God & The Ghosts

Your age is not filtered through some novels
Old age space age new age lost in the bits of Saturn
Returned after so long it’s still the same song
Coming through….
The stanzas picked at already and glistening now open
Solid silver models misplaced on the racetrack
Given to the kids now so that they know that
It’s a grand race to forget and forgive
We’re staying silent for this one
Bracing ourselves for rejection
Who knows where they came by that forgotten corner
That tiny triangle who knows where it spun from
The spindle the cotton of time leaves no trace and everything
Trends downwards again god and the ghosts trend downward too
And take a late last bow
We’re staying silent for this one
Bracing ourselves for rejection

Hitting A New Low

Order and chaos an illusion
Shoot for the moon with the new gold fusion
No kings or queens in a wasteland
Just someone to balance out the suffering
Just one eye witness
Outside
We’re just waiting
Inside
Bones are shaking
Outside
Hitting a new low
They’re calling us to go
Order and chaos here we go again
Out of the world rust on the wind
The cross hairs swim through the heat haze
Scanning the skies for a new face
But no eyewitness
Outside
We’re just thinking
Inside
City is sinking
Outside
With the closest ones we know
Outside
We’re just waiting
Inside
Bones are shaking
Outside
Hitting a new low
They’re calling us to go

Travel trouble
Find a new home
Travel trouble
Wherever you roam
Travel trouble
Travel trouble
I want what you want
Feeling hostile
Jumping turnstile
My heart burning
Always returning
Travel trouble
Travel trouble
I want what you want
We are ready
Sail at midnight
Keep it steady
The moon burns so bright
Travel trouble
Travel trouble
I want what you want

Meander round the bend
Memories so blurry and incomplete
Too much soft focus no sharp relief
The curtain’s closed
Spinning round and zoning out again
The trees the cars and a buzzing light
That white noise sound
Is a river underground
Still flowing now?
The house is sinking down
We’re drunk inside the dreams with the falling leaves
The trees the cars and a buzzing light
That white noise sound
Is a river underground
The trees the cars and a buzzing light
That white noise sound
Is a river underground
still flowing now?

The silver ghost
That grand illusion
Pre-packaged scenes
It’s time to leave
It’s time to say oh yeah okay
The also rans
The might have beens
We all tell lies
We all win the prize
It’s not a race
That big ascension
Just getting by
No one survives
And you’ll sigh
Oh yeah on right
The also rans
The might have beens
We all tell lies
We all win the prize

We won’t crack those smiles this time
We just leave ourselves wide open
It’s nearly a hundred seconds to midnight
But we’re still leaving words unspoken
Where is the joy?
Is it over?
Where is the joy?
Still undercover
Is it the creeping dread
That keeps you in your bed
The shadow walking past
The hunter in the grass
These hours are not real
And the seconds will reveal
Everything we need
Anything at all
Where is the joy?
Is it over?
Where is the joy?
Still undercover

Swim Under The Winter

Swim under the winter
And don’t come up for air
You’re looking for a pattern
That isn’t there
Hold your breath
And dive down deep inside
Don’t look for a way back
The welcome on the doormat
Here is an example
Here is an exception
To help you go the distance
Turn fact into fiction once again
Oh disconnect the dots
It’s not easy to give them what they want
Oh disconnect the dots
It’s not easy
Where it starts is where it stops
Swim under the winter
And seek out all the pieces
In wide and narrow places
Document the features of it all
Oh disconnect the dots
It’s not easy to give them what they want
Oh disconnect the dots
It’s not easy
Where it starts is where it stops
Swim under the winter

A cipher coming in
Echo on the line
The voice won’t be refined
It’s different every time
Bringing you the memories
You want to forget
Not finished with you yet
It was all so long ago
Come on
Give us stillness
Hyper-real
Wilderness
Here are all the things
You can’t ignore
Crystals from the store
Snow under the door
Which one has the relevance
Could we ask for more?
The river breaks the dam
And sinks into the sand
Come on
Give us stillness
Hyper-real
Wilderness
Come on
Give us stillness
Hyper-real
Emptiness

Can’t wait to see PBE in Penrith with Debbie, Gina and Seb. This is my current favourite album with gorgeous synths, bass and drums pounding out such a danceable beat.

♥️ Love it and have no idea what's going on with ordinary people. 🤷♂️

Spaced-out synthpop music with a psychedelic edge, rhythmic and trippy.

Haunting and moody art pop spun from gauzy layers of synth and topped with aching vocals.

The four songs on this EP are smoky and mysterious, wreaths of synth surrounding Kiara NGL’s whispery vocals.
