Ghosts of christmas past Ghosts of summer past Ghosts Ghosts of the West Bank Ghosts of Alabama Ghosts of Montana Ghosts of Adriana Ghosts of the Adriatic The Ghosts of the dogmatic Ghosts of the ellipse Ghosts of the eclipse eclipse, eclipse No peace No peace Ghosts of the mountain range Ghosts of the interior The past is never dead The past is never dead The past Is never dead It's never dead It's not even past It's not even past It's not even past It's not even past It's not even past The past is never dead The Ghosts of Nunavut Tatamagouche Ghosts of Unamaki Ghosts of chibuctuk The ghosts of Indianapolis The ghosts of Philadelphia The ghosts of Richmond Virginia The ghosts of Richmond Virginia Stuck in space Not on the ground Drilling and sawing electric Something beautiful is coming We're upgrading 32 stories of hell Stuck in space Not on the ground Yearning for another time Not waiting Another day in here In here What do I wanna say to you? Depends on who I'm talking to Surprise from the gas attendants She didn't need anyone Yearning for another day The day is lax A place that has nothing A place that has nothing Another place that has nothing Not a place that has nothing for me A cold wind A cold wind blows Broken Broken computer A cold wind blows Nothing for me A cold wind blows Nothing for me Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing for me for me for me for me for me for me Nothing for me

War Ships 07:36
Deep in the dark Depths of despair Deep in the dark After hours Depths of despair Row, row upon row Few hours remain See the faces In the veil of memory In the crepuscule of dark When the glow is dimmed And the nightshade Seeps in through the window On a dreary On a dreary drooping limb shorn of leaves short on ideas Lost in the harbour Through the mist Soft glow of oil ships Soft glow of oil rigs Soft glow of oil rigs Soft glow of war ships Soft glow of oil rigs Soft glow of war ships Soft glow of oil rigs Soft glow of war ships J'ai ton santé et ton bien-être à coeur Je tiens fort Oh, un soulagement J'arrache mes dents Je coupe la ligne Je me mets au four Pour ni transferer mes poids ni adhèrer à la loi And I spy the gas containers on the far shore I spy the gas containers on the far shore I spy the gas containers on the far shore

about

"Magicmouth is the latest release from David Parker's multi-tentacled creature called Slow Man Tofu. Where his previous tape, Steer, was anchored in rock and folk songwriting with a occasional forays into freer-form experimentation, Magicmouth abandons all conventions of song structure and instead floats on extended and effected guitar improvisations, layered with synthetic tones and dubby, echoey half-singing. David allows his slow paths to wander uninhibited, resulting in an expansive collection of tracks that moves between drone, doom, noisy free improv, and ambient music. Do you sleep? When you sleep, do you dream? When you dream, do you know that you are dreaming?"
-Lucas Huang, of Old Haunt
