Take a while and think it out
To get a grip, and wring it out
The last I’d heard they promised you
A slate that’s clean, a path that’s true
And no one knows the way home
No one ever says
“Im just as lost as anyone,
No hint of a clue of what’s to come
How can I be where I am?
Isn’t every other man
Left to wander like me?
Just a leaf in the breeze…”
A bit of time and follow through
That nervous kid that follows you
The one who wears your shadow’s shoes
Had always feared but never knew
That no one knows the way home
No one ever says
“Im just as lost as anyone,
No hint of a clue of what’s to come
How can I be where I am?
Isn’t every other man
Left to wander like me?
Just a leaf in the breeze…”
How can I be where I am?
Left with two broken limbs on which to stand
Oh I’m serious, you wonder
If I’ve got your paper
But I don’t think it matters
who my pockets know

This EP was part of the "Bandcamp no-fee package" I've purchased on May 1st, 2020. This stunning work reminds me a bit of another interesting "generation project", created by Damon Shulman, which features his father and "Gentle Giant" co-founder Phil Shulman narrating some funny stuff, embedded in his own music. Gavin Castleton's songwriting is superb once again, sometimes getting real close to Brian Wilson's best classics. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
That's my bald head on the cover! Obviously, I had to get the vinyl as a very neat memento. Fantastic album. It's been on repeat for a month, now. Very good setlist, and it flows very well. Fun fact: the recording is not even from the show this picture was taken at! scottr90
The new album from L.A.’s Wayne Everett leans heavily into shimmery California pop, songs centered around beatific melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2020
David Bridie’s “The Wisdom Line” pairs stark, poetic lyrics with hushed, minimal instrumentation, recalling groups like Tindersticks. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2019
