This Ascension is a gothic/ethereal band from Santa Barbara, Southern California that formed in 1988. They have released four albums on their own label Tess Records from 1989 to 1999.
This Ascension toured the United States three times and the west coast prolifically, sharing the stage with bands including Clan of Xymox, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Chris Isaak, The Wolfgang Press and Pixies.
After Tess Records collapsed, the band signed to Projekt Records in 2001. Their back catalogue was re-released and the band split soon afterwards. The group re-formed with bassist Cindy Coulter for several shows in 2004 and announced plans to write and record new material in 2013.
Vocalist Dru has gone on to sing for the neo-classical project Mirabilis as well as ambient/electronic act Falling You. Former Bassist Charlie re-joined his former band Nerf Herder and guitarist Kevin Serra runs the music review site Kevchino. Serra records music for a singles project with guest vocalists under the name Cloud Seeding. The first single "Ink Jar/Unquestioning" features Boston's Marissa Nadler.
Your eyes, they made lies true.
Say anything and I would believe you.
But there were demons, maybe more than a few, so what
could we do?
Because in my life there was only asbestos, and Raymond
Williams, you always took the best ones.
Now, like failed pedestrian dreams, that's how it seems
to me.
Once again, back out on the highway.
Watch the traffic-you know it's a Friday.
And all the seats-belts in all the vans won't change your
plans.
You can get by on a few sins,
and you can try to make a horse win once,
but you can't put back together what you sever.
The rain comes down and turns your shine back to rust.
Does that mean that you have to sever us?
Someday some shit will come around
and reverse the earth,
turn your flesh back to dust.
