I heard a passing mention
of a river in the north of Spain
and due to some misapprehension
I thought I knew the name
The axolotl’s gone for good
I waited for the flood the way she said I should
I built a bridge across the valley and wrote
our names upon the peaks
the way she said I should
At the aquarium
Looking through the glass
I saw a part of myself
Looking back
I really love this album. The way the melodic/harmonic motifs seem to have these slight variations and overlap in different ways is constantly fascinating. Also the drum rhythms are just so cool. Also the sort of “found sound” stuff, like the typing and writing sounds, adds really nice texture. Nick Joliat
Honest & uninhibited, Ben's guitar and voice move effortlessly and unreservedly from sweet to insistent to ecstatic. No posturing, no pretense. His heart is wide-open here -- as in youth. jobo3208
