There was once an ancient wealth
Brought forth, dismantled and repaired
And from this wealth there came the word
But words mean nothing when misheard
They grant new power graced by God
Another hour then it’s gone
I dress my girls in purple gowns
I put my fingers in their mouths
And I see your death
And yours and yours and your death
And I see your death
And yours and yours and your death
There was once another man
A beauty older than this land
I gave him names to pass the time
Whatever visions passed my mind
I followed him from room to room
My darling Josephine withdrew
I had brought old Robert’s blade
Half expecting to carve his face
Tiny flashes in my mind
He held his breath while I held mine
Such mercy, mercy in this land
I pray the Lord will understand
And I see your death
And yours and yours and your death
And I see your death

Some may know Farmer from his time under the Monarch Mtn name. Happy to see Western Vinyl has picked up on what a talent this guy is. 'Still No Mother' delivers such a subtle venom, one that works its way into the bloodstream long after the music has ended. Farmer's music impacts in much the same way as that of Damien Jurado or Bill Callahan. The songs seem as if they've been on rotation for many years, like visiting an old friend, instantly familiar and welcoming. Lost Tribe Sound
Introspective pop songs with transcendent melodies offer a joyful meditation on staying present in a world that often moves too fast. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2023

Australian songwriter Tamara Westwood, who describes herself deliberately as a trans girl, and fights for the cause of transgender people, attributes her songs to the "dreamo" genre. Actually, that's quite descriptive of what's to be found on "The Fifth", releasing me from the task of finding an appropriate genre myself. The music sounds remarkably full-fledged for a DIY album labeled "bedroom pop" - absolutely not lo-fi or bedroom-bound. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
