EXCAVACATIONS RELEASE LP OF ALL NEW MATERIAL ON WEIRD FOREST RECORDS
Excavacations in Perris-Beauchamp

Following last year’s compilation of songs gathered from their tapes on Stunned Records, Avant Archive, and Paramita Recordings, Excavacations debut their album of all new material for Weird Forest Records: 
In Perris-Beauchamp.

Mastered by M. Geddes Gengras, this is the duo’s most accessible presentation of their trademark amalgamation of ambient, rock, drone, pop, and electronic music. Employing a frontier-centric approach similar to current and former labelmates Grouper, Emeralds, Sean McCann, and Sun Araw, Excavacations are set apart by their ability to transport noise-laden soundscapes into the pop realms inhabited by Sufjan Stevens, Van Dyke Parks, Dirty Projectors, or The Flaming Lips.

As was the case with Weird Forest’s release of Lil B’s trailblazing record Rain in England, it is evident here that rather than imitate or corral their sound to fit within an existing genre or throwback style, Excavacations write music that can only be described as their own.

The album is available now through most digital retailers.
A four-song sample of the album can be listened to by clicking here.


Praise for Excavacations:

"Weird Forest’s as-yet-categorised rockers Excavacations warrant your attention." --- Boomkat

"I’m surprised more bands aren’t jumping all over what Excavacations attempt on their Weird Forest debut...the seamless blend of modern drone/ambient music and indie pop...Excavacations succeed because they take the conceit seriously." --- Experimedia

"The suggestions that Excavacations are simultaneously a "pop" and "drone" act somehow fits exceptionally." --- Tiny Mix Tapes

"Every time I find myself sure of a touchstone it crumbles into my ears and I'm left running around…trying my best to describe the teensy tracks before they slide into another ocean." --- Gumshoe Grove

Cover of Swan Lake

You have a father
There is another
you have a sister
there are no brothers
you have good friends
you have a lover
when friendships end
you will still love her
but it's Theresa that you love the best

There was a flood
a world of water
the Mason's wife
swam for her daughter
1000 people did what they could
they found a steeple,
tore up the wood
500 pieces means 500 float
1000 people means 500 don't
and it's Theresa that I love the best

I've said it before
and I'll say it again
all fires have to burn alive
all fires have to burn alive
from near his heart
he took a rib
but all fires have to burn alive, to live
from near his heart
he took a rib
all fires have to burn alive, to live
so it's Theresa that I love the best


All Fires

me and google made an english translation:

The Bear

You always know where I am
and what I do
You know my friends
and their friends and their friends

You're always there You 're always there
You're always there You 're always there

You like to show me what YOU want me to like
but I no longer ask yourself
I know the answer

You're always there You 're always there
You're always there You 're always there

I then get away with fleshy beings who sometimes poop
and the children, and the sun and the cats and the sea
and the longing and the wasps
and the streettraffic and sex

You're always there You 're always there
You're always there   always there

I go to the zoo
to smoke with the animals 
and the zoo records everything
the tiger will soon have red eyes
the hippo is flat and slowly drifts away
but the bear still fluctuates back and forth gently
yes the bear still fluctuates back and forth gently

like a thigh , that bobs up and down to a song
like a thigh , that bobs up and down to a song

Everything smells so real and is 3-dimensional
It's raining cats
and my status is I do not care
I don't give a damn....



Der Bär ++ Video ++ Michael Kralik

you don't get to be bored

im losing touch
losing time
forget ones self
i see you atop the hill
hand out to me
but thats just a dream
silly like it seems
i never forget the look
on your face
if only there was such
a time and place

Time and place

My son is fascinated with dragons, so I decided to write him this little soundtrack illustrating a dragon romping around within his lair before taking flight into the night
