Save me again
the only way
there is no end
to the building of
The 6th street bridge and its songs
that float around
longing to be heard
still waiting to be found
Out come on it’s not
so terrible
when you keep driving
nowhere no plan
Check it out there’s nothing to
lose yourself inside your head
break some records break a sweat
before you’re fuckin dead
Oh is it true?
too late too far
away to hold
you in my sights
Swinging wildly
I will eventually
land a punch I will
not lose the thrill
Of joining you
somewhere that’s old
dark, musty and
on fire
The tangerine hues across the sky
will bring the emotion back
to the desert brush you off again
with these threats of death to all…
the doubt that there is an answer to
the questions burning you
Breaking down is hard to do
when you’re built this perfectly
‘round the moon hangs alone
shining everywhere you won’t....
look for the answer to
the questions burning you
concerning love of selfish anonymity
You’re here again
the black between
you and the stars

29 Palms
about
Recording Lapse commenced on January 1st, 2022, following a lively New Year’s Eve at the Out There bar in 29 Palms. Nursing a rare hangover, I welcomed guitarist Robby, fresh from LA, into my mother’s desert house amidst much excited barking from my pit bull Thurmon and producer/engineer Bill’s pit/lab mix Maggie. Over the next few months, this record took shape, inadvertently paying homage to Idaho’s past, largely influenced by my collaboration with Robby — whom he humorously refers to as the “Steely Dan model.” Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, Robby reached out to me on Instagram and offered his assistance in completing the demo snippets I was sharing online... Every record since 'Hearts of Palm' (2000) has been more of a solo effort so the synergy of collaboration is a cool thing to have back in the fray. The high desert setting lent its voice to this LP… how could it not? The colors, textures and endless sky sunsets. Thank you mother Lynda for letting us desecrate your sanctuary for the good part of ’22. The large living room afforded us a chance to spread out, get loud and let the sound waves develop the way they should. As fate would have it, Bill had to depart, leaving me with the task of mixing the album alone. I often wonder if a professional could have achieved a better result, but nevertheless, I take pride in finally breaking Idaho’s dry spell.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
