lyrics

Long moonless night long lonely night what went wrong tonight I was wondering Long moonless night long empty night curtains drawn so tight I was wondering I don't mind the candle burns all night Undefined the shadows dance so close too close I suppose Almost letting go of the answers buried deep inside your losing faith in words and contact spirits locked outside so why the games in castles mazes games of love denied fear of mirrors image makes you cold and dead inside I never meant to plant you in my garden I never meant to plant you in my garden

about

This is the very first recording I made on a four track. The old style with a metallic silver sticker on the back of a cassette. It was not a Fostex but I cannot remember what kind it was. I borrowed it from Paul Ryer who was working with Kevin Chanel in The Soul Brothers. I recorded for a full month, writing at a frenetic pace. These were crude sung and played as I was really trying all this for the first time but there is a charm to it all. The songs are odd little ditties but there is some sprak in them.
The bonus tracks are all just sketches of things I dropped or songs that would emerge later on the next cassettes or, in dark Globe as a full operating band. They are not meant to amaze but are mere curiosities in their quaint construction and intent.

released April 28, 2014

All music was essentially played by Jon Gire. There was some drum machine programmed in as well.
