"Paper Cut" kicks things off with a driving guitar riff. A hit of the snare drum opens the verse with an airy brilliance. "You're always expected. You don't go too deep." Right from the start, it isn't hard to deduce that these words aren't about any mere skin abrasion. This is a big ol' slice of life. If something breaks the surface, it will leave a lasting mark.

"I wrote the songs about things happening in my life and to those around me. They all seemed to be eerily connected to this greater existential issue."

​

The relevance of this statement strengthens with each passing minute spent under quarantine. "Think we've got it all figured out as it breaks down." Peaks and valleys, Mike speaks candidly about observations. 

​

The forlorn slide guitar weaves between the contemplative lyrics of "Break Down." This slow grooving analysis is presented with a southern spice that comes from a place a little closer to the Mason-Dixon line. 

​

The Human Condition EP finishes with bright acoustics and rich harmonies. "After a While" is a humanizing folk tune. Mike blends his vocal register into an uplifting warning while displaying guitar and piano work that would even make David Crosby tap a foot.

Fuller continues to work tirelessly in his Brooklyn bunker.  Admirably, he has found his silver lining.
