Acid Genes 03:22
lyrics
Heaven is Stranger than your head on my TV Acid washes out of eyes just like blue jeans, just like blue jeans It died in your eye when your heart felt so full Pulling back the scalp seeing marbled skull, marbled skull Don't puke sun in your hands Just to burn like that Don't puke sun in your hands Ah no not to burn like that I see them holding hands Man that looks happy Joanie thinks I wouldn't understand About being happy Don't puke in sun in your hands Just to burn like that Don't puke sun in your hands Ah no not to burn like that Dying to swim in you Know I'd be happy Joanie thinks I wouldn't know what to do About being happy happy happy happy (secret muffled spoken word)

Sun Down on Fertile Ground 02:37
lyrics
Can't walk away I don't walk away Echo bleeds out of the ear Rippling from my heart Totally wrong about the back country Sun whispers down on fertile ground I won't walk away Can't walk away I won't walk away Feel the way it sees rolling joints in the grass I will start again in the back country shade No roads coming in to my back country shade See the way you feel Rolling joints in the grass I will start again in the back country shade No roads coming in to my back country shade

Ah Don't Die 03:01
lyrics
Sitting next to you Trying to help you through ohhhhhhhhhhh Imagine sunny hills Watch their heads roll down ohhhhhhhhh they're long gone Waste deep in flowers They feel high on us ohhhhhhhhh Braiding daisy crowns Somewhere else now ohhhhhhhh we're long gone

In Gloom 02:57
lyrics
Conscious Sun burning holes In my pretty dead Dead Head Lost gaze stuck on the gloom wave Loving gaze with something to say I'll tell you how Pretty it looks When it all goes gloom Some thing's float, but you don't You just sink into the grass And let the light put spots in your eyes Pretend that light is that thing when you die I'll tell how Pretty it looks When it all goes gloom Conscious Sun burning holes In my pretty dead Dead Head Hey you in your skin Why did you have to let it in
6.
Total Dose 03:31
lyrics
Eye School is never what you want I would do just about anything Am I completely wasted wasting it A total dose of the human brain Suicide Eye never falls behind It's a sin to ever feel so down All drums detune to a hit of you Acid and love are all you ever do Eye School is never what you want I would do just about anything All drums detune to a hit of you Acid and love are all you ever do
7.
Spoken Werd 03:13
lyrics
A whistle blowing spit on a golden diary Sensations that somehow physically rhyme in sync with a crystal heart Full of champagne that could easily be mistaken for perfume Off beat head tired of being around Young and nowhere Passing time in a Fleshy bubble Floating in a bloody soda See my sugar sad and sweet Rain swept the streets A Clean morning Avenue Sun is bouncing off the water like a mirror and a moonbeam Sweltering smiles covered with a black veil I aint walking anywhere Suppose I'm just trying to feel Wind, Exhaustion, sensuality in a falling leaf Leaves fall like tears on an overplayed record I'm tired of getting sad to this Okay Yeah I'll feel better Like warm fur on a sleeping cheek

Iz Garden 03:01
lyrics
What do you want to know about it? I couldn't care less about space because I see an ocean of flowers Growing out of my eyes when I look at your face I was in you garden Heads in the mud Was painting you the colors That I see when we touch What do you want to know about it? I couldn't care less about space because I see an ocean of flowers Growing out of my eyes when I look at your face We were in your garden Fingers stuck in your hair You were drawing an island Of undead flowers everywhere We were in your garden Fingers stuck in your hair You were drawing an island Of undead flowers everywhere We were in your garden Fingers stuck in your curls
9.
Don't Know How That'll Blossom 03:40
lyrics
Paintings always in my face Lips explode like fireworks in the hand of spirit You know that's in my heart Her head tilts, I find my desire in it You know that's in my heart Mouth corners float up into the scalp You know that' in my heart It's plain goodness and I don't wanna talk about it You know that's in my heart Paintings always in my face Loaded faces, I can't get away Don't know how that blossom will flower
10.
Dead Stem 04:02
lyrics
I was over I was out I could tell myself about everything I wouldn't want But I could tell I get down on my knees in the salty shallow seas praying to the Moonchild It pushes back and forth And I was out I was out But I could tell it all I grow up I grow dead just like yellow flower stems Better colors on my tops But you could tell Don't show me my own ghost Keep my heavy head afloat with a strawberry dream that I can taste And I was out And I was out Stop And start to tell it I was over I was tired I could tell my skull 'so what' and do everything I want But I sit down I see movies in my face Couldn't tear that girl away Could see that her whole while was over now And I was out I was out Time So that's gone There's no action There's no action There's no action My light There's no action And i'm so Bored Yeah so what Yeah so what It don't matter It doesn't matter anymore I trust that I trust that I trust that

