Alex Feldman Feels like I'm there! Thanks for including the between-song banter. Underground River is a great groove, and the 'daughter suite' takes the cake by a mile! Favorite track: Soothing The Savage Beast > Ada > Pachinko.

Marry In The Flame 04:00
lyrics
buy track
the plains aflame with spring are purified to ash the same refrain we sing for every year that comes to pass when everything we are erased, sprays to the stars bouquets transmuted by the change that overcame. when you and i now gaze into each other's eyes the pain of transformation burns that inner fire brighter and everything we are expires through the heart and we both come apart to marry in the flame again.

Underground River 07:12
lyrics
buy track
you shimmering heat you morning dew i have to quiet so far down to hear you. your yearning voice, whispering carries away the louder sounds i'm used to. i'm a rounded stone in a trickling stream a glowing coal enwombed in ashy bedding. erode away my name and face my time and space to deeper places than i've given you. relax your gates my love awaits to fold into your quiet depths and patient truths to couple with the subtle grace that lives through you.

Golden Child > Indecision 05:09
lyrics
buy track
in the moment before acting lies a void where every future gleams, reflecting every other each potential a uniquely blooming world. in the space between two thoughts, when every other instant pours expanding now into infinity and every possibility unfurls how do you choose your next life? it may seem your heart has stopped between two beats; it's not the universe that ended but that you're already dead remembering everything at once and seeing past the limits of your head. in the seconds it will take to drain the oxygen from your exquisite brain a few mere seconds, all your life replays, a shimmering refrain. this is just the fireworks of dying neurons firing. you are slipping from the grip of that which kept you in the slow procession. now your feathered eyelids open to behold the whole terrain. how do you choose your next life? it may seem your heart has stopped between two beats; it's not the universe that ended but that you're already dead remembering everything at once and seeing past the limits of your head.

Autonomous Zone 04:24
lyrics
buy track
you never said that it could be replaced. i never knew that we could be erased and you're on your own. but if the sentence is a way to waste a living allegory in its place can we ever know? there is a vision of the samothrace they kept me here to help eliminate the autonomous. i never needed any hesitation everything is in its way the same as it ever was. and it's okay, it's okay. but when we never gave a hand a cage we very nearly set the walls aflame and it's all you know. i didn't think that it would be a phase that everybody kept their wings displayed and we all go home. and it's okay, it's okay.

Seeing Like A State 04:52
lyrics
buy track
i dug my nails in your arm no blood but they left a mark you came to no harm but i still have the scars. you hit me first but complained and landed me in suspension because illegible pains rarely merit attention. and now the lessons endure although the song doesn't change. you're measured or you're ignored an indefensible claim. and everyone in between invisible or unseen. we optimize our machines with only what we perceive. these metaphors hide crucial depth but it's our lot to live with it our egregores cannot protect the small and large they can't detect when they're seeing like a state. they say they squeaky wheel's greased campaigns get people released but when they're no one around then that tree don't hit the ground and history's written by victors and evidence is suppressed unless it registers richters expect it lost like the rest. the integers rule common math but reals are far the larger set your algebra cannot contain the novelty we generate when you're seeing like a state.

Whispering At Night 06:16
lyrics

you never came when I called. you never talked to the doll. you never saw me at all. i fated both of us hastily. you knew the taste, we'd never go missing. but all i see is eyes and why. i only see the sky for flies and light. you only recognize. i said let's play chess. you said you digress. we met with a wall. i wasn't nine at the time. you were so fine and right with it all. but all we need is wine and i will very likely write the sigh. i heard you whispering at night.

Life Finds A Way 03:51
lyrics
buy track
in the pouring rain from forgotten ages switching given sexes through electric fences long extinct but here smarter than we feared dodging categories towering four stories. life breaks free. life expands to new territories. painfully, even dangerously, but life finds a way. climbing out of minds into books and films and toys and rides shaping generations realer than imagination fiction true as fact chicken teeth are back so be careful what you wish for hope you wanna die by dinosaur. life breaks free. life expands to new territories. painfully, even dangerously, but life finds a way.

about

My third concert for The House of Eternal Return. Each has been more fun than the last! Big thanks to Meow Wolf and to the amazing headliners DeVotchKa for providing me with such a wonderful stage and crowd.

45 minutes of percussive guitar- and live looping-infused songs about psychedelic romance, autonomy from state injustice, my ridiculous and wonderful daughter, and Jurassic World.
