about

The Willow Tree. A rocker not too far from the tree(s) of Cure, Killing Joke, maybe some Yes meets Crimson in Kashmir. A song about graveyards, death and the losing and finding of one’s past in green fields.
XYZ. A drug song of observation and destruction. Chord progressions oscillate up and down to an early 8Os bop. This song interesting contains no true guitars.
Exposure. The aperture doesn’t lie, be careful what’s in the picture. A trippy groove of epic proportions sandwiched by a solemn, churchlike confessional. Piercing steel guitar and penetrating angles fill the mid section like knives in the belly.
Branches Sway. A highly personal song regarding family problems and matters. A hypnotic monotone rhythm captures the minory chords in a classic manner, only to be destroyed by an unforeseeable middle 8.
The Station Song. All aboard, dance along your garmonbozia like the pied piper and laser beam your worries to another universe. Another failed attempt at dub rock (like Spirit Glass), this one might fall short of the Clash but brings plenty of Funeral and Faith to the Party.
