Just for one moment the words said it all
Laid out before us on a page in a hall
I feel we're intruding, that this grief just is not mine
But I just wanted to say that you have touched me inside
As the walls close in I see an open well before me
The written word, all we came to find
So now we're here at last on an afternoon in May
In the world outside this room it's just another sunny day
And this atmosphere, it cuts me in two
I'd like to touch the paper but the glass won't let me through
And this is all we came to find
And now all I can see, an open well before me
The written word, all we came to find
And if the walls come down on me
Down an endless hole I'm falling
To see at last, all we came to find
give me a wish, a wish for this
a non-violent planet
a second wish in case I miss
a non-violent planet
three wishes...I'll nail it home now
a non-violent planet
a non-violent planet
a non-violent planet
a non-violent planet
god a non-violent planet
god a non-violent planet
god a non-violent planet
god a non-violent planet
god...
Bright light come in through my life
and I will think about you
White light running around my mind
show me what it's all about
Upside down, I find myself upside down in the world of the lost and found
while the music turns me round
Cross over into this world as long as you can stay
In the confusion we reign
So take it for your own
Come on, come on
See the blind man, ask the question...when you look what do you see?
but i can't explain what is so plain to me
He turns inside out, he finds himself inside out and he starts to look around
he's seeing things like he's never seen before
Cross over into this world as long as you can stay
In the confusion we reign
So take it for your own
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Discovered the fire and got burnt
Invented the wheel and got carried away
Harnessed the lightning, it just got too frightening...wild never meant to be tame
Stared at the sun, lost my sight
Trying to make what's wrong from right
Gave up, gave in to despair
There's just too many messed up people wandering out there
out there
out there
out there

Their second album and along with "Hex" another masterpiece, music of extremes...dark, soft, huge, angular; a trip of a record, one to listen to alone on a big set of floor standers..just magnificent. Procession
Chantal's solo debut is a thing of rare beauty, her songs are a world into themselves, her gentle guitar is augmented by fellow creators including Nils Frahm, who adds magic piano touches...perfect. Procession
A great place to start...all of their second period ep's gathered into one album, wildly inventive and with no musical stone unturned; then go backwards or forwards from this point...it's all awesome. Procession
As their name implies, The Ascent of Everest make big, expansive music, weaving in elements of post-rock, classical music, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 12, 2019
Dynamic, textural shoegaze from Austria that captures the big skies, saturated colors, and dazzling landscapes of the Alps. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 9, 2019
There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
