Morning Garden 04:00
lyrics

Steady Seein life on the outside Not ready To go along with the program It’s not about that Never was in your home You found an outlet But you won’t change how it’s done In your morning garden The gold and the glisten In your morning garden You go there to listen Never know where the sun's gone Look out longer, barking dogs echo Weigh out What you had thought and not said Feeling bad enough then To sit down a long stead To go where it glistens In your morning garden You go there to listen (Your garden listens back) Give me back a handle Call me on the phone Give me back a handle on my life Give me all your vitriol Call me all the words Give me back a handle on my life

Karpet Knight 03:14
lyrics

Tell me where to run Tell me where to hide How can I be here But not by your side Let me down Easy now For all the other times I stayed I wished I could go Riverbanks of RVA Somewhere deeper in my mind Let me down Easy now Settle down Stay around You want my advice take it Chalk it up to better luck and say goodnight Fake it like a carpet knight The other day I woke from a strange dream In a strange time My mother was younger I was older in the house on Duquesne Drive Nobody left inside Burned out all the lights In the dead of night The dead of night I woke up myself again You were layin' there Wrapped in a sea of purple hair I knew that it all would be alright Fake it like a carpet knight

lyrics
buy track
Feel sad Feelin apart from your plans Maybe I want that Seen as a fallen man Taken upon faith Sit in the palm of your hand I'll never come back Seen as a fallen man Fisheye Green light You say you want that Pump up the volume and dance You wanna go back It's easy to fall in one camp

Stay Alive 02:25

How big is a rain cloud What ya gonna do How big is a rain cloud Can you make it through Everything I knew Is something I lost Written on a page line Now I sing to feel right Mostly uptight Mostly stay inside Inside On my best nights On my best I stay alive Stay alive

about

A lonely, isolated closet. Cables and wires. The pulse of a drum machine. “I’ve wanted to make heavy, loud music for a long time…” says John King. The artist, like many artists, adapting to a new way of doing things; forced by the shutdown to improvise alone. His frame hung over an electric guitar, his long hair casting shadows on the strings. DIIV on one shoulder. Chastity on the other. Kurt Vile is in there somewhere as well. “I didn’t have a concept…” he continues. “…just sort of a gut feeling”.
It’s been a long, strange musical journey for King, taking him from Canton, Ohio to Mexico to the backwater town of Killbuck to a solitary bedroom closet where his newest project was born. “I just murmured weird sounds into the microphone for hours on loop”. He made an EP of music, one layer at a time, rocking out against the impeding chaos of a pandemic. “Dealing with the brink of desperation,” is how King puts it. The murmurs, the improvisation, the songs slowly took shape, while never sacrificing their looseness. They move about, like sounds bottled in a lava lamp, fluid, wild and beautiful, straight from the bedroom closet. His own private Shame Chamber.
