Paper Boats

It's Ok, The Monster's Mine

It's OK, The Monster's Mine

New single, out now on Grandflat recordings.

Fake Your Own Death

An EP produced for a project in Chapel Ash underpass, Wolverhampton.

1. Descent   2. Prophecy 1   3. Earth's Answer   4. Prophecy 2  5. Ascent 

The project 'Common Land', explores the relationships between ownership, modernity, and spirituality. It is a social experiment which subverts the consumerist purpose of the ring road, reclaiming the green spaces of Chapel Ash underpass to revive the ancient notion of 'the commons', planting fruit trees, bushes, herbs, and vegetables that all can freely take from and add to.

Common Land

From 'Common Land EP'. 

Written by Billy Haynes.
Produced by Matt Pinfield.

Lyrics:

The stone circle shall crack open and conceive
and the son of man shall hang himself from the world tree
and all that was melted down shall become solid
and all that was broken down shall become whole

and we shall ascend
we shall ascend
we shall ascend my friends
we shall ascend

youth of delight come hither see the opening morn
youth of delight come see the truth newborn
and we all came from the golden desert
and we all sank beneath the golden waves

but we shall ascend
we shall ascend
we shall ascend my friends
we shall ascend

and the son of man shall hang himself from the world tree
and the children will eat the knowledge fruit in another Eden

Five Minutes Full Of Light

New Single, out on Grandflat Recordings 31st July.

A journey through the landlords of the mind, a tongue in cheek critique, a poetic scramble up the mountain of modernity...

Inspired in equal parts by 'The Even Bigger Man' at the pub selling bits of Birmingham to the Saudis, and a chapter of Jean Baudrillard's 'Simulacra and Simulation' that I half understood.

A radio version, sans bastard.

Written by Billy Haynes and Matt Smith
