One of the lesser known side projects of Tool and A Perfect Circle singer Maynard James Keenan, Puscifer is a weird and engaging listening experience, featuring deep bassy vocals, minimalistic yet advanced soundscapes, a hefty dose of rock influences paired with modern synth-work, solid steady rhythms and profound immersion.
The album is diverse in its tracks, but one of them has always stood out to me for its memorability and subject matter expressed, as well as for its unique and innovative style.
Where some may call the song a new age algamation of "pseudoscientific notions" to me it could be described as the lyrical format of what people on the psychedelic scene embark on with every festival circuit - bringing human existence back to a more communal and spiritual way of being that is thoroughly connected to the Earth, their inner wisdom and the rich simple basics of life in an era where we are slowly remembering who we are and what our connection to the cosmos is. And that the old empire is outdated and can be let go of.
The song speaks volumes in word and tone and in case you have never heard about Puscifer, Indigo Children is one of the more captivating tracks that underscores Keenan's diverse ways of approaching music in an ever so varying manner with aspiring connotations for those who have lived such a rooted existence like the generation of people he describes in the track.
If you have ever visited rainbow gathering,a spiritual community in nature or anything to that effect, you will feel right at home immediately... despite the odd album title and artwork^^

Come check out the lyrics:
Tore the digital down
Dawned are the age of the innocent ones
The indigo children
The indigo children come
When the indigo children come
E.M.P. from the mother and son
Tore the digital down
Dawned are the age of the innocent ones
The indigo children
Analog time piece, sky wide
Sync to the ticker inside
Move to the rhythm of the moon and tide
The indigo children
Sirius, Venus and the lunar child
Giggle and the flames grow higher
Dance in a circle around a central fire
The indigo children
When the indigo children come
The indigo children
E.M.P. from the mother and son
Tore the digital down
Dawned are the age of the innocent ones
The indigo children
Analog time piece, sky wide
Sync to the ticker inside
Move to the rhythm of the moon and tide
The indigo children
Sirius, Venus and the lunar child
(Let your light open wide)
Giggle and the flames grow higher
Dance in a circle around a central fire
(Dance and laugh and love a central fire)
The indigo children
Wine, song, food and fire
(Wine, song, food and fire)
Clothes, shelter and seed
No more need for the old empire
(Fare thee well to the empire)
The indigo children
Sirius, Venus and the lunar child
Giggle and the flames grow higher
Dance in a circle around a central fire
The indigo children
Wine, song, food and fire
(Wine, song, food and fire)
Clothes, shelter and seed
No more need for the old empire
(Fare thee well to the empire)
The indigo children
When the indigo children come
The indigo children
Sirius, Venus and the lunar child
Giggle and the flames grow higher
Dance in a circle around a central fire
(Dance and laugh and love a central fire)
The indigo children come
Wine, song, food and fire
(Wine, song, food and fire)
Clothes, shelter and seed
No more need for the old empire
(Fare thee well to the empire)
The indigo children come
The indigo children come
When the indigo children come"
