Debris (2014) - Housemate Of Mine.

Time moves on, steers reality
Morphing memory, sculpting people
Shaping personality 

Stay the same or take your aim 
On what soon may be
Everything you’d set in stone now mossy rock debris 

Even if you hold your gaze
Locked upon the time and space
Planned events unfold in place
Will you be happy?

Skipping forward, scrolling down
Your timeline’s page
Smiles abound with little frowns
All through your age

But looking closer deeper still
Past the pixel haze
The pearly whites act as veneer
As your heart decays

Even if you hold your gaze
Locked upon the time and space
Planned events unfold in place
Will you be happy?

When it all comes round
Will you feel okay?
Eternally bound
In faux charade 

When the shit comes down
Will you be the same?
Eternally bound

But the question still remains,
Stay on board the bridal train
Let all their plans unfold in place
Will you be happy?

Will the years you stayed in time
Be worth the second guessing life
While playing all your parts as wife
I guess you’ll see

When it all comes round
Will you feel okay?
Eternally bound
In faux charade 

When the shit comes down
Will you be the same?
Eternally bound

Debris (demo version)

Looking for help identifying a sound heard on hot nights (February to March) in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. To me it sounds like a baby bird going cheep… cheep…. The pause is about 3 times as long as the squeak. It seems to come from the garden beds not the trees or sky. 

Suggestions have been crickets, katydids, cicadas, frogs, birds. I was wondering if it could be common garden skinks? I see tons of those during the day. 

This recording also features a dog barking, and what I think are microbat sounds right on upper the limit of human hearing range.

One day soon
There will be
A better place for you and me

Tides have turned 
Words relay
Information led astray

Respect is earnt
You got burnt
Now too many wines to see

Drink it down
Spin that frowne
This was always meant to be

Ohhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh whooooohhhhhh

It’s time to go, go, go, go
With the flow
Watch us glow

It’s time to go, go, go, go
With the flow
Watch us glow

(Feel the flow
Overthrow)

Feel the 
energy 
Let it fill you up inside
Lift up 
lift up
Lift up

It’s time to go, go, go, go
With the flow
Watch us glow

It’s time to go, go, go, go
With the flow
Watch us glow

Pre-order album on LP, CD or Digital ~ https://hopest.re/TheWays

The Putbacks - Melbourne’s dirtiest, darkest and heaviest funk rhythm section - bring you an album of crunchy post-soul post-jazz mystery-cinema instrumentals for your turntable and your sampler. Produced by Paul Bender (Hiatus Kaiyote) and featuring collaborations with luminaries such as Bilal and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, this record is a hard hitting, abstract journey into an alternate reality where The Meters specialised in Sci-Fi soundtrack art and Dick Dale played guitar on Madlib records. Known for their instrumental 7inch funk cuts and their collaboration with Emma Donovan, this self-titled LP is the first full- length release to the band’s name and is well worth the wait.

The Putbacks take their cues from the great house bands of the 60s and 70s soul studios - The MGs, The Meters and The Wrecking Crew, as well as film composers from David Axelrod and Lalo Schifrin to Adrian Younge and contemporary instrumental groups like BADBADNOTGOOD and Khruangbin. The band play together with an uncanny rapport and near psychic intuition. Minimal, spooky, and elastic, The Putbacks slide from dance floor fire to cinematic interlude and back, from densely composed music to free improvisation, blurring all the lines in between. From the screaming guitar of the Bilal feature The Ways to the oily funk groove of Hold On and the soaring strings on No Man No, The Putbacks is destined to be a classic.
