1.
Air the Sky 04:37
lucky with wings each other through the air the sky the blue easy focus an easy rut are they loving or fighting or what bars against the hills music by the stills wondering which part is you here in this space we're moving through
2.
Cities 04:12
when we let the cities out they disappeared and we were lost to wander through the browning fields with memories of the deafening cars but then they came back one by one lonesome for the rocks beneath that fit to them and made them ring precise the sound and deafening the time between was glorified by sons of sons the wondering they named the thing nostalgic for the slowing down of everything now traffic pulls us through the streets into the centre of the song and we agreed we understood they've welcomed us to sing along
3.
Event 04:13
there well i told you what i think and i'm not sure that it really matters where we floated past the brink and i'm not sure that it really matters see well that's how they did their hair seconds from the event horizon we we happened to be there to snap their picture for posterity yeah we can still believe they'll switch off the gravity and we can go floating out of here yeah we can still believe they'll switch off the gravity and we can go waltzing out of here
4.
Houses 04:58
god threw a handful of houses on a hill and we buried them with our love covered them with silt and we dug them up this morning we got drunk up on their roofs and we fell into a sleep and let the centuries soak through you said maybe one day this summer we could fly out to the ocean have a picnic on the sand take lots of pictures of the jetsam and everything everything will just sort of fall into place again mountains coming down in our eyes again everything will just sort of fall let's have a round for the ages and the places they once stood this one's for the sleeping may they dream of some place good and here's a bird to sing for you here's a couch to sleep here's a chair to drift in when you think of empty streets and maybe one day this summer or any more to come we can swap similar ideas and laugh that we have won when everything everything will just sort of fall into place again mountains coming down in our eyes again everything will just sort of fall
5.
Hearts 06:04
violence tumbled past we smoked and watched and afterwards we laughed but not really at that our hearts were somewhere else the words they all got blurred it's like we never heard it's like we never heard it's like we never heard it said before

about

These songs were recorded live off the floor. The band played together in studio for a single week following a ten year hiatus. Some songs have been kicking around for decades, some for years, some for months, and one came about in studio. They are nostalgic and supersonic.
