THE SOAP ONE IS

Listen:

Beam Zillion is the musical project of Twillian Ün Pomp, a southern New Mexico raised Washington, D.C. based artist who uses the folklore and history of the desert (The 1947 Roswell Incident, The Trinity test on the outskirts of his hometown, cattle mutilation attributed to aliens, Atari's burial of the E.T. The Extraterrestrial game cartridge in 1983, and on and on..) as direct inspiration for his musical concepts, lyrical themes, and multidimensional instrumentation.
