lyrics
Strong endeavors with the weather
Tether me to a thousand balloons
so I can fly.
To work up the nerve
to deserve my inertia,
to churn up a force
that'll harness not hurt ya,
I need the mind of an engineer,
I need the mind of an engineer.
Otto Lilienthal,
his artificial hills,
were conical, and beautiful,
but could kill the devil.
Leveled up against the draft,
with wings a spread
from weeks of math,
and measurements and marks were mapped,
by led, with bevel.
The trouble was to stay in tact,
his weight, it played a hefty fact,
for anything would sink like that,
even a pebble.
Even a pebble.
He was heavier, heavier, heavier, heavier
heavier-than-air.
Heavier, heavier, heavier, heavier
heavier-than-air.
Heavier, heavier, heavier, heavier
heavier-than-air.
Air….air….air….
In all honesty,
he had promised me
the adventure of the century.
Had his attempts of discovery
not ended tragically….
"Sacrifices must be made"…..

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

Washington DC celloist & multi-instrumentalist with a reflective, experimental but accessible collection of ambient songs. Great use of vocals as an instrument to match the synths & cello. Just listen to my favourite track, it gives you a great idea of the sonic treat you're in for. agutterfan
UK singer-songwriter Alex Pester perfects his homespun baroque pop on an vast, largely home-recorded LP that finds elegance in simplicity. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 3, 2021

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
