lyrics
YOU AND I CONSTRUCTED BY
THE MOST ALOOF AND DEVIOUS INTENTIONS
WE SEPARATE DIVIDE AND WARP
AND RECOGNISE NOT A SINGLE THING WE SEE
WELL I DO NOT YEARN FOR THEIR MOST EXCLUSIVE OF SUGGESTIONS
OR SUBMIT TO THE MASTERS THAT YOU SERVE
BE NOT SURPRISED BY THE LACK OF YOUR EXPOSURE TO DIVERSIONS
ALL THE WATERS NEVER DIVED IN OR DISTURBED
WE’RE ALL ANIMALS ON AN ISLAND
ALL THOSE BROKEN BRIDGES SUBMERGED FOR MILES
SUFFOCATING IN THESE WIDE AND OPEN PRISONS
OFFERED DREAM TICKETS BY THOSE WITH ALLIGATOR SMILES
THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF UGLY OUT THERE
BEQUEATHED AS BEAUTY ONE MIGHT SAY
BY CURATORS AND CLOSET DICTATORS
NOT A STITCH OF THEIR TAPESTRIES DARE STRAY
WELL I’VE MOST OF ALL EXCELLED AT
PRETENDING TO BE A PERSON
ALL MY LIFE NEARLY EACH AND EVERY DAY
IN THE PHARMACIES AND THE BEHEMOTHS OF THOSE
FACELESS INTERVENTIONS
TWAS THE RED PILL I ONLY EVER CHOSE TO TAKE
EVERYTHING WAS GO UNTIL IT STOPPED
YOU THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT UNTIL IT WAS NOT
I DO NOT STRIVE TO PURPOSELY BE SO OUT OF PLACE
WHILE I PRETEND TO BE A PERSON EACH AND EVERY DAY
THE MOST ALOOF AND DEVIOUS INTENTIONS
WE SEPARATE DIVIDE AND WARP
AND RECOGNISE NOT A SINGLE THING WE SEE
WELL I DO NOT YEARN FOR THEIR MOST EXCLUSIVE OF SUGGESTIONS
OR SUBMIT TO THE MASTERS THAT YOU SERVE
BE NOT SURPRISED BY THE LACK OF YOUR EXPOSURE TO DIVERSIONS
ALL THE WATERS NEVER DIVED IN OR DISTURBED
WE’RE ALL ANIMALS ON AN ISLAND
ALL THOSE BROKEN BRIDGES SUBMERGED FOR MILES
SUFFOCATING IN THESE WIDE AND OPEN PRISONS
OFFERED DREAM TICKETS BY THOSE WITH ALLIGATOR SMILES
THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF UGLY OUT THERE
BEQUEATHED AS BEAUTY ONE MIGHT SAY

FACELESS INTERVENTIONS
TWAS THE RED PILL I ONLY EVER CHOSE TO TAKE

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
by Sigur RósThere is an ethereal atmosphere that envelops you whole when listening to this. Full of subtle maggot melodies that flourish with each repeated listen. I adore music that creeps up on you and BANG!

Like audio hot chocolate for the spirit. It combines a comforting nostalgia yet quite like nothing else that preceded it. The vocal and rhythmic signature changes result in something timeless.
go to album -
As if breaking into an emporium, while exploring the innocence of a child like wonder with a macabre sonic under belly. It marries joy and sorrow in sparkling unity.

The Inner World Outside
by electric mudsupported by 5 fans who also own “Animals On An Island”
Electric Mud sends you to distant lands where cinema and prog music combine to create a unique climate, a painting in the sun where colors mix as they melt; a unique album that becomes the avant-garde of the genre.

The Warm, Dark Circus
by Jack O' The Clocksupported by 4 fans who also own “Animals On An Island”
What a major leap forward Damon has made! While I've liked virtually everything that he's released under the Jack O' The Clock moniker, this is by far my favorite. The combination of those opening two songs tells it all--and "Dürer's Rhinocerous" is one of the best prog epics of 2023. And still there remains the tender story teller, master of multi-layered melodies in "Stuck Inside of Elvis" and "...and Who Will Tell Us?" The album is a masterpiece! Bravo Damon & company!

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