Asteroid's Keeper The audio equivalent of getting a loving, caring hug after a long cry and then going peacefully to bed,
knowing that you'll be better tomorrow. A short, yet beautifully fulfilling album. Favorite track: SoHo.

Sea Spells 03:33
all of my life, I’d stave off my sleep and lie awake wishing some sweet magician would transfigure me and the rest of my time, a beautiful breeze that none would bring harm to, nor would they want to, to this lovely machine in my dreams I see her still, she speaks in tongues, dissolves at will can anyone break a spell they put on themselves? steady your hand, and wait for your cue smile on command, dear, they don’t understand you like I do through halogen days, and deepest of blues I’ll follow your gaze, dear there’s so many ways here to carry the news

Moonless 02:57
So full of fear and I don’t know why I shake and shake and I stomp and I sneer and I wait and I wait I’m awake, I’m awake on a moonless night I know the end is near, we’re gonna burn so bright on a witch’s stake I tear the name from my beer and I wait and I wait I’m awake, I’m awake on a moonless night

SoHo 04:38
who would ever call this fun, running on an endless drone a color wheel for everyone color wheel for everyone staring at the midday sun every tenant disavowed thoughts you never said out loud tell them how it all works out, there’s nothing here to worry about now back into the faceless crowd everything I’m dreading: SoHo on the weekend a jacket for a wedding I don’t want to be in I wanna feel alright. I’m faded, dematerialized swimming in a sea of light, I’m swimming in a sea of light I’m floating on an awful high silver sun setting on SoHo on the weekend there’s something I’m forgetting, theres something that I needed something I’m forgetting…

Ghostwood 04:12
can you recall this was the time for tying one on for telephone lines now morning just brings unbearable light the hot shower steam, the laces to tie I’ve got a joke I think you would like but what do I know, when am I right? I’ll turn down the blinds, batten the sheets be still my mind, be kind my dreams and now that you know how the hours turn to days, now that you know, does it change? all of these turns, made in your sleep and all of my words that don’t do a thing and I’ve got a trick I think you should try but what do I know, when am I right? and now that you know how the hours turn to days now that you know, does it change? you want love, I want love, oh I want everything

about

"Drawing their mood from alt. rock masters like Weezer or The Pixies, Spence sings the bittersweet feeling of a soul looking for true emotions and belonging in a bogus existence" - Gold Flake Paint

"When lead singer Shay Spence sings there’s a sense of cold hard emotion, as if previous suppression has her sharp lyrics bubbling to the surface" -BuffaBlog

"The enthralled sentiments that revolve around the notion of “I want to feel alright” are met with a series of introspection sections that mull over the inward fleeting sentiments where introverted & extroverted aspects collide in an explosion of spinning city lights." - IMPOSE

"As a group, they've mastered the art of both sonic and emotional build-up and release..." - The Deli

"The songs drift effortlessly from slacker-rock to post-punk.." - The Alternative

"Its perfect balance of cheer and chide, may just be the perfect antidote for your weary, chipper-saturated soul.” —Bedford & Bowery

“Brings to mind throwback 90s outfits along the lines of Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement, and (most importantly) is utterly infectious.” —All Things Go
