Folk

Recorded in the Spring and Summer of 2013 in our ramshackle home full of dust and splinters and various house pets as evidenced by the album picture.  The lizard in the picture has since died.  Have a moment of silence.  We multi-tracked the shit out of everything between Ashley and I (Michael)  - in fact the only track played by anyone else was hand claps by Bret Vovk and the bass line for Beware played by house mate and fellow vagabond river rat George Prescott.  This is our first album, first of many to follow.  Our second album Whore Bomb will be released by late spring early summer of this year of our Lard 2014.

Lyrics:
Well I walked outside that old highway sign
The sky burst open purple and red
I swear to God it wasn't in my head

Just then the wind picked up and scrawled
It's evidence in torn up leaves 
About this time to my amazement 
I turned to what had happened

What had been done
What had happened 
Was I the only one

A driver with a face unseen
Had a soothing voice and quiet mean
Let out his hand from a newly upholstered 8 cylinder

Well I scratched my chin, I stroked my jaw
I looked up to the sky with awe
And I laughed and laughed at the dark
Over what had happened

What had been done
What had happened 
Was I the only one

A praying mantis well he does beg
And spits into his wiry claws
His eyes are motionless green and cold

This I thought as I did unlatch
The car door opened and screamed with rust
About this time the wind
Picked uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppp

Over what had happened
What had been done
What had happened 
Was I the only one

Daddy Can't Eat - from Whore Bomb EP

Lyrics:
I, I was born
Close to the floor
Close to the floor in the mid-west

Up above my head
Were silver space ships
With the darkest lining

Then for no rhyme and 
For no reason
They landed with their space guns

Aimed right at the eye
Of every
Bureaucratic station

So sail right into the clouds
It has been this way forever
The earth crust tells a tale 
Things have been this way
              forever
AND THEY'VE BEEN HERE ONCE BEFORE!

Landing on the White House 
Back yard
Like it was a golf course

'Take me to your leader'
Was what they said
But there was no one standing

So they brought out
All their plagues and 
Dropped their bombs 
We're fleshy tombs within their cook book

So sail right into the clouds
It was been this way forever
The earth crust tells a tale
They have been this way forever
AND THEY'VE BEEN HERE ONCE BEFORE!!!!!!!

Alien Invasion by The Doneofits

Francesco Tristano & Sinfonieorchester Basel

Video for the original draft of Sugar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrR2Woei8RI

Lyrics:
The hills and the streets of the town
Are rolling along and you're with me
Laughing and smoking and screaming at the radio
Breathing sighs under those clouds

Sugar bees swimming in your eyes
Black hair pulled back and flowing down
Look to the sky see what we found
At your feet I lay myself down

At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down

Feeling cold in teh moring chill
When spirits show no mercy on either one of us
Well just reach out and let it pull you right in
Cause I feel it like a twister in my heart

I feel it like the thunder and the rain
I feel it like angelic silence when all is shut off
I feel it like a weight that has set me free
I feel it like a mountain in the glass ice rain

Your hair is the color of all life
And all the joy it brings

At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down

THE MOTHERS SONG - from Whore Bomb EP

from EP "Whore Bomb"

Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h-O68aPzNk

lyrics:
That lightening in the air
Strikes a mighty short time
Leaves a flash bulb trace

It's then I smell the rain
The valley is a parched leave
Crumbling at its heart

I'm drinking in the stars
Tasting that cool rain
I was so glad when it came
And then it went away

That mystery in my hands
Dissolved in a short time
Flits over mounds of graves

Your senses feel the rain
Just the same as mine
Perhaps we should join hands

Oh I'm drinking in the stars
Tasting that cool rain
I was so glad when it came
Then it went away.

Transmission - from Whore Bomb EP

For P.W

Written about a friend of my mother on the occasion of her death. Her and I did not know each other that well at all, I only saw her once or twice a year but she was the inspiration for this song.
In accordance with her last wishes, her ashes were scattered on the unique landscape of Connemara, County Galway. 

Recorded in Cloughjordan by Dermot O Hare.
Mastered by C.J Jacobson. 


Lyrics:

(I)
The end hit a friend, hit me hard so I start to think 
I remember yesterdays tomorrow was today last week
We rarely saw each other you and me
You were far away or so it seemed
 
Chorus:
But when word hit me like a smack in the face 
All the memories bled out of every place 
And its hard as turf to swallow but worse
Those thoughts fade too like ash in the dirt
Though I think of you there's no guarantee 
That time wont change almost everything 
But I'm reminded of you when I sing
Memory you've gone away from me  (X3)

(II)
Well my age took the stage when the rage cause you've gone took hold
So many years we'd known each other I don't know 
If I knew you as little as you knew me
Or what your last thoughts were before you were forced to leave

(Chorus)

(III)
Your laid to rest in Connemara about an hour from the place where you lived
In time I'll taste the flavor of those who prematurely dig graves
When my hands have turned to paper like yours
Maybe I'll remember how much it hurt

(Chorus)

ORDER CASSETTE/DIGITAL HERE: http://tetorecords.bandcamp.com/album/female-basic

https://tetorecords.jp/sui-zhen

Melbourne resident Sui Zhen’s ‘Female Basic’ showcases her own version of Japanese post-punk through a dreamy baleric-bossanova filter.

