This road is a long one
But we don’t strike out alone
Bitten by doubt
But we’ve seen it all before
There comes imitation
Easy eyes to draw out the blooms
Mine is a vacant room
Sing for the rising song
Of content and older sex
Unfettered by garments
Enshrouding a patient inner jest
Could I ever play it?
Chasing out the time and tune
Ours is a vacant room
You’ll enjoy finding out what your treasures are
This is ours born and broke of its cynic heart
Pieces shatter and slowly will come to rest
Like so many moments past
Says I of an artist
He isn’t entirely giving his all
Says you of a partner
Pay with your life and call a draw
It finds its own way there
Little strifes and severed wounds
And all for a vacant room
It turns in the cradle
Pacified and taken too

Hell ya to And And And's songwriting, drummer Bim Ditson's post-punk mania and Berg Radin's swarm-of-bees guitar lines… there are few bands in PDX that get me this emotional involved. ♡ this band. Sama Dams
Andy played sax over Dirty Work and killed it over two other tracks that we've got in the vault. This release shows the depth of his great talents, and the shape of his unique musical mind. Aw yeah. Sama Dams
The songs on Kelly Reed’s latest are slyly self-deprecating, set to a backdrop of measured keys and guitar for maximum stateliness. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2023
The Australian instrumental band juxtapose classical pianos and ambient swells with uncompromising, proggy post-metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 9, 2023
