Macdui Island

The evening comes,
My inhibitions they drift,
In violent ways,
Unknown horizons,
My inhibitions they drift,
A violent haze. 

Darling, I can take no more.

One by one, 
Feather by feather,
You're lost inside my maze,
Day by day,
Feather by feather,
Your dreams inside my cage.

Darling, I can take no more, 
Maybe I can take one more.

One by one,
Feather by feather, 
You're naked by design I made.

Darling, I could take one more,
Maybe I could take them all,
Darling, I can break them all.

Feather by Feather

Lammas

Fatea review: 
"...wonderful intricate guitar playing which is utterly entrancing throughout. Dead Bluebottles Supine is full of rich and inventive soundscapes which makes this a fascinating debut, and Calming River one to watch"

Lyrics:
Shoreline
Headlights to you
Time trials
Holding on into
The trials
When we breathed for two

Take time
Time takes
We choose
To stand or fly
To try for better
We lose

Breathe soft
Breathe softly on to

Dover feat. OwnRoad
