the Bell It Shines Like Gold, Vol. 1
Published date: October 19, 2024

This is a group of recordings that were made between 2024/Aug/05 & 2024/Oct/05. The album artwork was made by the Brazilian illustrator, Felipe Nunes (@nunes_nunes); the name derives from a Youtube channel viewer who noted that Patton's "the smokestack is black, and the bell it shines like gold," is his/her favorite blues lyric. According to some analysis that is not my own, the: (i) smokestack may symbolize themes such as destruction, vileness, or suffocation, while the (ii) bell may symbolize purity, hopefulness, or harmony.
