Prelude 04:19

Out of the sticks and stones, under my boot From where I stand, frozen and mute Everything I see, rhymes with you From the nickels and dimes The nickels and dimes. From where I stand, by the melting tree The icy winds, pour down on me Taking me on From my teeth, to my feet.
3.
My mind is empty, my hands are full My mind is empty, but my hands are full I resent your voice I resent your mind I resent your poise I resent your shine. My mind, my mind, my mind, is empty My mind is empty, but my hands are full
4.
I wanna live I wanna live I wanna live in the dust Dead needles, and grains of rust I wanna have I wanna have I wanna have nothing at all Dead leather, and ready to fall Burns and blisters Burns and blisters Burned, flesh and bone Dead center, and in your home I feed the falcons, piece by piece I’ll push the flowers, piece by piece Piece by piece
5.
Sun stained soft, skin of velvet Washed up on your shore, just for the hell of it With the strands of sand, strands of sand Patient as the wind, with her heart in her hand And I'm a passing ship, when you offer the ocean Lost in the swells, of love and devotion, love and devotion. With her fingernails, of mother of pearl And a golden glance, make you stare at the girl The sun sets for me, as it rises for you Sometimes beginnings hide behind masks of blue Blues for the Blonde I'm a passing ship, when you offer the ocean Lost in the swells, of love and devotion, love and devotion.

Little by little, shot for shot Brain with two left hands, two left hands I thought Waltzing down the hall, time and time again Black ink and shoes, help me pretend Cup of tea, won't you smile at me? Tripped up, and hitched up, is that personhood I see? Waltzing down the hall, time and time again Black ink and shoes, help me pretend
7.
Sitting here, with nothing to say A single vibration, by the end of the day Wool, and denim, and MDF wood Forty-four kids hiding under their hoods Twenty-two shades from one monochrome colour Eleven seconds left, till I get up and tell her
8.
Baby Blue 06:27
Starrs aligned, my heart transposed Blue eyed, brown eyed, black nosed From sand to city, to snow and back again That desert shepherd, won't see her again Baby Blue, Baby Blue That desert shepherd, and winter statue Baby Blue, Baby Blue That desert shepherd, turned me black and blue

Triptych 09:44

about

Unifying form and function and the dissolution of excess. The seamless integration of materials sourced within the setting, finding freedom within constraint, and designed for the masses. Usonian Automatic was recorded in a home built upon Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles, conceived and designed by his former student, James W. Strutt. Life in such a house exacts the instinct to harmonize its wood, brick, and geometry with the emanating electric sound of a speaker. Marrying the guitars to vinyl archived, cut, and laced into the available frequencies expresses our interpretation of the listening experience, revolving around the hearth. These are the Usonian fundamentals we have borrowed and built upon.
