lyrics
The first rays ask nothing When the gentle were dead these inherited their coats Now they gather in late autumn and quarrel over the air Demanding something for their shadows that are naked And silent and learning Our souls turn upon the soft spiral of a deeper shade of light Dreaming of an answer embedded in a question Shine yourself softly until the conclusion Wildflowers out of gas Stars scribble on our eyes the frosty sagas, The gleaming cantos of un-vanquished space I steal fistfuls of saltwater and palm them upward against a jewel-blue sky, Relinquishing them like doves just to watch them fall back to me like so many stars The honey-feast of the berries has stunned them; They believe in heaven Etch your predictions into my flesh This time the story will repeat in a different way I came here for a reason Perhaps there is a life here Of not being afraid of your own heart beating Do not be afraid of your own heart beating Look at very small things with your eyes & stay warm Nothing outside can cure you but everything’s outside In a dream you saw a way to survive and you were full of joy Decomposing into something lighter Strange prophecies in pomegranate ink To tremble like I had torn out the stitches in my jaw It is cold in the woods today, and the creek and sway of these old vines touched by this wind, like weeping And the same photos of the same moss and the same hawthorn and bramble vines and a hole never filled in search of beauty And November's dried remains speak without purpose, and ground becomes illusion where trees once stood, holes beneath the leaves Up over the next ridge, then another, and another I pull myself up to mount each horse to tumble down the other side The road would have been easier, but that's no place to bleed this light There is no getting lost; I know where the river lies And runnels and rivulets that spill from nowhere to collapse the earth And the still pools they leave where life collects itself And the ever shifting stream with the vast memory of the universe coursing through it And I can neither cauterize nor bleed out this light Systems fail and time conspires with memory against us, but still she moves into the wind as God's dark binary pulls supersymmetry apart

about

Grand Rapids drone project, Dead Hawk, collaborate with George Bell to conjure a 20 minute dystopian descent into an electroacoustic wasteland. C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate while haunting piano guts are pattered in a distant void. The flip side features San Diego’s Those Darn Gnomes, a traveling collective of avant-hellscapers whose revolving door of cohorts only lends to their mystery and frenzy. Their piece is part harrowing prophecy of a post-apocalyptic nightmare, and part vulnerable squall enshrouded by clonking canisters and promulgated bellows from rusted horns. This is a document of what oozes between the cracks.
