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.

lyrics
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
