When the cold tide came through the empty harbor tall ships were tealeaves sinking to their graves. Inches that rise high on the beach, in the same breath, the salt and the cold. Out here in the open there lay palms in the rising tide like lines of a poem. There are fears to be realized out here in the open.
A couple new things today! First is a rough, unmastered mix of
It’ll still be a few more weeks before we have a finished, mastered copy but we thought this sounds pretty good, so what the hell. Let us know what you think, just keep in mind the finished version will sound much better and be much louder!
