If You're on the Water

New Tradition

The "If You’re on the Water" EP, while self-released, is The Saxophones' first studio recording. It was recorded and mixed on an analog Toft console by Cameron Spies of Radiation City over the course of a spring week in Portland, Oregon. It features Alexi Erenkov on guitar, vocals, and woodwinds; his wife, Alison Alderdice on percussion and vocals; and his longtime friend and collaborator Richard Laws on bass, vibes, and Crumar synthesizer. 

The title track was inspired by a summer week that saw suicide, the transition of a relationship, and Alexi and his Father’s near death experience in a boating accident. The album pays tribute to the currents of beauty, sorrow and regret that run through our lives.

I see the suffering I cause myself and others, but it can be so hard to change; sometimes I even forget I’m trying to change! It’s difficult to accept responsibility.

Mysteries Revealed

I saw the future wasn’t that different. 
Isn’t that strange? 
How I try so hard to be the same. 

How could I not notice the depth of the pain? 
How could I not change? 
When the vision’s so clear,
you shouldn’t need to explain. 

A cut in the flesh, a sign of the times. 
Mysteries revealed, but I don’t like what I find. 

You must have noticed the moment passed. 
How does a moment last? 
I guess I never cared. 
I just thought I should ask. 

It may disappoint you, 
but I won’t blame you 
for having fun,
because it’s hard, 
even for the chosen one. 

A cut in the flesh, a sign of the times. 
Mysteries revealed, but I don’t like what I find.
A cut in the flesh, a sign of the times. 
Mysteries revealed, but I don’t like what I find.
