lyrics

From the running of the tunnels
To the smashing of the vessel
I am here in my cathedral
And I've been here for all time
But I only want to show you
That the angel's in the detail
That I see them in their circles
And I cannot close my eyes

I'm a captive of the sensorium
The pivot of the pendulum
From the height of the meridian
Falling into nature's hands
I'm the serpent in my own garden
No more abject, no more glorious
No more secret, no more obvious
In this barbaric wonderland

Even though I grasp at justice
I'm the architect of meaning
It's my comforting invention
It's my candle in the dark
But I hear a thousand voices
At the edges of the empire
And they scream for liberation
From the beating of the heart

We're a glance away from another world
Where we act on the invisible
Where we hide behind the particles
In the air and in the blood
It's a slight retune of the radio
It's a push beyond the envelope
Just one twist of the kaleidoscope
The implacable absurd

I'm the serpent in my own garden
No more abject, no more glorious
No more secret, no more obvious
In this barbaric wonderland

I told you, it's obvious.

Exsolve
by Jo Quail

supported by 13 fans who also own “Tooth and Claw”

Fantastic to finally get your Exsolve, Caldera and Cartographer CD's to play on my really nice home audio system. Super powerful stuff. There is magic in your musical compositions. I love them on top of your 'From The Sea' as the only CD I have been able to listen properly for the last 12 years.. Need more CD access in Australia so I can also play all your music in the car. Excellent stuff. Cernunnos

Fairy Tale Ending
by Fear of the Forest

supported by 12 fans who also own “Tooth and Claw”

If you think modern music sounds too much the same, here's an individual artist making music like nobody current. Though she uses traditional instruments like hurdy gurdy & folk traditional tunes, this is not archaeology but recovery. And the lyrics are very modern in their surrealist defiance and disobedience. Great album. Then check out https://night-school.bandcamp.com/album/znayesh-yak-rozkazhy. agutterfan

11 Years Of Chaos fundraiser compilation
by Chaos Theory

supported by 12 fans who also own “Tooth and Claw”

As impeccably curated as one would expect from Chaos Theory. Great album for pushing outside your comfort zone, everything on here feels interesting, new and bold. Found I liked (almost) all of it, and some new potential favourites to hunt down (Aphexia, Prisa Mata, Drekka, Five the Hierophant...) I already knew I loved Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard and Vodun... Roll on 12 years of Chaos. Tom Shepherd

I discovered Maud's music at Culthe Fest, her gig left a deep impression on me. Atmospheric, moving, caleidoscopic and mysterious. And heartfelt. Entleiber
