about
In September 2011, we set out from our apartment in New York to record this album in a tiny log cabin in Höör, Sweden. Our Gypsy Family came from Stockholm, Copenhagen and Dresden to join us and over four days we wrote, played, drank, ate, laughed and cried under the full moon as we made the album.
Having spent every cent we had and sold everything we owned to make this record, we've been unable to release the final mixed product. For months we've sat on it, trying to raise money, trying to find a way to do it, until finally we've come to the conclusion that we'll just release it as is. Raw, untouched, unmixed. Scratchy vocals with some big breaths, guitar buzz, what sounds like a cigarette lighter...Just the live recording, how it was when we were there, and if y'all like it and wanna buy it, then we'll continue to do everything we can to get it out there.
So here it is, from us to you.
From these broken hands.

Soul
can’t be bought
and later sold
when the pain gets old
for the price of gold
Love
always pays
the higher toll
when the pain gets old
on the darkest road
But there’s a light
in the midnight sky
if the hand you hold
has a heart of gold
Your life
is filled with
angels of light
though they never show
you ain’t on your own
Time
ain’t just made
for getting by
so that when you die
oh you don’t know why
But there’s a light
in the midnight sky
if the hand you hold
has a heart of gold - Track Name: Prison
-
Father
I let you down
Mother
I let you down
Lover
I let them go
Covered
Six Foot below
I’ve been captured by Love
And if my lover cries
should I close my eyes
and Hope
that she’s been damaged enough
Father
I let you down
Mother
I let you down
Brother
I let them go
Smothered
Ten Years I know
I’ve been captured by Love
And if my lover cries
should I close my eyes
and Hope
that she’s been damaged enough - Track Name: Southside
-
There's a storm that's breaking
without a sound
in a Southside room
and the walls are shaking
as I come down
in a dead quiet mood
And when I'm knocked out
you pick me up and we fight another round
and if I'm not mistaken
we've gone to ground
in a red, white blue.
Is there so much aching
in this town
that you can't move
or are you all just faking being down
are you afraid to bloom?
And when you put me down
I'll lift you up as you buy another round
and though I'm as naked as a sad clown
the joke's on You. - Track Name: Gypsy
-
It was barely last winter when I stood alone
by my burned out dreams on the side of a dusted road
and yeah I'd seen it comin' it's just that I lost my way
as I thumbed out west past the mountains and the open plains...
And who have I become now I don't love no one
Who have I become, I've tried to love everyone
but them lights ain't little stars
they're oncoming trains and they're aiming straight for my heart
I've been lighting fires like some signal to
a woman that might just take pity on a one night fool
but in the morning I'm running from those love love locked eyes
got to find my way down old habit roads and lonesome signs... - Track Name: Trees
-
The willows on the water
hang down to play but feel
a cold misunderstanding
hung dried out like her tears
The widow's on the landing
her lover's buried near
and the trees are burning gladly
but I won't cry for you my love.
Your eyes reflect the water
a river of your fears
not dead but disillusioned
and savaged by your peers
Through the window left wide open
I spied your restless heart
now I will sing it gladly
but I won't cry for you my love. - Track Name: Death Song
-
I want to be
in a room by the sea
with your hands
touching mine singing.
We're all going to die...
'cause it's no surprise
that we're all gonna die
but tonight, it's alright
'cause we're all gonna die!
I want to see
my whole family
with no tears in their eyes
and no long and sad goodbyes
'cause it's no surprise
that we're all gonna die
but tonight, it's alright
'cause we're all gonna die!
I want to believe in God
or at least that I if I try
will become a star in the sky...
'cause it's no surprise
that we're all gonna die
but tonight, it's alright
'cause we're all gonna die!
