lyrics
This evening, the moon has blown herself to almost twice her size. She outshines the buses neon lights reflected in the windows. As we move on, she hides behind the skyline.
A young man in the street who sees me looking out of the window raises his hand as if he knew me. At the next station, two teenagers are wrapped tightly together in a long kiss. A man is sitting on the railing of a fountain, his face covered in his hands.
At the central station, the bus comes to a shaky stop. Some workers have removed a steel plate between the rails. A trackman wearing a bright orange boilersuit is sitting on the ground with his legs spread, a metallic shine in the immersion in front of him. In the glow of the working lamp, he looks like a boy left alone in the sandpit who forgot the time playing all by himself.
As the bus moves on, the moon comes into sight again, but has hidden behind a dark cloud carpet which she illuminates from behind with a pale blue light. The clouds grow thicker, darker, first grey, then black, and then the moon pulls away from the clouds, still huge, still bright and moves slowly towards a blank patch of sky as if she was swimming out into a large still lake.

HOW'd HE DO THAT?! Seriously, don't pass this up as a novelty album. This is solid, Dementio13-quality stuff.
go to album -
Wildly uncategorizable music from Cardiff full of fat synths, blissful vocal harmonies and hard-hitting beats.
go to album -
Simple yet experimental bedroom folk plays has the dirgey, pensive feel of very early Sufjan Stevens records.
