about

NAKED OVER TIME

In time just what's the crime of getting around?
In time, getting by. Yodel-odel-lay-hee
Earthling and understood to stay on the ground.
Earth bound, cold and cloaked up.

Bad day for feeling grey, things fall to the ground.
Get up. Use your sound. Yodel-odel-lay-heeeeeee

Oh, we're fine.
Naked over time.
It's a long road chasing lines.
Oh, we're fine.
Naked over time.
On the wrong side watch for signs.

They think it's indecent.
But I say they ain't seent it.
Freed the rain and it just came raining back.
It's a warm storm, what's the crime?

Oh, Rewind.
Naked all the time,
In the long run, oh divine!

MAKES IT NOT

Trying to tear at an unerring stillness
proved to be a lot.
Picking it up when it should have been heavy
could have been the plot.
But the weight of the pen as it stood on the page
Makes it not.
It not...
It not...

Call it attire, then.
Call it home.
Now that we're tired, then,
We think it's over but the thing won't go.

Looking around for what we remember;
Nothing but a thought.
Lifting the hand from where we had left it;
Nothing but a dot.
But the weight of the arm as it fails to engage
Makes it not.
It not...

So light,
A constellation,
A confirmation that the time has passed.
Alright,
We can't believe it.
It seems a burden that nothing will last.

From the beginning they set out an ending
Lest they forgot.
Hopeful and happy and coming to terms
Could have been the plot.
But the weight of his hand as he turned him around
Makes it not.
It not...
Makes it not...

CLOCK'M BY

Clock'm by colored pins.
Clock'm by colored pins.
And I swear if he wins
I'll forfeit what's left there is.

Head start for beginners,
Long way to the win.
Long coats for the winters,
Spring forth to begin again.

Clock'm by colored pins.
Clock'm by colored pins.
And I swear if he wins
I'll forfeit what's left there is.

Comfy, Nana's foyer.
Corn crakes on the eave.
They say that the winners
Always begin again.

Clock'm by colored pins.
Clock'm by colored pins.
And I swear if he wins
I'll forfeit what's left there is.

WAY OUT WEST

One day when there's a beacon,
Delta's dry but I'm leakin',
Crossed the dirt but the dirt just gets inside.
It's a long stroll, take your time.

Gave it a hard sit then
Gave it our best.
Out where the stars set...
We thought we'd get there but it's way out west.

One day when there's a lighthouse,
Ocean's wet but I'm dried out
Came ashore and it shore did take a toll.
It's a long swim, what's the prize?

Gave it a hard sit then
Gave it our best.
Out where the stars set...
We thought we'd get there but it's way out west.

Two Squirrels Fighting Each Other at the End of the World

We love the sample based structures, the on-a-dime shifts, the unlikely croons. All of their albums are beautiful, this is the latest. Pittsburgh experimental is worth a good dumpster dive! cave bat

Waves
by Husmo HAV

Norwegian jazz rules the divine. This 2021 album is chock full of melody, an intangible pining laced with exuberant joy, and those synths are just inspired. cave bat
