Simon Meader Superb album with great memorable tunes and a ballsy production which really suits the band and these songs. Congratulations 10/10 Favorite track: Liberated Steel.

toutkurtz ‘Sea’ finds Eastbourne’s finest confidently embracing a richer, more subtly textured sound than on previous offerings, while Dave Davies' guitar is also far more prominent in the mix, achieving a ringing clarity on the solo to ‘Liberated Steel’ and the lacerating riff that powers the disquieting ‘Fire’. From bouncy, mid-tempo numbers such as ‘Taj’ to the gentler introspection of ‘Colourful’ this is another lovingly crafted blend of distinctive compositions that will entice you back repeatedly. Favorite track: No Season.

Falling 04:36
Looking out for our old wheels They’re headed west Not every silver machine can be you But I won’t believe That I’ve missed you Until I get home Until I get home alone On good days I feel numb But in between it cuts so bad Sharpen your cleaver please My ribs they can take no more But you don’t see And you won’t feel Cos you don’t hear a thing But I’ve missed you And you missed me A long time out in the cold Now I’m falling, I’m falling against my advice And I’ll follow you back to your room I’m falling, I’m falling Those years spent below I’ll fall you in love with me

Fire 05:17
Take my dead skittish dog And give his cold body back to me At least now he’s free From the silent macabre They say my pain will help me grow Right now it’s all I know It’s all I hear, it’s all I see It’s eating up what’s left of me There’s nothing to scare you anymore No crackle of flame to wood This scares me, this scares me Plenty more, so much more Your every twitch my call to arms Body ready for each alarm Whether it be you afraid Whether it be you dismayed I lay my tears in heavy snow Given way to your easy spring Scattered ashes in the woods, today I wait for our next burning dance Your fire grows cold

Feet 03:47
Street side windows wear me thin I hate you now like I loved you then I’m reduced and tearful like before And I am not okay Stand so I can breathe again As I’m Jesus to the most of them As I lie here I remember when It was just okay The fires burned out by morning Extinguished by the sun Roses, smoke and lawmen Holding guns I hope they’ll all remember when Their children all stood up to them And threw back what was thrown at them And we were so proud Cameras twist it round and round How they knelt before they mowed you down And that red vest kid is grown up now And yes he is okay Are words on cardboard louder Than opinionated men Stand up to your fathers Stand up with your friends

Dynamite 03:40
Oh no, blocked roads to your home Dead trees, deep snow I drive home alone these days Dear dynamite, I pray you’re alright Dear dynamite, you’re not forgotten God bless those Firestones And dually trucks Get through this snowstorm The road speaks through you with lies A stereotypical sinner Dead soul, cold hearted schemer

Someone wearing my skin Did all those things I was not there Despite the photographs They said never say never But I could never agree With myself, or anyone This was the last time round For the gently reckless What difference Does a day make How much can change in a turning round I’m perfectly unready for the other side Wish i was a sunny dream Trade darkness strike a light This was the last time round For the gently reckless Glowing ember, burning bright Lights our way through day, through night Glowing fierce, growing strong A leading light, a shining star You blaze a trail, make your mark Do not fade into the dark Without your radiance close by Late winter leaves us cold

And there are blinds, although you’ll never need them Dim the lights, absorb the shadows I feel safe behind these broken windows Convince myself that I was born to fly I feel a change has come As if my sentence was wrong Our talks flowed like art While they tore us apart I think of truth, I think of liberated steel Well-oiled tales that never touch the ground Unbox my thoughts, your eyes they penetrate my soul It’s just a shame there’s only half of me to know I feel a change has come As if my sentence was wrong Our talks flowed like art While they tore us apart There are words about proportionate regret And these are fights that we haven’t had yet I hold your hand and pray you’ll never grow old That’s a dream we’ve just been sold I feel a change has come

No Season 04:04
Stand and soak Laugh and undress In the pre-dawn before you go Sleep in eiderdown Populate this place With those things you know Those things you know Smell of wet roads Foliage unkempt Scent of sun on a brown-skinned arm Friend, incarcerate No way of knowing When you might be home When you’re coming home There is no season That is right for your return There is no season We’ll wait, uncertain Today you left Ushered out by the ones who care, but cannot care for You move slowly A triumph of sharp mind What must you think now That you’re leaving home You’re leaving home There is no season That is right for your return There is no season We’ll wait, uncertain Friend, incarcerate No way of knowing When you might be home

Taj 03:53
Cities in the dark And there’s lights up on the hill Candles kiss your shoulder Lone stars, draw my gaze Though the light it leads to you It’s just another movie Lack of sleep consumes my energy It’ll always be my fault It’s just fires emerging heat It’s just fires that never start Stoned out of my blues Just echoes of a lesson learned It’s my heart that won’t be tamed I’m lonesome without you I’m a little short of beautiful And I’ve heard what someone said Just not what they meant I’m just glad I’m waterproof

Kimchi 04:43
I see you there blue jean tattoo I see you there southern talker I see you out on 129 And there’s no way through for you Downeast, we call them the pickup police When you’re downeast, you get stopped by the truck police Turn your truck I’ve made up my mind We’ve gotta keep it calm, gotta keep it quiet We don’t need your badge tonight And there’s no way through for you There’s locals on 129 And they’ve been pulled by the truck police And there’s no way through for you Staring my way Skidompha

Colourful 04:10
If I were a child I would mouth colourful Just to see the look on your face Because this is not as it should be This So let the loneliness in Let the loneliness in Oh so surrounded On a busy empty Dreams will hold it Together now you’re not here Keep my pieces in a box Arrange them in order To make a good one Make these lazy bones decide Where to turn and who to turn to And let the loneliness in Oh so surrounded Hold it tight Why did I let you go The fool is me The fool is you We are Do you all feel the same Does the song make you whole again
