about

so many words. jeez.

lyrics

We sit across the room
in deepest water pressure
staring back through miles of history
that we tried to navigate

we made the map in a classroom
cut each clue in tiny chairs with giant scissors
threw them like bones
upon a square of asphalt

we received images of our deaths
wandering toward the corners
holding on to hope in barren lands
until the final moment

and then we opened our eyes
and we denied that we were dreaming
it all felt so close to home
resigned to drowning out at sea

I swam by reefs, I ran through
forests fed on bones and ashes
And skies denied of stars
Always chasing opportunities
For answers quicker and more empty
Than our hearts right now
Let someone get joy
Out of their watching every
Stumbled drunken step towards, or away.
Escorted by devils on both shoulders
Tell me just another mile
Every mile that I go

Many pretty and intense songs. Clawhammer banjo and voice surrounded by various odds and ends. I recorded a wee bit of accordion on a cassette they released in 2011. An Historic

Carl is a great colleague and I have performed with him several times. This is him providing ridiculously complex data to a MIDI controlled pipe organ. Great Nancarrow's Ghost! An Historic

I can't even begin to relate how much of a crush I have on this band. Compositions by Toby Driver, lots of aggressive, balanced and lush music in turn. So, so sweet. An Historic
