More kid A vibes on this, great work dudes, great mix!

I like how this brings the vox to the fore and how the vox set the tempo too.

There's nothing quite like surfing near Húsavík , the water is cold and clear and black sand make it a memorable visit. Matthias is the best surfer in the group and was originally from Húsavík so the band spent a few days surfing and partying before settling down, inspired to write "Surfacing" about emerging from the frigid waters into the sun, surfing with friends.

Surfacing by Laxá

I first heard about the Inverted Jenny in the 1985 movie Brewster's Millions and was fascinated by the story of how a printing error could lead to the creation of the most prized error in philately.

For the song I envisioned a sentient Jenny, who worked for the US Postal service during the week (as they actually did). Part of the postal services unofficial motto is included in the second verse: 

'Neither snow nor rain (nor heat) nor gloom of night stays thee.'

At weekends she goes off where she can be free to just enjoy being her true-self, an aerobatic plane.

Her posterity is guaranteed when she is caught on camera, and subsequently a stamp, flying upside down.

The song is a celebration of a trailblazer with the courage to follow her own passion.

The melody soars and dives like an acrobatic plane.

LYRICS

Jenny lived for the weekend, she said
Life’s too short if you’re in bad company
She ran like the north wind
Strong and fierce, and howling to be free

On Friday she flies, and she dives
And she travels to places that you’ll never know
On Monday she cries and she sighs
And goes back to the life that she’ll never call home

If you wanna know what it’s like you better come with me
(You don’t know what you’ve lost til it’s over)
If you wanna find yourself you’ve got to set yourself free
(You won’t know what you’ve lost til it’s over)

She worked hard for the service
Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night stays thee
But steady flying bored her
She longed for the loops and an audience to see

On Friday she flies, and she dives
And she travels to places that you’ll never know
On Monday she cries and she sighs
And goes back to the life that she’ll never call home

If you wanna know what it’s like you better come with me
(You don’t know what you’ve lost til it’s over)
If you wanna find yourself you’ve got to set yourself free
(You won’t know what you’ve lost til it’s over)

If you listened to Jenny
She’d tell you how she turned her life all upside down
And no one will forget her
Caught on a stamp performing for her fans

On Friday she flies, and she dives
And she travels to places that you’ll never know
On Monday she cries and she sighs
And goes back to the life that she’ll never call home

If you wanna know what it’s like you better come with me
(You don’t know what you’ve lost til it’s over)
If you wanna find yourself you’ve got to set yourself free
(You won’t know what you’ve lost til it’s over)

7 (Appalling) - [Reedy Remix]

As the crocuses rise from the ground.
The boots of the wise man still tramping them down.
As the world makes its slow turn around.
An infinite circle just spinning to ground.
Don't be sad that you live by the ocean,
stone throw to the sea. 
Whilst your bodies in infinite motion, 
but how can that be? 

First things first comes the test, got to prove you're the best, just hitch up on your horse and lets go.
'Cause the meltwater flows where the crocuses grow, 'tween the rocks and the stones that don't know. 
That the river has taken its toll.
That the winter is set to move on.
That the boulders that it set to roll.
Will return to the place they belong.

As the crocuses rise in the spring.
The world in a state of bewildered mourning. 
Though most made it through to this dawn.
There is bare earth where once stood a ripe field of corn. 
There's a chill that comes with your devotion, 
an obvious fee.
Like the wind crossing over the ocean,
just naturally.

Lehi

If life's just a short interlude.
'pon which we just briefly intrude. 
If the light is the darkest 'fore dawn.
And the kids didn't ask to be born.
Just a dapple of light through the trees.
Feathers hang on the breeze.

If the world's just an apple in a space.
That the prothets can't put in its place.
It there anything out there or no?
Just a indifferent void that's let go.
Just a ember of fire that briefly transpires and glows. 

If someone comes up with a way.
For us to move forward and say.
Oh, remember when we used to pay.
For the things that were ours anyway  
All is dark and undone, all is pressed up and worn out, okay?

A light that can pierce through in the dark.
The right way to ignite the spark. 
A look from the edge of the sky.
An awkward exchange you let by. 
Sudden kindling of lovers who hated each other for years. 

If life's just a short interlude.
Upon which we just briefly intrude. 
Then as we're not here to stay.
Let's go out and enjoy the day.

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!

Thanks for visiting.
