“ hello boys! ” the desert's warm, we know he's back his feet are sore, from years on the track starlit night, he has no friend summer heat, the days don't end with a wry smile he tips his hat he is who he is, we all know that gallons of water, on his back coming home, to lead the pack he is the merchant of it all he casts a shot: it is his call with a fast hand, he tips his hat this is the deal, we all know that of the magic art, he is the master catch his stare, your heart beats faster desert myth, twice once to give when he went, he had his life to live with a deadly grin, he tips his hat it all ends here, we all know that

i don't believe you i want to leave you but i'm scared of what i'll find my double vision my indecision i am not unkind i am the saviour you are miss behaviour i run away, i don't look back nothing is blue anymore, it's all gone black i am a badman some say i'm a madman i don't care what you think i don't belong i'm always wrong just you watch me sink i don't care if i'm unfair i'll take your hand, is it hot or cold is the road made of ice, or is it gold? i see a star are you who you are? i am afraid what if i fade into the night i am alone a complete unknown

Logic Dealer 02:32
a runway station, put on the brakes for acceleration all for one the divided nation, rainy day, a celebration at an early age, harness the power, confront your rage the whole world's a stage, scripted on a blank page can you feel her? can you steal her? the logic dealer. potato peeler a runway line, going forward back in time mist clouds shine, terrible pain, i feel fine nylon thunder, red to be under careful blunder, no miracles watch in wonder can you feel her? can you steal her? the logic dealer. potato wheeler fun in the rain pain in the sun can you steal her? can you feel her? the logic dealer. potato feeler

Rising Camp 02:58
in my head in the morning in my head at night in your bed in the afternoon; such delight you're my rising camp i smell your t-shirt i smell your hair i smell of alcohol; do you care? i'm your rising camp my arm is dead, my life begins nobody loses, we both win always by candle, never by lamp happiness here in my rising camp i lie in my mind i lie in codes i lie on your pillow; my heart explodes you're my rising camp i feel delighted i feel no shame i feel your warmth; never the same i'm your rising camp my arm goes dead, my life starts linking fingers, linking hearts i like the candle, i hate the lamp blissful peace in my rising camp

Tipper Truck 05:01
i don't want to see the moon yellow dish grabs a plastic spoon seen the moon, don't talk to me yellow tangerine on a killing spree i ate the moon, don't feel ill yellow crusader swallowed my pill kissed the moon, no tearful eye yellow stone, where was i? i wore the sun, it's not my size yellow burn gets in your eyes chased the sun, caught his tails yellow door, greeted by snails in the stars, a happy lunch break yellow pie, it was fake spied the stars through a tiny gap yellow stare, where on the map? i gripped the cloud it slipped away yellow castle, enjoy your stay rented the cloud, with a hop and a skip yellow truck, won't you tip?

Milkshake 02:30
a thousand people walking through a thousand mazes in my mind some know their destiny and others do not know what they will find but i can't help them cause i don't know where i should go myself right now a million voices screaming in a million different ways of speech most will fall on deaf ears but few might eventually reach i don't really want to understand you are getting far to deep, let me sleep a hundred different people produce at least a hundred different tears am i responsible surely not after all these years let me see you let me see your happy face, in case

about

Debut album, 2004 and 2009

It's not an electronica album - machines taking second place to guitar - but everything else checks the usual boxes - 'electronic', 'eclectic' and 'experimental' with an abundance of catchy alt. pop tunes. Overall they could be New Order's secret new folk direction, or even Graham Coxon doing PortaStudio electro. An album to track down.
