about

Previously decommissioned cipher stations have come back online
Long forgotten machinery
In boarded-up attics and basements
In bunkers and abandoned office blocks
Old transistors are humming again
Harmonic dissonance collapsing into patterns
13 Call signs:

8lob
Half buried in the black sand
Of a hollow moon
Rusted whorls and endless spirals
An iron shell
Put it to your ear and listen

SUN Sun +
Fragments and off-cuts
Collected and catalogued
A patchwork quilt
Unfolding connections and remembrances

S K Y E
Untethered
A spinning top
Rises
Catching light
Turning
Reflecting
The tune we used to play

//M E L O D Y_M A N
And now
He’s pulling all the strings
A cats cradle
Of tangled tunes
Weaving paths
And making up names

AH AH AH AH AH AH
Putting itself together again
An old melody
On a wooden flywheel

God * Woman = C I R C L E ()
Starry architecture
Rising columns
And distant archways
Shapes described
By movement
A glowing tracery
The fluttering of wings

1414[]
Shifting its weight
Glistening in darkness
Climbing to the surface
Making itself again

F O R E S T / …\ MOON
A clarion call
Beneath the canopy
Buzzing in the static
From a solar flare
Until the storm moves on
Leaving starlight
dripping and pooling
In the clearing

(S) illy Song #2
Another game of hide and seek
Skipping from one room to another
Open doors and bookcases
A maze of stairways and cupboards
Tables and wardrobes
Everything upside down
Everything inside out

D 1 Z Z Y
Waves
Rising and falling
Below:
a dark
Slow current

<DRUIDS Altar>
Somewhere in the center
Is a clockwork sun
A flickering mechanism
marking time
Backwards and forwards
And the spaces between

OOo
An old machine
A dusty room
Forgotten
But free
Without purpose
Without need for purpose

Dr Dr Dr || WOODS
There’s something
Behind the wall
Impossible to say
how far
Until
It’s everywhere

What a phenomenal album - flows as a complete work, hitting a climax with the beautiful pulsating track 8 ‘Moonhole’ before winding back down. A sonic treat for the soul, utterly captivating and mesmerising from start to finish. Scubadevils

This is superb. It is almost like a guided meditation; I found myself slightly altered, emotionally and mentally, while listening. It really is beautiful. EQ-P

A marvellous, erratic, creepy mess of looped guitars and I love it! If Penguin Cafe Orchestra had an evil twin, it would be boycalledcrow. chrisesimpson
