Complacency

The world is easily more connected now, at this moment, than it ever has been before in the history of humankind. We can connect with one another as effortlessly as a few sliding motions of fingers on our smart-phones, or the tapping of keys on a computer, awash in a mesmeric glow of attention and information. But this ease of connection requires a certain insulation, a particular removal from the tangible world and a retreat into the intangible world through a device, through a screen, through the looking glass you might even say. What can you do, when you find yourself removed from the world because of your connection to the world? The Pockets are writing a song all about it. Stay tuned. -Nate Bellon(bass)
