like I can see what you are singing thanks for letting me. 

man, Jamie Stewart is an underrated guitarist...

During the summer of 2013, Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart and producer Shahzad Ismaily traveled to Sigur Rós’s personal studio in Iceland. Having access to the space for only one day, Stewart worked on setting down his interpretations of American and Caribbean spirituals using a 1953 Silvertone guitar given to him by his father (producer Michael Stewart), the man who introduced him to religious thought and folk music. 

The resulting album, Unclouded Sky, explores themes of death and faith over the course of nine songs originally composed between 1850 and 1920, which are interspersed with field recordings Stewart made in the jungle of Guyana.

Unclouded Sky will be available on vinyl as part of Record Store Day 2014.

Into The Night

The band called Deerhoof have a new song out! It's so weird because they are a band that does not even live in the same town but somehow they make musics! They like to keep in touch and also to make songs!!!!!! They are so weird!!!!! But then sometimes also they go to the same place to make the music! Electric noise! Have you ever been scared by your own shadow? That's what it's like to hear Debut, Deerhoof's new song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now I'm scared because of Deerhoof!!!!!!!!!!! Greg Saunier plays the drums and also he knows the names of four snakes!!!!!!! Satomi Matsuzaki is playing a bass while someone knows a moth is eating their old varsity jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Rodriguez picked up a guitar and there were worms in someone's garden and they murmured blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John Dieterich uses a guitar to play a song and there are old creepy frogs around your grandma's apartment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In 2016, Deerhoof have made this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  and once they made a skype call like the millennial youths!!!!!!!!!!!! -Hailey Reissman

Lyrics:
lonely eyes and a save me smile I know I could die tonight
junior high and I’m getting by
I don’t wanna try

I wanna take you home boy
come with me out in the light
living as(for) somebody else boy
open your eyes
you gotta try boy
open your eyes
squeezing the palm of my hand
in these bodies, we are alone

what could I have changed your mind
tell me
what good when we’re out of time
won’t say that I never tried
will you
set me free by the river side

and let it
take my body

let it take me
back to the river

lonely eyes and a save me smile standing halfway in the night
'cross the room in this neon tomb 
let it be the satellite  

I wanna take you home boy 
come with me out in the light 
living as(for) somebody else boy 
open your eyes 
you gotta try boy 
open your eyes 
who doesn’t need another friend 
in these bodies, we are alone 

what could I have changed your mind
tell me
what good when we’re out of time
won’t say that I never tried
will you
set me free by the river side

and let it
take my body

let it take me
back to the river

Open Your Eyes
