Looking Back (Remix 2024)

This marks the fourth collaboration with my SoundCloud friend, Seashea. I truly respect him, and I really love his guitar work. We especially have a great connection when it comes to ambient music. When I heard he was going on a journey for a while, we decided to create this track together. I’m deeply moved that our shared understanding across the ocean has come together in this form. For this artwork, I used a photo taken by him at the beach.
I’d like to present this track in celebration of Seashea and his wife’s wonderful journey. 
SeaShea, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Back in time
150 
million years ago
Archaeopteryx
 is up to tricks
In the canopy 
His wings he flicks
Y’know 
Y’know 
Looking for a juicy bug
Stegosaurus wonder past
Mammals dug a den
Hearts are beating fast
But will they last?

Only halfway through the dinosaurs long day
Is there really that much I can find to say?

Feathers on the wings
These are newly flying things
Though the birds will really take flight
Easy to miss 
Is Allosaurus Fragilis 
Hiding in the tree line out of sight 
Hold on tight 

Ceratosaurus is the dinosaur we want to see
A nose crest has to be the best, can we agree?

Archaeopteryx 
Has had his big bug nicked
He may be a dinosaur
But that don’t stop a lizards jaw
Tasting victory 
Catastrophe 
Stegosaurus takes a dump
And I won’t do a joke about his rump
Even though I could rhyme arse
Well, shit  - that came to pass

Another day in prehistory
Bring a book and why not stay for tea?

Back In Time

A brand new track recorded today. Buy my physical releases, thank you.

"Just say no the the status quo"  Dogs h8 Rats are genre defying, avant-garde music coming from the depths of punk rock, jazz, and everything in between the lines, it's chock full of surprises. The music is born of improvisational performances so with a little luck and a good ear you'll catch the "mistakes and imperfections" now and then, or as Miles Davis once said "Don't fear mistakes, there are none" and that ethos is in clear evidence within the music of Dh8R's. The core of Dh8R's is made up of Douglas Wilkerson and Michael Grimes who enlist the talents of various friends for added sensory enhancements."

❤️ Thank you for buying music from independent artists! We need to pay our rent and electricity bills, feed our cats, buy food, car insurance, and all that other stuff too...You can buy our music on Bandcamp.
