about

'The Space Between' is dedicated to anyone living outside the gender binary. It demands that we have agency over our bodies and how we are undefinable. Vocalist and producer, margomool, wrote it whilst processing the frequent anger they experience as a gender non-conforming person in the cistem, later producing the track from live recordings of their band. The murky diminished sound world, driving groove and twisting vocals reflect both the euphoric and dysphoric realities of being trans*. Collaborating with tom theythem was a must. As two genderqueer vocalists in a mainly cis scene, having someone by your side who also pushes boundaries by just existing is a necessity. 'The Space Between' is an an accumulation of the many conversations, tears, laughter and screams they've had for trans* liberation. By no means is it the end of making work that aspires towards futures everybody can thrive in.

lyrics

No need to define me
I’m on my own thing
I shine through expectancy
Flying on my own ring
Circulating with my many moons
All this hate is cause you lost your own

No need to define me
I’m oriented
I find peaceful relief in the unconventional
Liminality
The space between
Reality is what you glean

Why you grieve for what your perceive?
I’m made of all that you are
Why you grieve for what your perceive?

Don’t bother getting hot under collar
Confused abusive and broody
Stupid you ruined your mood ‘cause I was not
No I wasn’t what you thought that I was
A problem a nuisance
The news would probably present a monster
But I am not
Too stuck up in your binary box to move
And be honest, don’t a look a thousands dollars in my halter neck?
You too rude and obnoxious
I feel sick to my stomach
I’m fucking sick of this nonsense
Man I get no respect

No need to define me
It’s not your business
Can tell where your thoughts have been
So may I distress
It’s not your business
So leave your questions in the dark
Obscuring your senses
Leaves you open to all you are

You are this liminality (between you & me I been breathing still)
The space between
This liminality
The Space between (the high court can't do shit)
This liminality
The Space between
Reality is what you glean
