Alex Alexander This release is such a great little nugget. It's reminiscent of the Books for me. I love the blend of subtle complementary textures. The rhythms all feel nice, and I really like the tonality/character/phrasing of the vocals. This music is highly unique and distinctly enjoyable. I also love the little comic that comes with the download--perfect companion to the music! Favorite track: Golden Gong.

1.
Golden Gong 04:18
Run and hide Wait it out Breaking bold to the East Charted order, bending trees Come bow, come all A new bead to lead Expand and control Sleeping soundly building heat Warm stone, butchers block Seared rock for the meat Run and hide Rawhide
2.
Heat Noon 03:22
In the heat of the noon When the dogs lap the dust from your spoon The walking man curses his shoes And the moon couldn't come too soon No shadow You slave to the clock, standing shocked Animals watch in the lee of the rocks They're taking stock No shadow No shadow
3.
Night Tide 04:31
The night keeps folding out Outside Most of all the point of this is due to repetition A coastal call to tread upon the wall we call tradition The picture only needs a pretty frame This picture only needs a pretty frame Outside The singing stars and my guitar need no melody to hold them So modestly here's my beating phrase that's bound to stay the same Let me be the blanket for a change Let me be the blanket for a change Outside

about

"The sun comes up, a resounding fire, the great golden gong of the dawn:"

"Of all the featherless beasts only man, chained by his self-imposed slavery to the clock, denies the elemental fire and proceeds as best he can about his business, suffering quietly, martyr to his madness. Much to learn."

"The old moon, like a worn and ancient coin, is still hanging in the west when I awake."

Edward Abbey "Desert Solitaire"
