about

The Crippled Beggars debut foray into guitar-based music. Featuring a new take on Lo-Fi recording, this statement on society as a whole is both shocking and awe-inspiring, sometimes both simultaneously. Thanks for listening!

(SPOILER SECTION)

Based around a storyboard by Adi and Oscar, The Parable of the Crippled Beggar centres on the eponymous and unnamed beggar.
Tracks 1- 3 make up 'Home', in which he walks into work, at which he is fired by his boss, the Obama trollface. He is then greeted by a protest, who want his company to Stop Doing It: he is flipped out of the window.
Tracks 4 - 6 make up 'Leave', in which his wife breaks up with him, and thus he seeks a new life in the army in order to work to live, being immediately deployed to the U.A.E. to grab some oil.
Tracks 7 - 10 make up 'Rebirth'; he loses his legs to bombs in the desert, but, homeless and without a chance to work, he is rescued by a travelling circus, which picks him up and takes him back to his home country.
Tracks 11 - 14 make up 'Return'. On coming home, the now-crippled beggar makes his way through CSGO scamming and codeine dealing right to the top of the food chain, embodying and transforming into the Obama trollface, coming full circle and delivering catharsis in returnal.
