A Green, Hollowed Isle
02:09

Greetings
From this green and hollowed isle.
It’s one version of forever,
Newly dismissed
And becoming unfit.
Identify yourself,
Name your other.
The year is incomplete;
Build it
And they’ll run.
It’s a flaw show,
The places that rebellion goes
On a walk through the screen
On the first day of new tradition.
Under the stream of your faltering back-steps,
Another switch
Will soon be thrown.

Small Travels

Small travels
On the day after I crash-land my thirties.
This thousand-fold Eden
With no-one checking its arithmetic.
One promise I’ll make you now:
You’ll never have to win.
Small travels,
This thousand-fold Eden,
No one checking its sums.
This thousand-fold Eden –
One promise I’ll make you now –
With no-one checking its arithmetic:
You never have to win.

Broken Play
01:24
|

|
Love and its lookalikes
On her nails,
Broken play in her shadow:
This monsoon wedding
Functions to fiction.
There’s no need to preach a case,
Or devote to non-believers.
Out of the running,
The sex is silent.
So watch your friends through this time,
So watch your friends through:
The sex is silent.

An Everyday Dance
02:46
|
|||
|
Everybody’s dancing
And no-one enjoys it.
You have to know the money,
The disgrace is in the trade.
The disgraces in the trade
Will be the last thing I hear,
But those stories
Resist their telling.
You have to know the money:
Everybody’s dancing
And no-one enjoys it.
The disgrace is in the trade.

Tainted Streams
01:25
|

|
The tainted streams:
Enjoyable or informative,
Always corrosive.
It’s bleeding Hell,
As spoken by anyone,
A hundred percent back-up
And still forgetting.
Here we are in early agreement,
And making it cheap.
Any table for two
Any table for two
And it’s warm enough to be called out:
That was your scrap,
Your morsel,
Your unwanted remains.

Improper Dreams
02:22
|

|
Dreamt improperly,
Old habits will die.
Old habits will die,
Loudly.
We’re walking,
Walking away from the mess we made
With more –
Far more –
Than I can carry.
If our time together
Wasn’t enough to trick me;
If our time together
Wasn’t enough to trip me over;
If our time together
Wasn’t enough to tip me,
Getting away will be.
Walking away from the mess we made,
Old habits will die.
Old habits will die,
Loudly.

AmberHours recommends:
This is one of those rare albums where everything fits together seamlessly. The performances are excellent; production is shiny without being showy and the songwriting is very, very strong.

This is my favourite Grouper opus. It's concise without being rushed. Also, the space between the musical notes and the vocal harmonies really is a breath of fresh air. Love it!
