there is a demon in me
I try to drown him out with whiskey
I put him behind bars
but he's always here with me
breathing down my bottleneck
I swallow the key
but my demon he's too smart
he stays within me
oh I don't know but oh I've been told
who's been to blame
and now every time I slur
he calls out my name
he's in my head he's saying
that I've gone insane
but I just feed him my red birds
my throat's on fire again
there is a child in me,
I call him out with brandy
oh he's kicking and he's screaming
but I won't let him get the better of me
I'll be better tomorrow
I'll have more spirits, you'll see
but my child he's too smart
he hides it all from me
oh I don't know but oh I've been told
who's been to blame
and every time I slur
he calls out my name
oh he's in my head he's saying
that I've gone insane
but I just feed him my red birds
my throat's on fire again
there is a woman with me
I christen her with moonshine
she's only here by night
she drinks all my blood and wine
but I can't complain, no no no
no, I can't whine
lest I get twisted up and tangled
in her veins and vines

A soon to be bedroom pop classic, with all the nuances of Sigur Ros, and the fragile modern beauty of Keaton Henson. This record is haunting and nostalgic in its closeness. Alex Mason
A shadowy, mystic nature encapsulates the listener on Light, I'll Call Out Your Name "Darkness", an album that pervades the senses with an air of deep conversation and candlelight. Alex Mason
A gorgeous journey through a kaleidoscopic array of sonic approaches melted together that feels old and new at the same time. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2024
Introspective pop songs with transcendent melodies offer a joyful meditation on staying present in a world that often moves too fast. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2023
