lyrics

A wilderness is coming
I’ve read it in the news
I’ve heard it in the barks of good men
Settled up to lose

I’ve seen it in subzero winds
Driving ghosts of snow
Across another frozen waste

I’ve watched it in unseeing eyes
That watched the ice-drunk waters rise
And landscapes disappeared beneath the swell


I’ve felt it in the freezing
In my own frozen lack of feeling
And I’ve smelt it in its striking lack of smell

I’ve tasted it in sharp contractions
Copper boiled straight past olfaction
And onto my own boiling tongue

A wilderness is coming
A wilderness is coming

~

And I’ve watched the sky reach down
To touch the mountains over town,
And they were taken
With fire and snow and mud

I’ve heard it in the echoes growing louder than our voices
No matter how we shout into the din

I’ve seen the ravens come down from the mountain to cull the weak
And half of us were gone.

And I’ve thought it in the thoughts of men
Who search the low and high
Knowing the stars do hold their answers
But not knowing how to read the sky

Oh, a wilderness is coming
A wilderness is coming
…

Cedar Bozeman, montana

These sounds live in a place between melody and drone, soundscape and song; between field recordings of wind, and rivers of distortion and noise. Richly textured, emotive, horrific, and deeply personal.
