about
- DEEP DARK HEART -
Blinded by inner demons a mute couple attempt to feel what one each feel, but this comes with a price and begins to pull them from underneath... and slowly takes seed.
"There is something quite beautiful about their songs, each one is a little masterpiece with a sincerity and a heartfelt message " - Welsh Connections, Wales, UK — Michael Kennedy
"With a style constantly shifting, moving between influences like another songwriter might move between chords. The songs are transcendental, ephemeral, electronic numbers reminiscent of a mash-up of Radiohead and Neil Young; personal, full of heartfelt angst whilst being beautifully, tenderly, performed" - The Swansea Fringe Festival, Wales, UK — Joe Bayliss
"A complex and textured journey that delves deep into the human condition, bringing to light heartfelt musings" - Broken 8 Records, Sydney, Australia — Tom Bedward

lyrics
Is it in my head?
Or is it in my heart?
Questions go unanswered through the tether of your bark
In the background I see trees
Its shade and light so deep
But in the foreground teasing me is life no longer ceased
And it's blossoming with ease
It's colourless to me
This deep dark heart
Can you see what I see?
Can you feel the breeze?
Antlers aloft through trees so green, destroys serenity
It cuts diagonally and splits this frame in three
A Magritte view of symmetry torments and comforts me
It pulls from underneath
It's slowly taking seed
In this deep dark heart
This deep dark heart
So in control
A hurricane inside
Layers underneath
A perfect guide
Show me how it feels to sleep and simply breathe
To escape into the dreams, conquer duplicity
It's lucid and it's sealed with cattle eyes surreal
A cloud across a moonlit scene slices so deeply
It's opening to bleed
And fallen endlessly
Into the deep dark heart
Is it in my head?
Or is it in my heart?
Or is it in my heart?
Questions go unanswered through the tether of your bark
In the background I see trees
Its shade and light so deep
But in the foreground teasing me is life no longer ceased
And it's blossoming with ease
It's colourless to me
This deep dark heart
Can you see what I see?
Can you feel the breeze?
Antlers aloft through trees so green, destroys serenity
It cuts diagonally and splits this frame in three
A Magritte view of symmetry torments and comforts me
It pulls from underneath
It's slowly taking seed
In this deep dark heart
This deep dark heart
So in control
A hurricane inside
Layers underneath
A perfect guide
Show me how it feels to sleep and simply breathe
To escape into the dreams, conquer duplicity
It's lucid and it's sealed with cattle eyes surreal
A cloud across a moonlit scene slices so deeply
It's opening to bleed
And fallen endlessly
Into the deep dark heart
Is it in my head?
Or is it in my heart?

Sky Diving Penguins
by Sky Diving PenguinsThe 4th consecutive listen, on first release, made me equal part happy/sad... it's a stunning LP, especially "Trippin #9"; this is what Lennon may have been doing if he were alive today. I'm in love.

The Great Swells That Carry Us Will Pull Us Under
by AARONSONIt swims, and swirls. Like a lovely combination of Sigur Ros and Mogwai. Hugely cinematic and atmospheric, it's just a dream to hear., and see now that it's on luscious ocean blue vinyl!
