Top Deck 04:05
I like the top deck when it’s empty When there’s only outside and me And every road a moment of possibility The movement can be most diverting The hairpin corners disconcerting I like to think that one day soon maybe you will ride with me I like the branches lashing into the top deck I like the moisture misting over the top deck I like the views and to rendezvous on the top deck The sunlight splits through trees and railings Producing stroboscopic patterns I let my mind surrender to suggestion in the shapes The music in my ears The music in my ears The music in my earphones is distorting

You’re the only thing I feel sure about And work can go to the wall You’re technicolor in a grey, grey universe You’re technicolor in a grey, grey universe In peace here as I lay with you The traffic’s distant and small It’s all I long for, to stay in your universe Yeah it’s all I long for, to stay in your universe

Shelved 03:53
Box it up and seal it down Take them all around Take them all around Faces meet you with a frown They don’t like that sound They say they don’t like that sound Strip the tables take it down Take it down right now You’ll take it all down now Nothing sold here in this town Never sing aloud They’ll never sing this aloud

The futures spring up everywhere Flattening failed thoroughfares and walks Patterns of shaft modernity There’s scaffolding around half the city We are building for aspiration We are building for luxury Do you see yourself in here in eighteen months’ time? Behind the most expensive windows devised With a full view of the roundabout Full view of some other flats Filtered light through triple glazing Filtered air through constant fans Hey ho! Ring out the bells boys Open the window and ring out the bells Hey wow! If you look in the paper Do you see what they say boys? We’re all going to hell! We are building for professions We are building for careers Can you see yourself round here in eighteen months’ time? Beneath the most expensive rents devised With a fully hiked-up overdraft Full disclosure, full extent Full quota of overworking Home eleven, fully spent Hey ho! Ring out the bells boys Open the window and ring out the bells Hey wow! If you look in the paper Do you see what they say boys? We’re all going to hell! Hey ho! Reclaim the city No don’t take it softly, but damn them to hell Hey kids! Drink up we’re leaving To replant a garden, Dig a fishpond as well

Have you ever driven past me on the motorway? Do you think about me during your busy day? Does he do anything that reminds you of me? Tell me please Hug me please See me please Tell me please Hug me please See me please, oh Have you ever passed me on the motorway In your car? Do you ever think about me wherever you are? Oh, tell me please Come on and squeeze me please Just see me please Just see me

Wiped 04:30
A person is now a memory And all that remains, fragmentary I try to recover the words and the order And piece them together anew The train passed your town and I wished I could stop The train passed your town Cold pressed regrets and might’ve beens Ghosts in the system, hauntology The words and the order are set now for ever I’m cut up, it’s all I can do The blues are out of phase The chroma dots a stain Deep etching in the frame Can’t clean it up again Last signal from the shore Can’t see you any more Can’t hear you any more No hope for any more No hope for any more

about

Our third EP for our Swedish friends at 23 Seconds, with eight tracks that saw the light in 2011. There’s a fair blend of psychedelic folk and scratchy electronica this time. Recording was shared between Korg 8-track, Tascam and Fostex 4-tracks and Goldwave, with final mixing in Jeskola Buzz. I’d like to direct you to a fine blog article about the making of this EP: keshco.blogspot.com/2012/01/futile-peace-offering-article.html
