Gas Dragons

|
O, loathing all the pretty green things
I love to caress your neck
With the blade of my Sword of the Sun
O Dragon!
Bad poison chokes children
Killed million times
O, how I love to kill you
And make your head mine,
O Dragon!

Neptune

Neptune hides behind the other planets
Sometimes I can see him eating dinner
Neptune pulls the shutters closed when he notices
That’s when things start to get fun!
Neptune is very shy, I wonder why.
Shy shy shy shy!
Neptune has spaghetti seven times a week
He must like that spicy food, mmhm
It’s so strange that I never see him eating chicken
He must be a vegetarian.
Neptune is very shy, I wonder why.
Shy shy shy shy!

Once Was Nothing

Once was nothing, then came fire
Must mean fire is god, god.
Amidst the lightning, there came fire
Must mean fire is god of lightning
Fire must be god, god needs sacrifice
Fire eats and burns, everything is nice
Once there was a well full of water clear
Then came our lord god
Water disappeared.
Once was something, now is nothing
I prayed, “Fire! Save me from Nothing.”
Was delivered by fire angels
Lord god spoke and I was fire.

Potash Realm
02:24
|
|||
|
I was one day out in the sky
One day out in the sky
An anti-stellar ray flew right by
And almost sheared off my eye, eye.
Who would have ever thought that I
Would be the one smart enough to see God?
I told my family I would be gone for a while
And went to go play with a faerie child
The Potash Realm!
I found myself buried one day
Beneath the potash and crimson clay
I found a message tied to me
It said to meet in the Potash Tree!

Yonder Potion

|
I’ve got a potion that will vanish me away
And make me extra-planar
In fact, I’ve got a couple extra doses
I think I’ll share it with you!
Beautiful, sweet, and yonder, oh!
Scarlet, blue, or silver, ah!
Ethereal-causing, yonder, oh!
Atom-purging, fantastic, ah!
I took this potion once before
It was a beautiful yonder potion
And then I drank another magic fluid
It brought me back to share the news
My yonder potion took me to the astral plane
Where I was in a spooky forest
I noticed portals gracing every tree
And I got so excited
Then I decided to go fetch my buddy
So that he wouldn’t miss this opportunity!

9. |
||||
|
Cetus rose in the morning night
A cloud had covered nothing, still
The moon had not emerged, for she
Was waiting until I, you see
The worthiness to gaze upon
A face so pure and fire clear
Comes not with love of innocence
But with an evil emanence!

Hither Potion
03:53
|
|||
|
To dwell in faerie grass
Or dance in faerie rings
Slips the fluid sky away
So speaks life from all things.
To destroy all things is a beautiful notion
Twist earth upon sky with a fiery potion
Each creates his own divinity
Molding light out of evil thought
He who wallows in its lucid affinity
Dashes love found, but never begot

The Furnace
02:02
|
|||
|
This furnace of mine is full of fire
The flesh of the kind is how it’s powered
My furnace is a piece of golden treasure
And everything goes in just for my pleasure
The furnace is where good is entombed
Anything that’s not evil is consumed
A fiery death is most assured
We’re trying to create a perfect world
My furnace is a piece of golden treasure
And everything goes in just for my pleasure
This furnace is made of golden fire (not easy to acquire)

Live at Roulette, March 2017
by Toby Driver
supported by 12 fans who also own “(II) Opposition Day”
Would buy this on vinyl if it were an option; these songs are gorgeous. The mastering on a few tracks ("Glyph" and "Smoke-Scented Mycelium" in particular) leaves a bit to be desired but the actual music is basically perfect. Can't wait for the studio versions; hopefully those will get an LP.

Ichneumonidae (Official Soundtrack)
by Toby Driver, Timba Harris, Russell Greenberg
supported by 12 fans who also own “(II) Opposition Day”
I've been a fan of Toby Drivers work for quite some time now - mostly, his work that strays away from the more metal side of things. Ichneumonidae is just that - a personal, introspective, chamber suite. If you enjoy this, make sure you check out the album Sixty Metonymies, by Tartar Lamb (another of Toby Driver's groups).

Constant Smiles write ghostly songs, where haunting vocals are wreathed in fog and float over melancholy guitars.

Porcelain Raft’s new LP is full of rich, gauzy pop, where sleek sheets of synth & guitar echo the vastness of the locales that inspired it.

Blue Lambency Downward demos
by Kayo Dot (and the music of Toby Driver)
supported by 11 fans who also own “(II) Opposition Day”
These 8 raw, skeletal tracks provide an intimate and intriguing look at the creative process behind one of the most enigmatic albums by one of the most unique bands in modern rock. An absolute gem for any hardcore Toby Driver fan.
