We've been sitting on this track since 2016 - we played it with strings/winds and the big organ at the Old Church in downtown Portland. We've got a full-band version of this finally recorded this year, and I'm stoked about it.
lyrics
I felt the wild call me out of the house
Untie my shoes, bare feet to ground
Far off beyond the river’s edge
I hear your voice, you’re whispering:
“I know that you’ll find me
Look close in the quiet.”
The brakes squeal on, the city’s high
Skyscrapers gleam in the noon light
Our highest towers clean the darkest night
Proclaiming kings who speak through street signs
“I know that you’ll find me
Walk faster in the alley.”
Oo
I moved on West, heard you say.
“I’m coming too, pack everything.
I’ve always been right by your side,
Whisperin the whole time.”
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
