For The Wonder
03:00

Oh I'm taking my time
I don't need hurry
Like the tortoise not the hare
In the race
Making no haste
The cat's in the sun
Stretching out into geologic time
The day is creaking
Like a rusty sign
In a Sergio Leone western
Oh for the wonder
Shifting like sand
Oh for the wonder
Gifted to me
And un-blindfolding slowly

My wildest dreams
Were not so wild at all
I came this far
By thinking small
Life doesn't seem
To be so unfair
When you're hoovering
In your underwear
A mystery
How to make wishes
When your fantasies
Are doing the dishes
Let's do the dishes
Let's do the dishes

All That It Is
03:45

|
Stick around today
Stick around tomorrow
Like glue we proceed
Without knowing what follows
Roll the question around your fingertips
Without answer
All that it is
Hit me
Hit me
Hit me with all you know
Hit me
Hit me
Hit me with all you know

Good Thing
03:55

Doing nothing, making toast
Chattering radio gathering dust
Sinking in the kitchen
Quietly observed ruination
Elsewhere in the world
I wish I could tell you how to make a good thing last
I wish I could tell you how to make a good thing last
In a different time signature
Occasionally we land on the one together
Like talking pieces of living puzzle
The answer lies beneath the rubble
I wish I could tell you how to make a good thing last
I wish I could tell you how to make a good thing last

Wishing For An Addiction
05:27
|
|||
|
Take a stand
Before this restless dance
Gets out of hand
Show me what I've been missing
While I've been wishing for an addiction
Without a sound
Somewhere below
A place no thinking goes
Show me what I've been missing
While I've been wishing for an addiction

On the air mattress of despair
I was slowly sinking
As you were rising up
And when I touched the floor
You rolled into me
On the air mattress of despair

Surrender Slowly
03:36
|

Drawing portraits
Of friends with cats
While you listen
To pink vinyl Hot Rats
What could've been
With a tip of the scales?
You could've been
A comet's tail
Now you're making peace with yourself
Before you can make peace with anyone else
Surrender slowly
Digging with your
Hands for fossils
As the wind tries
To un-tame your curls
What could've been
With a tip of the scales?
You could've been a comet's tail
Now you're making peace with yourself
Before you can make peace with anyone else
Surrender slowly

Here To Stay
03:45
|

|
Sunday morning wanderlust
Runs a finger through the dust
For a moment I can see
All the fleeting possibilities
But oh my heartache
Is here to stay
My hunger is such
A hunger for touch
Like a raindrop in the snow
Love comes and goes
But oh my heartache
Is here to stay

In Its Own Sweet Time
02:29

I need a piece of luck the size of an elephant
Providence of pachydermal magnitude
I need a piece of luck the size of an elephant
'Caus the pot that I piss in, now I cook in it too
I need to take a look to check on the elephant
It's in the room and no one's keen to mention it
I need to take a look at my luck, both good and bad
Do I make change or wait for something to arise
In its own sweet time?
I need a piece of luck the size of an elephant
I need an elephant to tell me what's required
I need an elephant to say, "Hey, do it this way"
I need an elephant to take me on a carpet ride
Magic, to arrive

Old Paint
02:42

Can you see the appeal
Of old paint peeling?
Can you see the way it reveals
All of the fragility?
Can you see the appeal in me?
Well, I'm rusting nicely.
I hope you find your way to me
While I'm dis-integrating
Without love, it's lonely

The Space Between Us

These gents are making beautiful music; fit for purpose for a soothing of the soul.

BSA Day / Better Luck Next Time
by Objections
supported by 6 fans who also own “Aspiration”
The bass line on BSA is hypnotic, if I was braver I'd play it backwards in search of the hidden message. Claire Adams' vocals add a shoegaze tone, reminiscent of Lush but with a grittier edge. Can't wait for more.

I was there, thanks for the amazing show 🖤

This is no frills heavy as hell noise rock that stomps and rolls methodically from strength to strength. A standout effort.

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.

This introspective debut by the Canadian indie artist encourages listeners to look inward.
