The Wheel

Records on shelves
Pictures in frames
Old furniture
And ticking clock on the wall
Turning on the wheel
Turning on the wheel
Turning on the wheel
Turning
Thoughts of you fill the room
As rag and bone fills the air
Like a call to prayer
Like craters on the moon
Space and more space
Nothing handed on a plate
Turning on the wheel
Turning on the wheel
Turning on the wheel
Turning
Turning on the wheel
Turning on the wheel
Turning on the wheel
Turning
Thoughts of you fly
Till the ink runs dry

One foot in front of the other
One breath after another
Look out for those
High highs low lows
High highs low lows
High highs low lows
High highs low lows
Look out for those
High highs low lows
High highs low lows

NYC Marathon
04:05

All eyes were always on you
All eyes were always on you
When you entered a room
And I would go under
Or I would go over
The Berlin Wall to be with you
If this were 1962
If I don't know what to do
When I don't know what to do
I clean the kitchen to get through
But if I know one thing
Yeah if I know one thing
New York City marathon
Is run and run and run and run
Run and run and run and run
I would like nothing more
I would like nothing more
Than to read a book on a train
But the knuckle-dragging surfer
Is splashing water
In my face
Like it's California
Not the North East
In spite of short comings
In spite of all these short comings
I comb my hair and brush my teeth
But if I know one thing
Yeah if I know one thing
New York City marathon
Is run and run and run and run
Run and run and run and run
Run and run, run and run

Dancing

When you feel like you're dancing
When you feel
Like you're dancing
Dancing
At the wrong wedding
Dancing oh oh
What is the purpose behind
All of this purposeful shuffling?
You might say that it's a parenthesis
Of infinitesimal brevity
Dancing oh oh
Dancing oh oh
Dancing oh oh
Dancing oh oh
A January Sunday alongside you
My uncomplaining companion
Did you see the raven
Flying upside down?
Squawking upside down
Dancing oh oh
Dancing oh oh
Dancing oh oh
Dancing oh oh

Practice Room
04:08
|

|
The drums sound like cardboard
And the vocals don't cut through
In the dark windowless squalor
Of the practice room
Broken strings, broken gear
Gaffer tape here and here and here and here
In this filthy womb of ringing ears
In this filthy room with ringing ears
Another filthy room and ringing ears
Play the song a hundred times
Till you can play it without thinking
Play the song another hundred times
Till you can play it when you've been drinking
Another band's setlist on the floor
Begin to question what you're doing this for
What does it mean, this DIY scene?
Another band's setlist on the floor
Begin to question what you're doing this for

Barely a Notion
01:37
|

|
When I took a shine to you
It was all that I could do
When you took a shine to me
It was all that I could see
And I'm not an island
Merely an ocean
No sooner awake
Then barely a notion

Humbled We Become
05:13
|
|||
|
Silence for you now
The setting sun
Silence for you now
The living's done
Doorbell disconnected
No answer expected
Humbled we become
The grieving's done
Did you ever leave your shoes
For the same old news?
Run while you can run
It's how the living's done
Silence for you now
The setting sun
Silence for you now
The living's done

Neil Turpin recommends:
The Space Between Us
by Lonski & Classen
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 15 fans who also own “Doorbell Disconnected”
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.

Pray Tell sounds amazing and I have no doubt the rest of the album will exceed my expectations. The fact that I can put on any of Stef's recordings -- records that I've heard hundreds of times before -- and still be shocked by how awesome they are speaks volumes. To be honest, if Stef started selling broken guitar strings on ebay I'd probably buy some just to know that I contributed something to ensure that he keeps making beautiful music.

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.
