First of all, we wish the happiest Thanksgiving to all our wonderful SoundCloud friends and family. This song began as a twinkle in Artur's eye a couple months ago. He composed it with his Jaguar, as that is the premium surf guitar out there, and shared it with Tez, who invited the rest of us onto the project. 
   Tez, being the first on the boat, added his thrilling guitar fills and solos first. It was kind of odd the way we did this one, in fact, with the melodic/chordal instruments first, followed by the rhythm section. That said, JJ was next up to bat, adding his magical electric piano and soaring organ. Ken was first up for the backline, adding his driving drums. Josh then finally added his fretless bass to the stew. But before he was done, Josh also added the guitar solo you hear from 1:30-1:55. 
  After it was all said and done, we asked Tez to mix it for us, as he is a master producer and mixer. 
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock songs of Artur's we've been fortunate enough to get to play with. He is the surfingest Polish fellow you will ever come across, and a wonderful, familiar collaborator with Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

White Christmas

This is a song about an escalated night of Christmas drinking.
Starring: You and me and a  Mall Santa Claus ( a Harry Dean Stanton type character).
This is probably the most depressing Christmas song ever.
Happy Holidays!

Lyrics:
Yeah (well) anyways...
I guess I'm your guardian angel
I should  wish you good luck
I've been sent by"The Entities" above
To get you out of your Christmas rut

I went down to the bar
I know that you couldn't go far
You've let yourself go soft
I gave my better judgment the day off
I'm full of Christmas cheer
I've got 10 cases of imported beer
I'm moving out tables and chairs
We're gonna have a dance floor here!

I've been writing Christmas songs
I hope you'll all dance along
and sing along
I'm spinning records of Metal and Motown songs
Songs for everyone
Even if you feel like you don't belong

Oh, when I was a child
My mother took me to go see Santa Claus
At a broken down mall
With a broken down Santa Claus
And I said:
"Santa Claus, what can I do to have everything I want in my life?"
And Santa Claus said to me:
"Get your head out of your own asshole Son"

Ahhh yeah
Get out of your Christmas rut!
I've got some dynamite in my trunk
Let's get you out of your Christmas rut!
I've got a present for you
It's a box of old dumb luck

There goes Santa Claus
Walking home from the Mall
I think he's got a bottle of Ripple in him
Go, Santa Claus, go!!!

Ahhhh, come on
Get out of your Christmas rut!
We're drinking with a Mall Santa Claus
That's (Huh?) down on his luck
C'mon, get out of that Christmas rut!
How about loaning your guardian angel
About $150 bucks?

(Holiday Bell Ringer: )
The holidays  
It's about family
And friends
And peace on earth

(Drunk Santa comment:) 
Yeah?!?! (ha)" Peace on Earth"
More like 'piece of the action' if you ask me!

Lucy Clip: "You're in a rut! A big fat rut!
"I think we're gonna need some good Attorneys"
Get out of your Christmas rut!

Christmas Rut!

Just messin around on a snowy sunday. Why not write a song about red trucks and their owners. I think chicks dig red trucks.. probly. 

I have some other new ones Id really like to record but Im way out of shape right now as I haven't played since the summer.

I like my eggs over easy and I cook em in lard
I got big strong muscles cuz a work real hard
I got me a 4 wheel ATV that I keep in the yard
I keep it in the yard
Its out in the yard
and if you mess with me or mine 
yer gonna git ded

My Truck is Red.. yep

I dont go down south cuz its too damn hot
I put mustard on my brat cuz I like it a lot
I hope you like PBR cuz thats all I got
Thats all I got
its the only kind I got
And if you trespass on my 40
 yer  gonna git ded 
My truck is red....

Now in this mean old world you gotta toe the line
Whats yours is yours and whats mine is mine
you got to mind your own affairs cuz there just aint time
There aint any time
I got no time
And if you look at my wifes butt 
yer gunna git ded
My truck is red....



My Truck is Red

“It seems like everything sleeps in winter, but it’s really a time of renewal and reflection.”  – Elizabeth Camden

“Wisdom comes with winters.” – Oscar Wilde

Winter Reflection

In this ambient reimagining of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" from Aaron Copland’s "Appalachian Spring" the melody unfolds like a whisper from the past - softened by time, wrapped in quiet resonance. Set to 415Hz, the piece emerges in a delicate soundscape of ethereal pads and reflective piano tones, each breath measured at 45 beats per minute. Here, rhythm is not a pulse but a quiet inhale - gentle, patient, elemental.

As the harmony shifts toward 587Hz, a subtle transformation takes place. The low sun lifts just enough to illuminate solitude’s contours, casting a quiet radiance of uplift and joy. Orchestral percussion enters like distant echoes of sacred rituals - cymbals, bells, and timpani grounding the ephemeral into something tangible.

This is not a song of arrival, but of return. Of resting in the center of oneself. Of rediscovering gratitude not as triumph, but as stillness. A meditation on simplicity, humility, and the profound resonance of the present moment.

Let this music carry you inward, toward the spacious silence where the simple gifts still sing.

Hi Everyone!
This is another joint track by our duo and the first one after a slightly longer break. 
We invite everyone to take a ride on the cosmic highway through the Milky Way. For now, it's all happening in our imagination, but one day... in the future... who knows?
We refer here to our previous songs (especially “Winter Trip”) and surf-ambient sounds, but we also try to add new elements and textures. 
We hope you enjoy our new project! 
Have a nice trip! 🌔

Milky Hi-Way (w/Well)

Cacade is the second track to be taken from my forthcoming e.p Fear of the kingdom,,the song is an introspective piece of music and its  idea is inspired by the idea of chaos in life  and loss and strange dreams i had

Go Arpeggiate Yourself

I didn't choose this obsession it was chosen for me unknowingly.
Lucky me no regrets.
