoned, elated
Bottoms up, inhale it
Burned out and jaded
Don’t get frustrated
Line up and take it
two slits for eyes is the new way
squinting to see what is far away
rosy glass colored ceiling
the hail is far more appealing
one man is trash, one’s a treasure chest
in-between to measure best
either for or against it
to be or not is the question
only the choir in attendance
you say your piece, they nod their heads
if they don’t happen at the same time
what a fatalistic crime
get someone to represent
no regard for the offense
protect and serve your own
and if you’re not one, learn to cope
Just get crossfaded
Turn off, don’t wait cause
Life’s short, I’ll make it
Drunk, stoned, elated
Bottoms up, inhale it
Burned out and jaded
Don’t get frustrated
Line up and take it
That’s life, don’t waste it
I’m not frustrated
Just get crossfaded
Eyes red and shaded
I’ll get crossfaded
Turn off, don’t wait
Life’s short, I’ll make it
Drunk, stoned, elated

Found this completely by accident but really enjoyed it. Really different style and my attention spans short but i stuck around. At 3:30 that guy in the blue shirts like wtf is this mad woman doing haha
Hella dope
Whaaat The actual F! Wow!
AWESOME
oooo i like this 😎
I LOVE IT
Holy crap!! Fantastic song. You all have outdone yourselves
You guys are hitting on all cylinders here. A very mature tune. Both in in composition, and execution. A really, really good listen!
Those transition points are awesome!!! So unexpected and heavy! Way to be so unpredictable! From Sweet to Scary! Love it.
great song! it's very radical and bold .A pop song based on a four chords harmony intricated in a much more complex chorus in the style of D97. Never heard something like this before but the result is very cool. I wish you the best for your upcoming record. Salutation from France!
Heard this song on Progradio...bloody fantastic guys!!!!
Been a lot of years, but I used to be X-faded most of the time, for years. Ugh. I relate. Great song and vid, pre-ordering CD, voting. Cheers! Play a SoCal show soon! Preferably SAN DIEGO!
WoW ! Stunning ! I love your music 😀
its this band a few others like Steven Wilson that have maintained my faith in great music still being available
I quite like this tune!
I love unpredictability in music
Awesome! Melody lines only District97 can write!!! Love it!!!
Wonderful!!! Great to see something new coming out from you!~Sebastian
Sounds like a 90s gem

Haunting beautiful or beautiful haunting either or it rocks and has thought provoking lyrics.

I LOVE YOUR MUSIC....BEAUTIFUL ❤
This is absolutely incredible. I'm more psyched than ever for the new album.
So you were here in Milan for a nice trip on a "tram" and on the top of the Duomo! My partner and I discovered you just on September at Veruno's Prog Festival, we bought your cd and now... we're addicted! Great job, guys! Hope to see you here in Milan again for a concert!😍
👏great tune!
❤❤
❤
D97 being cutting edge. Again. : ) Almost an embarrassment of (cooperative) riches when they take the stage!
great song! Can someone help a german guy, what vers is about abortion? And what does it mean? Thanks for helping
There’s a parameter in my E-MU Proteus keyboard called X-Fade but I have no clue what it does and I bought it in 1992. Today I own 4.
Great! The Triskeles pendant has something to do with the concept of the album?
That Tram ride looks a bit bumpy. PC spotted his uncle! Nice shoot!
