taking what i can get makes me greedy
giving what i’ve got seems to please me
so why do i have so much
am i as flawed as i believe
looking at things simply makes life easy
i see the road beneath me
moves fast as i fly above it
trees and cabins float past
and the sky stays the same
sun and moon share and play
all i have to do is sleep and wake
decide what i can give
decide what i should take

On first listen I immediately felt a feverish familiarity, a spacey, frayed-wire connection to that dreamy echo of an angsty youth. I imagined Eno singing over Kilbey arrangements, and the dark embrace I always got from most anything on the 4AD label... from 80s Cocteau Twins and Bauhaus to Red House Painters and Lush in the 90s... really the entire cast of wonderfully introspective bands spawned during those decades. Wrenching, drifting... insistent, compelling. And deeply moving. Marvelous! Dr. "Buzz" Frenzy (Matthew J Hesse)
