  • Buy the Full Digital Album

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    7" translucent blue mono vinyl EP including 4 songs form the album. Comes with a digital download of the full album as well. These records were cut on a mono lathe cutting machine from the 1940s, originally designed for the radio. They are recorded in mono at a lower volume than pressed records. Aaron Jennings at Listening Hat Records spends a lot of time getting these to sound as good as possible, and to my ears they sound great. But don't expect them to match the sound quality of the best 180 gram vinyl in your collection.

lyrics

Slow, even though it's fast you want to go (x2)
While the rest of us are boom and bust
Chasing our tails in a cloud of dust
Just keep hanging back
Keep keeping track
So Slow

High, even though it's low you want to fly
While the rest of us are left not trusting our feet
Running around on this shaky ground
Keep looking down
From an empty sky
So high

Bright, even though it's dull you want to shine
While the rest of us feel old and rusty
And shield our eyes from your blinding light
Keep looking down
From that empty sky

So slow
So high
So bright
