lyrics
Young boy fascinated by sound;
Took to water and almost drowned
Young boy didn't like what he was,
Re-invented to fit the buzz
He ignored omens of a zero hour
People get hurt when you squander power
They'd say 'Child, you're a bit absurd'
But he kept on flapping like a thunderbird...
Sometimes anger would beam from his eyes
People ran from the rain that betrayed the skies
Was he doomed by his gift to be torn asunder,
Or was he born to fly into such sweet thunder?
The whale's determined to kill the sea
Look at that asinine irony
Good ones come, but great ones go,
Pulled into the crypt of an undertow
The boy could feel the light like sheets
In the end, self-awareness was true defeat
Now, cooler than the wind, he's a Model-T,
Trying not to sink in the sonic sea
Grew to shapeshift into a man into a mask,
At the bottom of the totem, he's a star at last

A stellar singer-songwriter. She inspires much of my musical DNA. This album creeps up on you in the best way. Recommended for rainy day listening. Sacha Mullin
Buoyant vocals and a varied palette of synths work in perfect tandem to create gorgeous art-pop that's able to address big realities. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2019
