lyrics

I am chameleon
made of language,
made of sound
drowning in the sea of voices
heaped in electric mound
for now I am blessed that I possess transparency
but I may become the knave who is a slave to pellucidity
and shout the mantra down
so none may ever sing
and rave against the wind
that howls louder than you can scream
I found a place to hide
turns out it’s in plain sight
but my voice ain’t loud enough
to rally anyone to fight.
I am chameleon
made of language,
made of sound
drown out electric voices
that are heaped in shouting mound
for now I am blessed that I possess transparency
I am the boy who can enjoy invisibility
but I may become the knave who is a slave to pellucidity
my bucking tongue refuse the fate of trepidity
Slow change the river’s flow
disjointed choir singing eight billion different songs.
Slow change the river.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia. Here's my full review - https://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=12710 Nik Havert