Palm Mutations 03:09
lyrics
I was such a goner then I was just a goner when I would leave I was such a goner then You were such a goner when you would leave Waking from a body death Summer blood is still dead It moves heavy on my Days low I know Out there Out there All by myself And I Stop my Walk to lull And gaze All by myself Hearing No Joy outside on a park bench I can't believe Blame it back and forth Drifts of clouds that move my sensual desires Tell me it ain't dead Tell me I was never dead It's It's easy Days low I know Out there Out there All by myself And I Stop my Walk to lull And gaze All by myself All my water is dead I'm dead All my water is dead I'm dead All my water is dead I'm dead I was such goner then I was such goner when I would leave I was such a goner then You were such a goner when you would leave Days low I know Out there Out there All by myself And I Stop my Walk to lull And gaze All by myself All my water is dead I'm dead All my water is dead you're dead All my water is dead you're dead

Peach Sunset 01:43
lyrics
Blooming eyelids opening I can taste your peach Peach sunset diving in it Dear your dawn is me Sweet as it ever was In that green river I'd like to always go to to wherever you are growing You don't owe me a single thing but your time but your time but your time Blooming eyelids opening I can taste your peach Peach sunset diving in it Dear your dawn is me Sweet as it ever was In that green river I'd like to always go to to wherever you are growing You don't owe me a single thing but your time but your time but your time

about

HR013

"Album opener “Acid Genes” evokes imagery of Jim Henson’s Muppets and their pre-teen friends tripping on psychedelics while banging on trash cans and cardboard guitars while all singing and laughing together on a fun summers day." - Noise and Color PDX

"Differential in their distant vibes, layered vocals and slightly-off melodies will make you feel cozy in the same way that sitting in a strange cabin in the middle of nowhere makes you feel. You're warm. There's no harm. You're incredibly stimulated in being in a new place with new people and you're taking in the new tunes" - The Deli

"I say “Ah God!” and you say “Goddammit!” and we’re in a tomato/tomahto situation, sort of, where no one wins. It’s because of this that we have to sit back and you have to smoke a bowl (because I don’t hit that) and we have to reimagine our lives in overlapping Venn diagrams of languages of frustration. Because why? Because we need to understand each other, that’s why! Why are we even frustrated in the first place? And how can we overcome such a dire state of mind?

Let me continue, and you try to hang in there. You good and baked? OK, great. I say “Ah God!” because Ah God is a band that I was just introduced to like half an hour ago. I also say “Ah God!” because the band Ah God I was introduced to, the one from Portland, Oregon (screw you, Maine!), is a headrush and then a trainwreck of massively off-kilter psych-pop, a tornado-through-a-trailer-park flinging brightly colored plastic debris and garbage over as wide a swath of Kansas prairie as possible. Why bring Kansas into this? Why not? It’s filled with garbage and prairie! (Or so I imagine.)

Imagine the Flaming Lips, circa In a Priest-Driven Ambulance, writing tunes with Syd Barrett’s ghost and Courtney Taylor-Taylor instead of Miley Cyrus and you’ve got the gist. And that’s why you and I, in our different states of mental awareness and inebriation, should be putting our arms around each other’s shoulders and singing “Kumbaya” instead of flinging invectives at each other. This self-titled cassette, pink shell, poly clear case, edition of 100, has the capacity to wrangle peace from the cosmos and plaster smiles on even the grumpiest Grinch’s face. Do yourself a favor and tap into that vibe, won’t you? You’ll thank me later, potato." - Cassette Gods
