The Battery 03:56
Halcyon days at the Cumberland Farms The car outside the fix we tried the battery The air we drew while pushing to your parents house parents house downstream And as the rain seemed to come from below I recall your voice You cried rejoice for either way our band had had some fun Our soggy shoes and some matzah ball soup A great unknown had gripped our bones and we had made we had made its match
2.
Collarbone 03:19
Chin clamping down on collarbone talking on the phone talking on the phone with the one who leaves you prone makes you feel so known makes you feel so known Even in the other room All the artful dodgers of the world long to rifle through your pearls rifle and unfurl But I don't mind if you stay veiled The gauze shows the detail Blows when you exhale Even in the other room
3.
Which one of us will be the next one to be married Which one of us will be the next to have one born I think of how your old home smelled in the heat of the summer When we were kids before we felt such distant drummers Drawing nearer to me And I'll say time is slow and all at once And I will say I feel is slipping through our teeth And you'll say it's time to behold your own fields And when you say that more is growing underneath I know you're right I'd rather be a rose than smell one spun in clover Youth like a fence holds back its groves chokecherries spooled around Whom will I haunt when I come back home with pieces missing Whom will I have when our days are steeped in reminiscing of all the ways we have been And I'll say that I feel empty like a drum And I will say a drum that's ready to be heard And you'll say you're like a candle in a drawer And when you say a candle ready to be burned I know your right You've got the same twisted teeth that your father did and his old grey eyes and I can tell I have the simple side of youth I know your right

Know By Feel 03:19
It's New England in the autumn and I'm counting all the brassy leaves that I can bring to you I've got seven red and three gold and I'm counting up enough to make a crown that will sit true I'll know by feel I'll know by feel There's a candle in the middle of our alter There's a candle there that's always burning blue And at times an opened door will make it falter but it oft recovers from the breath it drew It always heals It always heals What we all need is somebody to be weak with What we all need is a spark out from the hearth What we all need is the dry heat in the winter What we all need is a way to play a part We'll know by feel I'll know by feel
5.
Who is the unmade bed who's the ghost that haunts your house Who brings the dust in and is quiet as a mouse Steals like a magpie; taking keys and dropping dimes Sits in the other room while the morning cell phone chimes Somewhere in fireworks season you are dancing with our friends Dogs yip in panic as the latest display ends Though these are the dark times darling these are days of play Dance while the tides rise while the future comes on vague I am drifting out to deep edge of a dream edge of a dream Lay there on the cusp of sleep edge of a dream edge of a dream
6.
What's so funny I can't wait to see send it to me All enjoying and suffering beings want to be seen Comes like a dream but you can't wear it all It's the sight of your weakest tattoo you can't undo It's the ceiling of your old bedroom hung like a tomb Comes like a dream but you can't wear it all
7.
Your Guess 02:56
Make whatever plans you dare rain don't care rain don't Wind tousles your once kempt hair all is fair all is Hey do you see we are bound by degrees to wood From here I can see our house Make whatever plans you dare rain don't care
8.
Spangled Sun 02:57
Tarmac baked by the spangled sun somewhere out there Deer turn back halfway when the crossing's regrettable There is nothing that we'll never forget Won't you tell me what you want tell me what you want I'll try to want it too Don't be fueled by impossible fame and a hate for those who overlook you Don't be fueled by the death that is being forgettable There is nothing that we'll never forget
9.
Moon Views 03:21
High hangs the moon you can see it in your room Light it comes, light it slips right between your curtains ribs Shadow bend, shadow spread at the footboard of your bed Like a loose molars dare so your tongue keeps going there and it wiggles wide Time is fake, schedules real Fingers rapping on the wheel past the neons of town The sun goes up and they go down Still there is hope and there is fear Is it too provincial here and am I seen, am I heard every time I say a word would that be wise

about

The process of recording The Tines was a year of exploration and problem finding at Carlson’s studio, Sans Serif Recording. The songs were written one at a time and recorded while still fresh, often the day after conception. The goal was to let each song come out authentically and not get caught up in preconceptions of what the album was supposed to be. The resulting nine track record is full of variety and surprises while keeping the throughline of the players own unique fingerprints.
