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

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

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

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

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

Release Date: Summer 2013

Lyrics:
Keep on whistling in the dark
It will make it right
You're going to make it right

Dream of highways lights and gleam
Angelic means
Early morning dream

Chase the dog star 
To the end of the night
You've reached the early morning sun

Chase that dog star 
To the end of the town
Chase it 'till we've begun

Race the ragged sailing stars
Into a shades
Of a distant place

Place the maps before your eyes
Navigate your vice
Another shadow ride

Chase the dog star till the end of the night
You've reached the early morning sun
Chase that dog star till the end of the town
Watch it burn and watch them run

Your gonna make it right
Your gonna make it right


Dog Star - from Er So
