Awesome, as always. I think you guys are RPM's hidden gem. Have you ever listened to For Stars? They're one of my favorite (though now defunct) bands. Your sound is less hyper and it reminds me of their best stuff.
Love the Buster Keaton reference!
This started sounding quite Nick Caveish and at the same time I wanted to do something with Joe Meek; so it's a murderballad-variation on Johnny Remember me. There's stylophone and theremin in there. The theremin is quite effective at some points…
turning point #1
lyrics:
It was spring time, or their time depending on which one you asked
how much it mattered to two birds flying away from the cold.
She sang and he'd swing, together a flight all their own on wings she swore were made…
it is a short experiment in automatic music creation. a choice is made to use a major pentatonic scale. this happy creature is born. he is young, and small. however he has big feet. it is comical music? it makes you smile?
it is bigger version…
04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb.
Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…
02 – Falling Down Again. Written 17th/18th Feb. Recorded 17th/18th/19th Feb.
A slightly schizophrenic pop song, with a vocal section that also betrays me wanting to be a Beach Boy. Worryingly there is actually a red sticky trickle that seeps…
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…
no this is brand new. actually a one take vocal. it does contain some of the same lirics as fertility dance. did you know that you can click on the about tap to get the lyrics?. nice to see you listening much appreciated

three striped gum
falls out of an old dresser drawer
fills my head with memories from before
causes me to close the door
i feel rotten to the core
three striped gum
falls out of my pocket in the rain
what would have happened if i played…
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
i saw the curtains changing color
i watched the sun room come alive
i have been sitting in this rocker
wondering when you might arrive
i am hoping for redemption
cant stand the way i feel
i know it is only passing through me
rivers flood…

More duets, please (with cursing)!
Awesome... sounds like a song Harry Nilsson would have loved to record. "If there's one thing I know, I'm young and you're old" -wonderful!
Groovy... like crossing Ennio Morricone with Bud Shank!
You're killing me - wonderful vocals/lyrics... like a lo-fi Laura Nyro!
Great - reminiscent of the songs Lou Reed used to write for Mo Tucker to sing (no higher compliment)!
Just beautiful - says so much using so little. Again, great lyrics!
