The Harvest

I proceed with the open
pouring seeds while I'm walking
let me drive you to the countryside
spend the night with me
filled my life like a garden with flowers
your blackened tears
dare you to look at me with those eyes and
go chase after thee
can I get you out of my head?
your figure's sight depriving
can you shoot this colourful bird?
sleep has long forsaken me
yearning for the harvest time
Gaia's high on empathy
sinking in the deepest mine
shut the door behind me
exploding sun, oh let me glow
exploding sun, oh let me glow
exploding sun, oh let me glow
exploding sun, oh let me glow

Ever Lasting

I see you all as you come in trance
I'll feel your beat if you give me a chance
you're in the wrong time, in the wrong age
holding hands or scanning x-rays
with the right kind of eyes
with the right kind of taste
with the right kind of love
with the right kind
I've been changing ships, I've been changing trains
from the highest tops to the calmest bays
using all forms to communicate
holding hands or scanning x-rays
with the right kind of eyes
with the right kind of taste
with the right kind of love
with the right kind of hate
with the right kind of eyes
with the right kind of taste
with the right kind of try
you can have a taste

In the reefs I left your heart girl
In the reefs I felt you so
saw you dancing by the moonlight
glowing back
and the moon shines on the trail end
by desert fires
I saw places from a season
when I got you hypnotised
as I travelled from the mountains
took me years to find the shores
and discover the foundations
'for I knock up on your doors
I saw people chased like outlaws
I saw tearful children's eyes
all they asked for was a shelter
from the cruelty of times
in the days after the rampage
she took my hand and said "let's hide"
to a city in the ocean bed
thriving deep below the tide
I remember being born there
but my memories all dry
(she) put a gun under my pillow
for the king that had to die
in the reefs where waves are breaking
in those reefs you crushed me whole
when I found my way and showed up
in the lands that you control
now these highway patrol men
see me riding up to north
once again I play the drifter

time to turn on the town lights, babe
in the night of your eyes
skin as white as the milky way
hope you had just one more day, to stay
longing times in the lands of you
all my pains put aside
magnetised, craving more and more
for the secrets you hide
while twilight still covers us
gonna get some more wine
don't you see girl I fall for you?
don't you see that you're mine?
longing times in the lands of you
all my pains put aside
magnetised, craving more and more
for the secrets you hide

The Drought

quench my thirst young woman
this drought's been here too long
soothing, blatant bravery
unwillingly prolonged
this bond is strong
the fears you spawned
the crust reforms
quench my thirst young woman
and lead me to the place
where sun engilds the mountains
and water flows through plains
this bond is strong
the fears you spawned
the crust reforms
a circle

Ephemeral Joys
03:27
|

|
first she made monsters leave the cave
like the waters of a tidal wave
made 'em wanna take a last breath
even speed limit drinks to death
since the sunset of golden days
I invited her to my maze
she drove me through hell and from the kingdom of noise
to the celebration of ephemeral joys
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow
she's the one from the sun to the moon glow

by the abandoned huts, up on a barren shore
black grains and limestone meet, still burning underneath
bearing a rizzared face, a horde of weary men
humming a hopeless prayer for rain to come again
there's a favonian scent, remnant of northern winds
horizon drops a veil upon the highest cliff
where from a cave I stand and watch the changing forms
and as the sunset comes, I witness perfect storms
I remain to be unseen
I remain to be unseen
come and rise from the sea and fall
come rise from the sea and fall
come rise from the sea and fall
come rise from the sea and fall
come rise from the sea and fall
come rise from the sea and fall
come rise from the sea and fall
come rise from the sea and fall

The Beautiful
04:59
|
|||
|
lazing in the sun rising haze
take a look above the river
gimme one and drive the flame
off your heart and show me miracles
in the ruffle time I saw
(you) throwing novels in the raindrops
come inside and teach me how
to make a city in the bedroom

Black Sand
06:10
|

|
in the black sand, I tried to drain you
ooh when you go, I feel the heavy hours
hooks rip the bed, while I want you
digging up bones of loves long left behind
in the black sand, I tried to hear you
but you mislead me through the void of time
in the black sand, tried to burn you
stones melt and mud exploded in the sky

Simply beautiful. Tear jerking, chilled but purposeful. Love this so much

supported by 38 fans who also own “Wild Ferment”
By far I'd say this is the best album I've listened to in the last 5 years. Each song has its own story to tell whilst definitely getting stuck in your head. 11/10 Guys keep up the good work 🤙 (also great to listen to whilst high or on acid)

riza
by Villagers of Ioannina City
supported by 37 fans who also own “Wild Ferment”
As a Frenchman, I discovered VIC very late (2019-2020). I fell in love with Age Of Aquarius. Well, I have to say: I love Riza even more. If you love Greece (I've been there 4 times), you'll love VIC: a rock marked by traditional Greek music and instruments.
go to album
Kansas City trio Flooding draw out the more mystical qualities of slowcore and noise rock for a heavy sound that's less stony than doom.
go to album
Hypnotic and droney psychedelic kosmische beamed in from another planet (Portugal/Ireland.) Get into it.
go to album
Fuzz-smeared carefree garage rock with a summer road trip vibe. Orange and blue cassettes if you're quick.

supported by 36 fans who also own “Wild Ferment”
How lucky of me to find this band, and what a shame it took them 8 albums for me to find them. In particular, I love the swagger/frivolity of their playing. Also the delicacy of the guitarist on some tracks (reminds of Stone Rebel at times) Fav track: I am the beyonder
