Mountains of sand melted down for us to see through
Through to who?
Splinters of wood make the paper on which I write to you
Truly
Fields of sugar cane boiled up and wrapped in silver
How you like it
Water springs from the mountain see it shimmer at the market
Early
I sing my sweet tooth away
Fix a stare on the burgeoning light
Drive this sentence into the day
I will arrive feeling heavy but I'll be okay
Impulses flow like blue beetles on a highway
Carrying the
Code of my will through my limbs and out my fingers
Riding on my
DNA

If a tree falls I want to hear it
On the forest floor, I get down
Down I get dirty
But I never feel cleaner
Than when I'm in the undergrowth
I can see my breathing
I'm alone and my thoughts are nothing
Over rocks and between the giants
I hear a lyre call and I know
I'm in the best of company
Circling the mountain
I want to stay for a year at least
I could go wild, wander out eventually
When I'm done let me become part of the undergrowth

PENDULUM
Pendulum moods swings
Quick unpick my feelings
How'd you move so fast
With that plaster cast?
I haven't said a word to anyone
I haven't said a word to anyone
I haven't said a word but I've done my sums
And I know what's coming up
Radiating love
Please don't kill my buzz
How'd you get so smart
With that broken arm?
I haven't said a word to anyone
I haven't said a word to anyone
I haven't said a word but I've done my sums
And I know what's coming up
Pendulum mood swings

Faded Denim

Living in my faded denim now
If I could talk my way out of this shell
Gamma rays could go right through me
I wouldn't know, I would not notice if
Certain death were out to get me
I would hope that you know me well enough
Not to bring it up
Living in my faded denim now
And I dream of dinner dates and how
Everything is now or never
Oh no, can you slow it down?
You're gently silhouetted
You're a glow, a vision in the night
Man, you gave me such a fright
Living in my faded denim now
With a view to elevating out
Living in my faded denim now
If I could talk my way out of this shell
Gamma rays could go right through me
I wouldn't know, I would not notice if
Certain death were out to get me
I would hope that you know me well enough
Not to bring it up

In the Shade

SHADE
In the shade, I'm protected
It keeps me from the heat
I think I had too much
When I was young
We never gave a thought to the sun on our skin
In a way, it's a burden
I want to run outside and play
Without the routine bearing down
I don't want plans once in a while c'mon let's escape
Now the shadows are dancing on our walls
Moving in time as the daylight draws
It's another dimension to our lives
If we could only see through our silhouettes eyes

Honey

HONEY
Here it comes: the swirling ghost
Curls around sweet honeycomb
I have turned my defenses off
In a trance, I forfeit all
Silence the alarm
The hand is reaching in
Through smoldering calm
It's taking all of our hard work
I could use my wings but I won't
I could use my sting but I don't
Passive we are to the thief from above
How many times is enough?
After it is gone
We will start again
It's all we've ever know
The end is our beginning

All I Can See

ALL I CAN SEE
All I can see from here
Is all that I need to know
I'm not a time keeper
Here on the quick side of slow
I waited I waited I waited
As long as I could
Maybe afraid I was sorely mistaken
But oh I knew it could be so good
Didn't it feel a little shaky
When you were in that room
You thought the earth was quaking
Some kind of deep down doom
I waited, I waited, I waited
For you to come round
Hunching your shoulders
Are storm in your aura but
Oh I held you down too your very last words
I waited I waited I waited
As long as I could
Maybe afraid I was sorely mistaken
But oh I knew it could be so good

Aerial Sister

AERIAL SISTER
No call today from my aerial sister
I'm just a regular Joe
All of the chords that were ringing sympathetic
Turned down low
Where is the feeling that the undertow will get me?
Maybe I'm full to the brim
Dreamers in the valley draw a cloud of consolation
And I breathe it in
I would contrive lightning if I could
Lately, I've been waiting on my friendly apparitions
Longer than I would like
Why do they vanish when my fingers close around them
Out of sight
I never wanted to be anybody's sunbeam
Lay me back down in the dirt
Tell me all your troubles and I'll sing them to the slaters
Make me hurt
Wading in dry ice, eyes wide open
Keep me far away from restfulness
Agitate myself to life
There's no comfort in the silence I find
Finally a shadow from the wings is all revealing
One cuckoo she did fly
Alchemy will come to me when all the hay is burning
Make me write

Talking is Overrated

TALKING IS OVERRATED
I want to lay down on the carpet
That's where the sense is
That's what I'm after
Not like, not like standing here
Upright is overrated at best
That light, that light's hurting my eyes
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
I want to fall into the fabric
Where I might find
Some kind of logic
Not like, not like waiting here
Talking is overrated at best
That word, that word's caught in my throat
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying but oh
I want to lay, just want to lay

Field of My Future

FIELD OF MY FUTURE
I've got a habit of wondering
If someone had told me what lay
Out in the field of my future
I might have grown a little pale
Some of my friends from school days
They've already left this world
We could never have imagined
What was coming for that girl
And I'm scared of what might be coming
When you think that you're turning away
Just when you round the corner
It was waiting there for you anyway

Friend

I emerge at 7
From the folds of my dreams
Finer points forgotten but
The feeling's got a hold on me
Make it to the table
And I know what you're all thinking
Messages are flying
And the lights are all blinking
There's a limit
There's a limit to what I can take in
I'm making sense of what I can
In a minute
I'll be lost to the modern failing
I feel unable to push it away
Like I want to
Twist my arm 'til it hurts
my eyes have turned red
How do I make this work with the idea
That I have in my head
There's a code there's a rhythm
To what comes up on the side
I feel like something is missing
Is it you? Is it me? Is it mine?
There's a limit
There's a limit to what I can take in
I'm making sense of what I can
In a minute
I'll be lost to the modern failing
I feel unable to push it away
Like I want to
And I need to
Push it away
Yes I want to
And I need to
Push it away
Yes I want to

With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive.

Sophomore release of gentle, spaced-out, folk music with a slightly tropical edge, from a trio out of Chicago.

Just a masterfully made and performed Pop Rock LP with psychedelic flavors and an exotic vibe. Lovely music for walking or driving at night around the outskirts of your city.
