My new single Yeehaw came out yesterday!

Yeehaw is one of my favourite and deepest songs to date.  For me it evokes a deep sense of reverence, awe and peace.  It represents the battle we are always fighting, the suffering that is always present, the burden we are always bearing, the transformation we are always undergoing.

Narrative-wise in the Boroky saga, this is the voluntary journey to the underworld that transforms Sir Hideous Playful from simply paying lip-service to the redemptive process of brave optimism to actually living it.

lyrics: rivers are a lidless eye, a cavern in a wing where colours run toward a billion-dollar goatherd:

the quaintest interface, the influencer who remembered your baby’s name,

the mouse with the cute scythe who will always ask after your family

good with cheese, rough and tumble, new religion! Good with cheese, rough and tumble, new

religion!

Hunker Munker

sent me skunk-uh

pretty avuncular

better than a rat

Hunker Munker

down in the bunker

who woulda thought her

mood would go flat

go!

feel the river bed

soft pillow under head

draw a limit round your dread

treasure treasure

immeasurable measure

a river of gold such as no one had seen

treasure treasure

a swordfish at leisure

sufficient to make every farmland go green

go!

feel the river bed

soft pillow under head

draw a limit round your dread

go!

feel the mother’s glare

frustration not despair

it’s belief you can do better

rivers come and rivers go

but don’t dry ‘em up on purpose

no don’t muddy up the surface

coz you think you don’t deserve it

rivers change coz rivers flow

but don’t dry ‘em up on purpose

no don’t muddy up the surface

coz you’re so afraid of hurting

Tinky Winky

played with a slinky

til he got stinky

time for a bath

go!

feel the river bed

soft pillow under head

draw a limit round your dread

go!

feel the mother’s glare

frustration not despair

it’s belief you can do better

rivers come and rivers go

but don’t dry ‘em up on purpose

no don’t muddy up the surface

coz you think you don’t deserve it

rivers come and rivers go

but don’t dry ‘em up on purpose

no don’t muddy up the surface

coz you’re so afraid of hurting!

Music written, performed, produced, mixed and mastered by Toby Graham More details:

Boroky’s forthcoming album Rat Park is a saga featuring multiple characters (subpersonalities, alter egos) and many twists and turns. The first character we meet is Sir Hideous Playful, aka. Badboroky, a twisted, cynical denizen of Boroky’s unconscious. The single AI (Animal Intelligence) witnesses his most murderous moments and the general taboo pleasures of our more destructive impulses. It also contrasts them in the bridge with the abject loneliness and loss that results from yielding to those impulses. Listener discretion is advised as the Badboroky within you may begin to cackle. also here's a link to my last single: https://youtu.be/Uc-NfRiwSCU?si=z5EnSdKkL0ryEDKX Kisses! xx

Hey! It’s slo-mo day! Slo-motion (50%) and fast-forward (160%) versions of my single DYHAC (Do You Have A Car?), as well as the original version, are available for free on Bandcamp for one week only! You just need to give your email.  I’m a huge fan of these different-speed versions.  The fast one in particular tickles the heck out of me. Captions:

Slo-mo chorus snippet - the ff and slo-mo versions of the full video are on yt too.  Lots of fun. 2 - 6. dope freeze-frames: on of me being thrown around by a jibber, one of Hunker Munker pointing at an upside down car on a pole, one of Badboroky lighting a paper doll on fire, with a most zealous expression on his face, one of a swordfish who has just written ‘there is hope’ on a wall, and then another of the same image with a big red X across it.

Mister Soot I have never heard about the rat park :0 care to regale me?

Okay so, a lot of the social narrative and understanding that we have about addiction is outdated and wrong. It's judgemental and moralistic and mostly comes from a series of experiments that were done earlier in the 20th century. In particular, the one everyone remembers is the rats.

You get a rat and you put it in a cage, and you give it two water bottles: One is plain water, and the other is water laced with cocaine. And if you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drug water and will almost always kill itself quite quickly because all it's really doing is drinking cocaine water. They become addicted and die. And everyone said, "Whelp this experiment was a success. That's how addiction works. Great job everybody. Hit the showers!"

Then in the ’70s, this guy called Professor Bruce Alexander comes along and he looks at this experiment and he's like, "Um, your experiment is fucking stupid and we need to do it again and super different." Cause he points out, right, that the cage is empty.

So like, yeah of course the rat is going to go for the cocaine water. There's literally nothing else in its cage. It’s got nothing to do but drugs! So Professor Alexander, he builds this huge cage that he calls “Rat Park,” and the tagline for that park is "Heaven for rats." They’ve got loads of cheese, they’ve got loads of colored balls, they’ve got loads of tunnels, they've got loads of blankets, and loads of paper to shred with their little rat hands, and they've got loads of yummy nutritious food, and they’ve got loads of friends. No more lonely rat all by itself with nothing to do but cocaine in a cold, small, empty cage.

And of course, they’ve got both the water bottles. The normal water and the drugged water.

And here's the thing! In Rat Park, the rats don’t like the drugged water. They almost never use it. And none of them ever use it compulsively. None of them ever overdose. You go from almost 100% overdose to zero.

Because addiction isn't simple. Addiction is tricky, and complicated, but all our current research shows that it is primarily motivated and perpetuated by isolation and the need for escapism. Not moral failings. Not weakness. Not even, at it's very core, chemical imbalance.

It's about your network. It's about your life. It's about making your own Rat Park.

Rats need friends. And people do to.

And that's how you fight addiction.

Beautiful words! My forthcoming album Rat Park is all about this 🥰<:B~ <- that's supposed to be a rat

Here we have a bunch of unedited shots that didn’t make the final cut for promo shots. Really channelling my inner malicious lunatic, aka BadBoroky, aka Sir Hideous Playful. Holding a papier maché skunk, which will remain a mystery for some months.

Also a freeze-frame from the lyric visualiser, which is up now, everywhere, even on insta, just go to my previous post.

AND there are the two original unedited shots that I mixed together to make the cover art!

And at the end there’s a vid of me presumably working on DYHAC in a nice red cardigan. I like red. I don’t remember what I was doing and the sound is strange. Lots of love xx
