All songs written & produced between August 2 - September 23, 2024. Released on cassette via Negative Wingspan.

This EP is a collection of esoteric artifacts and alien relics from the Sallow Moth universe.

Relic of Deceptiva:
A miniature gravestone in the shape of a moth. A chamber for Tyria, queen of the defected mutant faction known as the Deceptiva. She was shrunken down to the size of a regular moth, rendered harmless and soulless. She floats through the chaos of space, eventually landing on Thryl-3M, a purple moon with soul-regenerative qualities.

Gutscape Navigator:
A living artifact insect that can be digested or implanted into one's digestive system. It can detect illnesses and viruses and eliminate them or manifest them, depending on motive.

Noctai Carapace:
Armor created by Noctai, a dark sorcerer and nightmare moth entity. It is bestowed with the power of flight and wards off nature or druid-based magic. It creates small fungal insects with poisonous attributes.

Return From Planar Chaos:
Through impulsive science and magic by the Thryl-3M's inhabitants, Tyria slowly reforms inside of a vial. She gains an enlightened consciousness, yet retains her innate desire to mutate other living beings.
