Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) An exciting new discovery I made by following "darqlorde", who owns a collection with lots of goodies like this album. Lawrence Johnson aka "Heurt" writes songs that I can't put anywhere else but into the post-progressive category - which is underlined by the fact that he includes a cover version of one of my favorite "Radiohead" songs here, titled "Let Down". Granted, his music is much quieter and more minimalist, compared to the grand masters of post-prog, but the feeling in it is similar. Favorite track: Apartment.

Ben Garratt A wonderful album by a seriously under-rated artist, my favourite track changes pretty much weekly. Favorite track: Ceremony.

With pages turned away Curtains billowing against dripping skies Should we shut ourselves and the windows we both left open now? Had I the time to say that I don't say anything any more Being careful, but nothing is harmless Worth is found Is there a chipped glass somewhere? Chiming its sonder ring Into meandering night of gentle ebbing As scent over quiet Screaming an ocean's weight in sorrow And milk and honey borrowed Whistling by bridges Under arches of ancient fortitude And their well-worn lashes of water's relentless siege Built strong above a wave of calamity Expressionless For no words can speak it Or express it solemnly Simply stand and accept It will be It will be

Parade 05:32
Well I didn't know I was missing you Just sitting around Years on my heels Rolled back, eighteen And I'd never seen what you did to me When you came round Pouring out of a glass All nervous through the cracks But I knew then I'd missed you for years Before I'd ever even seen you And there you came A tropical storm to a candlelit boy A thousand ships and a horse at Troy I wanted more than I could ever let by So can I ask you Is this burden in your chest too? Is this burden in your chest too? If I knew then how close I was to losing you I never asked if I knew Am I losing you? Am I losing me? Just slip away You're my parade You're my parade Early mornings seal my fate Creeping air and sun-kissed skin With curtains rolling in But I'm not there So can I ask you Is this burden in your chest too? Can I ask you Is this burden in your chest too?

Ceremony 06:17
Make out you're running late You've got no strings I'm feeling smaller than ever It doesn't trouble your mind I'm so sorry all the time It feels like your mother's eyes calling you back to hold her I have a hole in the middle where everything falls through But tell my friends not to worry We're our own way Lonely and reckless in our ceremony All this release makes me harder to find Kicks in the teeth until somebody cries All this release makes me harder to find Kicks in the teeth until somebody cries It feels like your mother's eyes calling you back to hold her I have a hole in the middle where everything falls through But tell my friends not to worry We're our own way Lonely and reckless in our ceremony All this release makes me harder to find Kicks in the teeth until somebody cries All this release makes me harder to find Kicks in the teeth until somebody cries Trapped in the belly of some dying great machine Stalking around like your ghost on a string Send your abstractionist postcard sympathies I'm holding the edges just to be in touch with something I'm feeling smaller and smaller and smaller I'm feeling smaller and smaller and smaller It doesn't trouble your mind I'm so sorry all the time How did that halcyon old song go? I don't even care, just walk out alone You said I'm overwhelmed Just make me laugh Then make me cry I need to stop thinking for a little while Just let it kick in Just let it kick in

Ornaments 05:42
I was thinking I'm the tar pit The broken house where we collect Do you find it easier to live inside yourself Without mirrors to reflect? You're at a table all alone And I know, I know, I know There are things you say that you don't mean But can you please just treat me like I'm here I shouldn't be scared to speak But you know you won't let anything go Would you listen to yourself Just listen to yourself Someone please tell me how to do this I'll stop trying to stop you throwing ornaments at me Can't you see I'm so scared to speak I only talk when you're asleep But you won't look over your blockades to see Someone else struggling is not your enemy But I'm trying to remind you With every single cell of me I'm going to make you see this If I could be enough for you to treat me as your equal

Let Down 05:25
Transport Motorways and tramlines Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people Clinging onto bottles And when it comes it's so so disappointing Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch legs are going Don't get sentimental It always ends up drivel One day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Let down and hanging Let down Let down You know, you know where you are with You know where you are with Floor collapsing, floating Bouncing back and One day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction (You know where you are) Hysterical and useless (You know where you are) Hysterical and (You know where you are) Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around

Morning 03:47
It's like you weren't afraid of anything Never had any fear of me But I've been crushing down a storm in a bottle for years Reach out Every morning it's still always you that I'm thinking about As I reach out You're so far from my pull But like a sweeping wave through our city It's still always you It's still always you I can't hold a heavy love, but she's a saint Well I could never give enough, she used to say I can't feel a thing It's nothing I can't feel a thing Well it's nothing I can't feel a thing Reach out Every morning it's still always you that I'm thinking about As I reach out You're so far from my pull But like a sweeping wave through our city It's still always you It's still always you

Lyon 05:52
I could have loved you there I could have said I could have said, upon a church stair I could have asked you then But I was not there, I had to know I had to know I want to see it all now I couldn’t have left I couldn’t have left you I had to know I had to know I had to know I could have loved you there I could have said I could have said, upon a church stair I could have asked you then But I was not there, I had to know I had to know I want to see it all now I couldn’t have left I couldn’t have left you I had to know I had to know I had to know I could have said, I could have stayed Are you alone, or are you loved? I couldn’t have left I couldn’t have left you

Apartment 04:22
The things never said To open up outright I never knew how hard it'd be to talk to someone else When the timing never seems right And the timing never seems right I'll wake up in our old bed In that tiny room "Please, you have to stop this now, I know you're only playing dead. We can do anything you want, Anything at all" But I'm still sleeping Desperately happy I'm still sleeping And we're desperately happy

Elpis 04:08
The party is over, cry if you want to Retreat to our home where the silence becomes you And all that is left litters tree-lined avenues The mess is outside but all over our windows We can see through ourselves in the gaps in the curtains I'll write down the words to accept all our unknowns On the walls where you paint epitaphs looking over secret gardens and trees The brigades of our sonder If I fixed you, would you hate me? If I fixed you, would you hate me? Needles in tremolo Trembling featherless elbows If I fixed you, would you hate me? But I keep a hope of you coming back home

I hope that you like it in your little motel And I hope that the suite sleeps and suits you well Well, I can see it as time and a sight through smell, and That's why it's nice to be by yourself 'Cause that's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' We treat mishaps like sinking ships, and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well, I can see it in your eyes, like I taste your lips, and They both tell me that we're better than this 'Cause that's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' We trade tit for tat, like that for this And I don't think that there was an insult that was missed I can see it in your eyes, like I taste your kiss, and I'm very sorry 'Cause that's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, darlin' Remainders of a shooting star Landed directly on our broke-down little car Before that we had made a wish That we would be missed If one or the other just did not exist 'Cause that's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, aren't I? That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for That's what I'm waiting for, darlin'
