    Micah Nelson [ aka PårticleKid ] comes from a lineage of musical and cultural pioneers, growing up touring with his father Willie Nelson and his brother Lukas Nelson, he has always been surrounded with vibrant and authentic creative spirits. Both a talented visual artist and iconoclastic musician, he has performed on shows like Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and at events like SXSW, FarmAid, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Neil Young’s Bridge-School Benefit. He has showcased his artwork and music in countless other venues, spanning the creative spectrum, from his involvement in the psych-punk band Insects vs. Robots, to idiosyncratic Charango performance, to cymatic visualizations of dancing water molecules.

    Micah’s new EP, Shapes, is a personal series of songs written and recorded in his mobile solar-powered a/v laboratory / van, aptly named ‘Vincent Van-Gogh.’ His playful and deeply moving approach to song-writing is embodied in seven songs, equal parts hyper-textural ventures through inner-dimensions and somber lo-fi lullabies. Shapes represents Micah’s first professional release under his pseudonym ParticleKid.

    The Shapes EP will be released August 28th 2012 on Brainfeeder artist Strangeloop’s burgeoning a/v label TeachingMachine. It will be available on iTunes, Tape, and a limited run of 12-inch Numbered Vinyls with special editions available with signed prints of Nelson's artwork.

Mosquito on my arm I love you So you can have some of my blood before I kill you Mosquitos in my head Looks like we're livin here together So just take your time, take my mind But then please fuck off O O O O O O Mosquito O O O O O O Mosquito I guess that you were born a vampire Well you remind me of some folks I used to know But I would never pass you the pipe around the campfire Cause you know it'd be a waste of the tobacco O O O O O O Mosquito O O O O O O Mosquito Mosquito on my arm...

Sitting on her front step And she's fixin me the breakfast YUM YUM YUM The hummingbirds a-hummin Around the tree a rope is hangin down Like the bicycle neighbors And the wheels in the smoke and I strum a little toke And the sound is never ending And she comes outside and her smile so wild Can the air be any fairer than her hair Can we just stay here forever LOVE LOVE LOVE Sitting on her front step And she's cookin me the breakfast YUM YUM YUM Now I'm lyin in her new room When I turn around she'll be there SOON SOON SOON

Maybe theres another way Maybe we can operate Maybe theres another way Maybe we can operate Do you think we live it up on the pages enough not to get ourselves erased? Do you think we live it on the airwaves enough not to get our channels changed? Maybe theres another way Have we nothing more to say? Don't we know another game? Well maybe we can play it today Do you think we live it up on the pages enough not to get ourselves erased? Do you think we live it up on the airwaves enough not to get our channels changed?
