Blank Blue is the surreal story of an Armageddon born out of a massive
earthquake off the west coast of the United States and set sometime in
the future. The quake triggers a separation of the west from the rest
of the country, creating a whirlpool of devastation in its wake.
Millions die. Thousands survive. Those that survive eventually sink and
drown from the buckling lands, only to have scores of poison mushrooms
waiting for them underneath the earth's masses, loosened from centuries
old trees. The poisoned water gives them their first gasp, and
miraculously they are able to and breathe and live underwater. The
album tells the story from various points of views, from an all-knowing
narrator, to a psychic fish that warns people via their dreams, to
random characters who watch their loved ones drown or ask the others
underwater how to find the ability to breathe. The confusion and
sadness is balanced by the fascination of having to start everything
all over again; learning how to breathe and swim etc.
