Mark DiTusa This is the kind of album that just slips from one song to the next without you noticing, and that's a good thing. There's something just so entrancing and mystical about this project. Favorite track: Full and Clean.

IAN COSTELLO I love 'fire fallow'. There's a sort of dark logic to the whole album. Brilliant.

If I let the air in Through the open window What do I let slip away If I let you see me With your open eyes What do I let into mine If I let the air in Through the open door How to keep from wanting more
2.
Fire Fallow 04:28
There is a light above Your head in the smoke There is a sphere unsealed A place you can go There is a fist that forms Reluctant and torn There are the seeds of love Forgotten, reborn The fire is crying And the walls are filled with doubt And I wake up feeling Like there is no way out
3.
The frozen air has left us In the silence now in bloom And the violence of the summer Burns up the afternoon You carry gold and kindness You bury blood and hate The former lifts you over The latter changes shape Thank you, Stranger Thank you, Friend I listen for you Until the end
4.
Light a stumbling night the door is closed Fraught with frozen spine and total control Life gives in to time the fortunate road See the question end and let it unfold In the fields of bone In the fields of bone Stare at moving air until you are told Write down at the stem and where takes hold Pay to cross the state or love every wall No, not even you can get where you’ve gone In the fields of bone In the fields of bone Look at the red light when you need to Look at the fixture and the fan It will feel good, it will feel obvious To never really understand To never really understand To never really understand To never really understand To never really understand
5.
Sink 02:54
When will you take me back Out to the sea The cold waters cover me And my family Leave me with manatee And sinking palm trees Lost are our differences Having Holding

Slipstream 02:05

Ommatidium 04:41
Call me over, call me through To a fog spilling from a room A dull buzzing leads me to A fly staring back at me Compound and crystalline The whole and the incomplete Ommatidium Ommatidium Waves cradle me to shore Wind carries seed A flood rushes underneath To you staring back at me What is it that you see A light or your reckoning Ommatidium Ommatidium
8.
Patron of the crossing over kings Carry with hands the useless position Watching over everything in an vacant land Working veil betraying the fingers Paint in jest for lightness and derision Shoot the fire into the sky until you understand It’s the simplest thing you can design It's a dream you don’t need a secret life It’s the simplest thing you can design It’s a dream you don’t need a secret life Ape of love with stunted tail Broken thumb clings to uncover There’s your reason make it known keep it quiet Progeny of something living Dies to be the father of precision Now we listen, wait and see, and fade into the plan It’s the simplest thing you can design It's a dream you don’t need a secret life It’s the simplest thing you can design It’s a dream you don’t need a secret life

There are sometimes I wish that I Was still by your side And other times I think it was right To say goodbye It's not out of sentiment That I say I will never forget The times we shared It's more of an eerie fact That if my mind's intact You'll still be there Even though I know it comes for me And that death will come to comfort me My life can still be full and clean And bright and sharp And dark and mean We are like the internet Filled with things we will regret And our future lives We live for info Sometimes we die slow But we hope we don't Sweet dreams for some Others learn from other stuff Like truth and love Deep in the ground And high in the clouds We hang around. And even though I know it comes for me And that death will come to comfort me My life can still be full and clean And bright and sharp And dark and mean
