lyrics

Entropy intrusion in a gamma ray burst
 I can mimic this illusion distilled vinegar verses
I came to disregard you, lover

If you leave your troubled chambers I will find your feathered locks And Iʼll rearrange your nature til youʼve disavowed your thoughts
Iʼll stay to see what you recover

POOR SIMON DEATH WATCH FIRST SILENCE TURN TURN POOR SIMON DEATH WATCH POOR POOR POOR

Four thirty in the morning, your perceptionʼs left you ill
Your obsession with reflection is the essence of your fear
I came to treat you as a brother

You left the axe with Robert to ensure itʼs safe return
The wake became a ritual complete with vacant urns
And mother would insist to fill every one with roses
Just to keep a man alive in a pre-defined enclosure

And you kept this man alive, fortunate to find him troubled
With an ordinary mind filled with ordinary problems 
And six thirty in the morning you could find him laid to rest
With the essence of reflection surely buried in his chest
Oh my brothers sing a song for him then let the bastard be
If you left your troubled chambers I will plant you like a seed Oh lord

Still No Mother
by Logan Farmer

supported by 7 fans who also own “Poor Simon (Death Watch)”

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

The Fifth
by Freya

supported by 6 fans who also own “Poor Simon (Death Watch)”

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)