Having graduated from the Redbull Music Academy in London alongside the likes of Daisuke Tanabe & Andras Fox, Female Basic sees Sui Zhen move away from her previous beautiful bedroom-pop on to something more minimal and mysterious.  Influenced as much by long sunny days spent in Osaka as nights in Shinjuku record stores hunting for Mariah & Dip in the Pool vinyl, Sui Zhen gives us the soundtrack for a slow-motion, late night disco found somewhere between Australia & Japan.

Female Basic is available from May 1st through Teto Records on limited edition cassette and digital.  5 tracks & 25 minutes of minimal pop perfection.  All cassettes come with download code with high quality digital versions of all included songs.  

メルボルン在住のSui Zhen (スイ・チェン)のEP「Female Basic (フィーメール ベーシック)」は、ドリーミーでバレアリックかつボサノバのフィルターを通した彼女独自のジャパニーズポストパンク音楽と言える。

ロンドンのレッドブル・ミュージック・アカデミーをDaisuke TanabeやAndras Foxと共に卒業し、Sui Zhenの「Female Basic」のサウンドは、ベッドルームで作成したような美しいポップ調から、よりミニマルでミステリアスな雰囲気に変化。

日の光を浴びながら大阪の街を歩き回ったり、夜な夜な新宿のレコードショップでレコードハンティングをしながら、MariahとDip in the Poolのヴァイナルを手に入れた前回の訪日から多大な影響を受けて制作されたこの音源では、どこかオーストラリアと日本の間のディスコで夜更けにスローモーションのサウンドトラックを聴いているような感覚にとらわれる。

Sui Zhen「Female Basic」は5月1日にTeto Recordsから、数量限定のカセットテープと、デジタル配信でリリース予定。25分間のミニマルでポップな５トラックを収録。カセットは全ての曲の高音質MP3がダウンロードできるコード入りで販売。

Perfect Story

I dream about these perfect pictures
try to line them up on the wall
they almost paint a perfect story
until the last one it will fall.

Reminders of an ancient story
the thats starting you and me
take us back to an ancient glory
of a time now that will never be

Album: Er So
Release Date: Summer 2013

Lyrics:
There's a bat on my shoulder
That cries to the a.m.
As mild as a child he flaps off
To some night filled land

The windows glow yellow
So friendly in their
I'm left with a claw full of phone poles
BEWARE!

The road is a vessel 
The pulse and the drive

See what comes up in the end
See what comes up in the end 
See what comes up in the end
            (my friend)

All of God's children are swinging 
Out between those dunes
They're led by a series of voices 
From discordanent rooms

The road is a vessel
Dark pulse and dark drive
The road is a vessel 
Dark pulse and dark drive

See what comes up in the end
See what comes up in the end
See what comes up in the end
                   (my friend)

(then lots of screaming and carrying on)

Grandpa Song - from Er So

Album: Er So
Release Date: Summer 2013

Lyrics:
There's mercy at last
When the skies overcast
And it rains

A furious flood
Heartbeat pounds out its blood
Through my veins

Like an anvil striking 
The core of a spark
Hot cobalt smell in my hair

Best beware!
Best beware

I saw it at last 
When the lightening did flash
On the hill

In that quick light
Were tracks of tears 
Smearing faces in a chill

God fears nothing 
Like I used to fear
And I don't fear anymore

Best beware!
Best beware

Nativity screams
Through the darkest of dreams
To explain

The crowd will sigh
In shock as the wine
Spills and stains

All these years been 
A dog snarling quick
Pulling at the dope like a cross

Best beware!
Best beware

Beware - from Er So

Album: Er So
Release Date: Summer 2013

Lyrics:
See the evening star
Tiz a beauty mark
By the twilight face
Over the interstate

Take my dreams out west
Take from what is best 
Dump it over rooves
Through every scratch and groove
Through every scratch and groove
Through every scratch and groove

Got the radio whispering
Got the radio whispering (oh no)
Got the radio whispering

Wish to take a piece 
Of this moments ease
Stay here for all time
Till minutes break the spine

Bouncing back it seems
We're flooded in new dreams 
And what we could not take
Is drowning in a lake
At the bottom of that lake
At the bottom of that lake

Got the radio whispering
Got the radio whispering (oh no)
Got the radio whispering

I'm the surface of the moon
Craters are my words
Torn into a divot
Made by moving time

And what I cannot rhyme
Will not be remembered 
Will float into the dark
Will become extinct

See the evening star
Tiz a beauty mark
By the twilight face 
Over the interstate

Whispering Radio - from Er So

The guilty move into the conscious of the night
There are no songs that you write
And mother nature takes the sockets from your eyes
Its time to plug you out..

Tomorrows daylight burns holes in the sides of your head 
You don't wanna Get Out Of Bed

Get Out of Bed.....

MARiA SHiEL - Get out of Bed [Dublin home sessions]
