lyrics
Urban barns. Dog park ecology demands a toast. Tomato rose in my arms--detergent for clean dirt. There's too much flour in this town of ours. Dude crews and mansions of old will find you and you'll recognize each other.
So dress up tonight. You're a soldier. Darken the light. Now you're older. Get to a bar. Don't be sober. Will it be fine when we're older.
Head inside explorer across the street lightly leans on the glass. Signs they were happy here. Revisiting scenes of love their crime. You don't know the sons of guns--they know you. The past is never past. Pretend to be asleep in the twilight all the humble pie you'll eat.
So dress up tonight. You're a soldier. Darken the light. Now you're older. Get to a bar. Don't be sober. Will it be fine when we're older.
Listening to this album while driving at night is a cinematic experience. I was reminded oddly of "Paris, Texas", a film which combines the mythic open roads of the West, with various states of in-betweeness (of adult and child, of woman and man). James often describes his work as liminal. Liminality speaks at the edge of something, being in the ambiguous place and paving a way for new identities, new places. A rite of passage ready to occur. A wonderful album, although I wish it were longer! amoda666
With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
