spicyinvalid Wowie Zowie! The album here is seriously incredible. A landmark of a record that is unfortunately way too far below the radar according to my standards and unbeknownst to many more, I'm sure. Upon hearing this work, your ears shall be graced with a surprisingly diverse range of auditory zeal; transitionary soul arrangements track to track; an incredible vocal delivery; lyrics penned and sung in such a way that compels one to listen closely – this duo is ace! Buy it. Favorite track: Thin Wall.

Revelry 04:28
It's so perilous working on the edge you're so eerily creeping down the bend and I feel like we're taking it over and we know that we're making up from poor memory Feel my clean perpetual motion as I drift up then over and out a cold revelry You're barreling, racing to the edge young feelings, do they want revenge? When it feels like we're living the omen when a beer stain has given me up a poor memory Let me reel in radiant slumber all my seeds sprouting over and out I wanna believe Something not for nothing hey, I caught your notion for the sunrise scene they patronize, criticize break out the blue light if you got the notion play some Billy Ocean for my sunrise scene They're quite surprised, can't deny mellow your pillow think zero sum Young caravan, welcome to your life Don't shriek away, it's right between your eyes

Well even Jesus struggled to play nice I promise from the bottom of my stones well even Jesus had to find sunlight through the hole Well even David swung with a sore hand my pride was drawing lines across your sand well even Jesus struggled to play nice, the man I never knew it could feel so bad I put up my dukes all ready I was born to last they were shouting well even Mary waited for daylight in the dark Will I seize that moment? will I roll up in rage? then remember how it feels to find love feel all his love through my fingers in my soul it lingers oh through my fingers that rise to heaven how much for love? I'm in love so high that I can almost turn the other cheek Then he shouted and if you don't find someone who plays nice, let it go cuz even Jesus struggled to play nice, let it go cuz even Jonah had to find sunlight through the hole cuz even Jesus struggled to play nice, let it go cuz even Jonah had to find sunlight, so get in
