Travis Button Just another on the ever evolving list of Matty Barker projects, this one being quite unique. One day I will think I have all of his recordings until I find out he has yet another project I didn't know about. It's like a treasure hunt finding all this gold. Favorite track: Hands.

Prison 05:22
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

Southside 04:26
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.

Hands 03:32
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

Gypsy 05:50
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...

Death Song 04:52
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!

about

In September 2011, we set out from our apartment in New York to record this EP in a tiny log cabin in Höör, Sweden. Our Gypsy Family came from Stockholm, Copenhagen and Dresden to join us and over five days we wrote, played, drank, ate, laughed and cried under the full moon as we made the album.

Heartbreakingly, we lost the files after the recording, and were never able to properly mix...so therefore it's presented live, unmixed and unmastered.

From these broken hands.
