Mountain Light
01:36
|
|||
|
The light above the mountain house
Shone all night and burned the trees
It dried the swamp and flushed the grouse
As its dryness cracked the leaves
I slit the sun with my knife
Saving everybody’s life
I climbed a log across the pit
To find the light and touch its skin
Fireflies perpetually lit
Guided me
I slit the sun with my knife
Saving everybody’s life

When in a well with a
Wooden floor and border
Made of stones as gray as clouds
Search for a stone somewhere
That can be depressed and
Take a trip to a treasure room
Find oils and potions with lions guarding
Greedy smiling felines, churns of gold,
Crevices to hide oils and potions
From evil thieves, but be too clever,
And use them wisely.
Find oils and potions and use them wisely!

Everything
01:30
|

|
Come inside the ground!
Eat the nuts that grow around!
Fly into the mound!
Feel the poison ladybug sound!
Come inside the ground!
Slosh the water all around!
Know that nothing’s wrong!
Feel the poison ladybug song!
In the ground I live
Planting all my seeds
Trying to compete with the bumblebees!
Oh…

Cave of Planets
03:27
|
|||
|
Everything was perfect until I found the hole
Which led to this cavern which I must now behold
The colors were somewhat conjectural
In a room of wonder on 9 chairs of gold
Sat the panteon of planets
The sun, their bejeweled lord
There were colors I had never seen
They all smiled around me, Venus stroked my hair
I feel down in reverence in that cosmic lair
(The only color was euphoria)

The Departed
02:46
|
|||
|
Filter out sun in a field of buttercups
Run around, fall in a field of grass
Lie flat down, sleep in a firefly festival
Fly away to other festivals
In a shell holding your life away
It’s the home of soul and etheré
On a ship flat as a plane of space
Cut the glass water and shiny face

On Horror Constructs
02:26
|
|||
|
“What is your opinion on horror constructs?”
“They should die.”
“Well, naturally.”
“They should suffer and feel the struggle of my knife in their belly.”
“What is your opinion on tiger beetles?”
“They are nice, most cuddly.”
“Mmm, yes.”
“They are shiny with a pleasant presence with a soft and black belly.”
“Now these horror constructs, they are evil? And do they hide amongst the leaves?”
“Yes, they’re evil and they’re far from clever. Ha! They couldn’t even outwit Steve! Ha ha ha!”
....
“So I see that you don’t like these constructs.”
“They insult my integrity.”
“Tell me more, do they catch on fire?”
“Ho ho ho! Most easily!”

Space Snails
04:37
|
|||
|
In the center of a mist-shrouded lake
Without another thing in sight, one night
With the moon’s reflective light
I had a wooden rowboat
Then I spotted a hill
With a cemetery on it
An amulet upon a frond…

Live at Roulette, March 2017
by Toby Driver
supported by 13 fans who also own “(II) Space Music”
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 13 fans who also own “(II) Space Music”
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.
