Not Exclusive! Karnak is a Place on Earth

We were hanging out with the Sacred Bones guys the other day, getting some mixtape shit for your pleasure, (up later today music fans,) and they kept trying to feed us some bullshit about a magical waterpark in the middle of nowhere, Germany, that looked like a big snow-covered mound from the outside.

We were like, "Nice try, liars, but we've read Watchmen too. Think we don't recognise the stately pleasure dome of Karnak when we hear it?" Then Caleb sent us this video of their approach to Tropical Islands and we realised we'd let ourselves be tripped up by our own nerdy cynicism. We're sorry we doubted you, Tropical Islands. You too, Sacred Bonesers.

Caleb: We were driving along and it's the middle of winter in Germany, bleak as fuck. We saw these signs that said "Tropical Island" with palm trees. Once we saw that we were right there we turned and we're driving down some crazy road and out of the distance comes this giant dome. There's this giant zeppelin hangar in the middle of a field of snow. It looked like the bad guy's lair in a Bond film or something from Lost. We went in through the back and didn't see any signs or ways to get in. So we peeked in through a window in the back and it's a water park. There's all these families and a fake sky and beaches and sky divers and stuff. It were beautiful.

Later on someone in the office tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Don't you remember the story we did on Tropical Islands about a year ago?"
