lyrics
Jacob:
How you sleep at night
With the wolf outside
When the moon rises
You're always on my mind
I cry myself to sleep
Safe up in my tree
Wondering why you died
Why that wasn't me
You deserved a place
Upon the world stage
Now the world's gone
As far as I can see
How you sleep at night
Safely in my dreams
I keep your memory
Like a deity
I worship you each day
The Crakers come to pray
They don't know the truth
I'm responsible
They sing pretty songs
To honour all that's gone
And It just makes it worse
Reminds me of the wrong I done
I can't bring you back
After my attack
I shut that door
I'm so terrible
Jesse:
in the morning, afternoon, in the dark and light
with it howling at the moon, whetting bark and bite
all is cloaked except the sun's reflection on its face
I'm fixated, frustrated, I've gone to waste
No succor for a sucker like a sinner, like
No kidding, so much hidden out in plain sight
One of many, but the many wasn't on my mind
You & I was the only ones ever alive
With your perfect face & your unearthly grace
Bow down, so crown, pageant the pain away
So long & thanks for all the dirt & shit you held
There's certain risks when you urinate in wishing wells
In the dawn, in the gloaming, in the twilight
Nothing outside of my perception, mm just right
Which I filter through my wishes and my hindsight
Which I killed and which I shill for in this dying light
In public, in private, in two different ways
Can't let them see the way I crumble when they've gone away
But what's the use? I mean what else am I supposed to do?
It's unconscionable, all my debts are overdue
Not as pretty as this one, no way
All the cities and civilizations blown away
Everything happens to me, it's like I'm cursed
I'm obsessing on the question of my own worth

Dizzying psychedelic songs that feel like they're being played at the bottom of a deep canyon, drenched in reverb & echo. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 11, 2022
Combining sweeping pastorals with quirky synths and ambient textures, the UK producer's latest sets a new high bar for folktronica. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 7, 2023
A mind-melter of a record, writes hallucinogenic songs that are harrowing one moment, breathtakingly beautiful the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
