This Austin, TX collective melds Americana and Pyschedelia like a planet and a star colliding. The result is a rustic journey into what brings bodies together, both stellar and earthly. And what can pull them apart.

Humans share elemental building blocks with the heavenly bodies, but do they share the same fate? Does our celestial backdrop conduct more than just the tides? Grand Ephemeris explores these ideas by means of their Americana/Indie rock-infused telescope.

They are led by brothers Jason and Jaret Harrison who ply their earthly trade in the fair city of Austin, TX. They are accompanied by many talented friends, including:

Chad Gowan: drums/percussion
Nathan Campbell: mandolin/slide guitar
Aaron Campbell: banjo/mandolin
Kyle Williams: keys
Tim Aylsworth: guitar
Sam Berniard: horns
Arielle Henson: background vox

Atlassian Breaks

Whatcha gonna do, Lil Lazy Bones
Got a whole week's work do it on my own I guess
Maybe finish it all this year
If you can't in the next lifetime I bet I can

I bet you can 
Well I bet you can

Whatcha gonna do, Lil Lazy Bones
Heard your boss came down on you in front of all your friends
Left you in a mess of tears
Gonna find another job or crawl back and kiss his ass

Don't you kiss his ass
Don't you kiss his ass

Dress it up Lil Lazy Bones
Give it up Lil Lazy Bones
Staying up till the break of dawn 
Drinking all up your daddy's booze
Never see yourself winning
Never grinning when your friends bring the trophy home
Moving back with mom and daddy
Just the same as paying rent it leaves you in the hole

Whatcha gonna do, Lil Lazy Bones
Heard your lover had an attitude meaner than snake piss
Left you in a mess of tears
Gonna find another lover or crawl back and kiss her ass

Don't you kiss her ass
Don't you kiss her ass

Whatcha gonna do, Lil Lazy Bones
Gonna worship the bottle up turn it up and empty it
Leave you in a mess of sick
Gonna sleep til Heaven comes or Oblivion

Or Oblivion
Or Oblivion

Whatcha gonna do Lil Lazy Bones
Gonna be the poster boy of everything that's wrong
Never get up off your ass
Never gonna do a thing 'cause your heart is thin as glass

Cause you're thin as glass

Give it up Lil Lazy Bones
Dress it up Lil Lazy Bones
Staying up till the break of dawn 
Drinking all up your daddy's booze
Never see yourself winning
Never grinning when your friends bring the trophy home
Moving back with mom and daddy
Just the same as paying rent it leaves you in the hole

Audio taken from Caltech - Richard Feynman lecture on "Atoms in motion" Sept. 26th, 1961: https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/flptapes.html

"But each piece, or part of the whole of nature is only some kind of an approximation to the complete truth..."

"Very small effects require profound changes on our ideas."

"Even everything that we know is only some kind of approximation..."

"But what is the source of the knowledge, where do the laws come from that are going to be tested?"

"...to guess at the wonderful, simple, yet very strange patterns beneath it all..."

Tumult, Etc.

A cold drop on my lips
Across my fingertips I feel it

Instincts fire and spit 
Peel back my consciousness, just feel it

Driven into the earth
Under a mound of weight I'm dreaming

My eyes peeled back like for the first time
My head filled up like for the first time 

My head peeled back like for the first time
My eyes filled up like for the first time 

Your eyes yawn wide like gaping canyons
Your mouth yawns wide like a soulless phantom

Through the mud and the dirt
Tilt your head just right, I'm screaming

Your breath pulls tight like
Your eyes pulled tight
  
The light penetrates
My eyelids the boulder, rolling

My eyes dilate
My skin spikes and shakes, I'm waking

Instincts remonstrate
Across the wilderness I'm running

Sal Valotile

Probably just timed that right
The center of the sun, the middle of my mind 

It's not the day to get it right
Flip a coin, another clairvoyant oversight

Two chances to find your flight
If you miss the first one, wait around til midnight

Wait around til midnight...

Over land, over sea
Over day, over night
Evenly Again...

Evenly, equally
You can feel the Vernal sheath
Opening Again...

The moon ruins the symmetry
But bounces off the choppy seas
Hauntingly Again...

Evenly and equally
You can feel the Autumn sheath
Opening Again...

The light fades and it's all you get
Tidal forces argumentative
Jettisoned in an astral fit
Oxygen supply down to less than 1%
Fading out in a radar blip

When/where/why are totally irrelevant
When/where/why are suddenly  apparent

The waves do what they want
Particle or not

The waves form peaks and troughs
Particle or not

Is it what you are ? 
Particle or not

Nunca Jamas

Sweet Toothe

Less Superstitious

The Latent Psychic

Coming fast and hard it's raining cats and dogs and water moccasins 
From that town you hated Born and raised, baptised and born and raised again 
So just cry me a river, all seven seas and every ocean

Well let's just break it down 
Right down to it's most basic compounds, its salt content, cell count 
Its radio halflife, its huge fucking mushroom cloud

So I'll just write this story up the walls and trees and buildings in this town 
It's a real page turner, thick with irony and mood and first person 
and all the critics say "You can't put it down!"

Well try not to freak out 
Oh but, these walls are closing in, blood pressure's crumbling 
I've got a half a mind to talk about the half I lost (my brother knows)

Well try not to freak out!

I'll be the first to say 
Under that sign born and raised 
Stuck in that Southern state 
Your birth place:your grave

Well now I'm freaking out! 
Because I see it all so clear, it's perfectly circular 
I am the same as when I first drew breath, my first and last
