A morning spent with salt and sun
Leave your shoes on while I go
Down
On you, I taste the ocean
I’ve got sand on my tongue
Now, now
Your lashes bat
the belfry empties
out and up into the glow
take your time to tell your secrets
show me things I shouldn’t know
a kiss was killed with complications
show me more before you go
Down, down
(Will you hold your disbelief before I sip the sap, you put your flesh between my teeth, you drink from my lips, I spill myself into you)
I lost myself in the map you drew
and tore to shreds, I couldn’t tell you
the tape for the turn of the year of the horseshoe
crab cake milkshake bottle cap corkscrew
The wasp was landing to lick your sweat
apricot seasick fishing nets
fresh cut grass scratch shoulder blades
cotton limbs and catching glances
a kiss on the mouth from the yellow roses
bow and arrow varicose veins

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
