lyrics

All of the gardens I ever tended
No matter how splendid, I moved on
I’ll never know the earth again under my feet no,
nor plant a seed nor watch it grow

I fell in to a well to the bottom of the sea
I gave in to the well
Built a tower of rivers

All of the ceilings that I ever painted have somehow been tainted in my mind
And all of the curtains I made out of velvet
They stand in the pulpit of time

Where was my God when he put out his cigarette on my arm when I was small
I’ll never take a train again or pick up a paper
Or see a skyscraper
Or go to the mall

I fell in to a well to the bottom of the sea
I gave in to the well
Built a tower of rivers

I die, I die but my body keeps living
I die, I die but my body keeps giving
I’ll never leave my room again unless you drag me

Amazing. Hushed but dark, a cold, bright spark on a moonless night. Both restrained and deeper than it seems at first. mstol

LAMINATE PET ANIMAL
by SNOWMINE

This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal → Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 28, 2011

if no one else cares, why should I care?
by Good Good Blood

Pairing lo-fi indie rock with silvery folk instrumentation, the self-described "bedroom pop wizard" casts a cozy, poignant spell. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2024
