about this song

“Televators“ is the final elegy for Julio Venegas, a close friend of Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar Rodriguez Lopez, who committed suicide in 1996 by leaping from an overpass into a freeway in rush hour traffic. In this album, Julio is called Cerpin Taxt. The whole album is a fictional account of how Julio/Cerpin spent his last days in a coma. Most of the tracks contain dreamlike images, but in “Televators” we’re pulled back to reality, and the fictional narrative matches real life.
