A demo of a song I've been playing live for a terrifying number of years.

How Long Must I Wait(demo)

Another rough new demo recording of a song I've been kicking around for years.

Emden (demo)

My folky songs were getting too popular, so I thought I'd go back to doing 8 minute instrumentals that no-one likes.

Tourmalet

A song from the forthcoming album Detachment, due out 25 September 2015.

Ratatosk - Nathaniel

Ratatosk - Take it and Like it

Elis James, Isy Suttie and Ratatosk - Robot Love

Wasp In The Rain MP3

From the forthcoming album 'Archipelago Vol 2'.

Attempting to ask the question "What would John Fahey sound like if he was in the Dirty Three?", with liberal use of quotes from Six Organs of Admittance and Alexander Tucker.

Ratatosk - Pantani

From the forthcoming album 'Archipelago Vol 2'.

A briefish instrumental.

Ratatosk - Fignon

A song for Christmas. Not as jolly as the others.

Available with 3 other wintry songs from 9/12/2012 at http://ratatosk.bandcamp.com.



Hours to go til the end of the watch
Ice on my beard and fleas in my crotch
Taking a drink when there's no one around
But no one ever comes here - there's never a sound

Woe betide anything that moves
Evil creatures with wings and hooves
The Devil's Bones have got hold of my soul
It's Christmas day and my soul has a hole, a hole, a hole where the good tidings fell away from me

Everyone left here when autumn came
When you're alone every day is the same
Outposts need manning and the man's gone insane
It's Christmas day and it's starting to rain

Christmas dinner is water and moss
Inside my stocking is a sense of loss
There isn't a place where I belong
The Devil's Bones tell me that it is wrong, wrong, wrong to believe that things will improve on this day

If the worst thing to happen to you is you have to feign interest in possessions new,
If the worst thing to happen to you is that you are still hungry by half past 2,
If the worst thing to happen to you is to talk to people you don't really know,
If the worst thing to happen to you is to be underwhelmed by the level of snow,
Well I'd like to change places with you.


Ratatosk - The Devil's Bones (A Deserter's Christmas) [edit]

Sad songs sung sadly (or bad songs sung badly, but your opinion isn't needed here).
