the land is rich and fertile. we searched for security. we were the tether that held each other grounded. this was how we made it through the tough times.
there were many decades when it was cold and dry. there was very little life. there was very little food. it was a savage, atavistic land. it threatened to break us apart and render our bones to dust. when we lost the will to keep going sometimes, we wished for this to happen. and we cursed ourselves for wishing such a thing. but it did not happen. and we wore our guilt for nothing.
the land is rich and fertile. quiet down and you can hear the beat of our hearts. that is the rhythm of our love… secure, and timeless.
lyrics
peace in the valley
Neanderthals
gonna sleep in fields
with the animals
gonna make love to you
under the stars
gonna evolution
Neanderthal
gonna rule
‘til the end of time
this is my home
this earth is mine
you’re gonna see me
in history books
i’m the one
who’s really good-lookin’
peace in the forest
with my hunting band
i’m gonna catch you dinner
with my two bare hands
gonna live like a king
ruling them all
peace in the country
Neanderthal
peace in the night
while the fires burn
i pass to you
all I learned
how shall we
each other enthrall?
peace in our arms
Neanderthal
peace in the valley
Neanderthals
gonna sleep in fields
with the animals
gonna make love to you
under the stars
gonna evolution
Neanderthal

A haunting, beautiful, autobiographical record that uses samples of old gospel records to wrestle with faith and unbelief. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2021
A mind-melter of a record, writes hallucinogenic songs that are harrowing one moment, breathtakingly beautiful the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
