    Cassette + Digital Album

    For those of you who like their music on Super Ferro grade cassette, this is your deal. We are assembling 100 copies (50 for us and 50 for the band) of the album that will feature:

    1. a mini zine with photos and info and such
    2. a sticker or two
    3. cassette (duh!)
    4. all packaged in a Baby Birds box

    NOTE that the cassette version is mixed differently that the digital version - but you get both when you order online. The band will have copies at gigs that will include a download code with the box. It's complicated, I know.

    Cassettes manufactured at Analogue Media Technologies (Canada).

    Includes unlimited streaming of An Olive Branch Wrapped In Barbed Wire via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

You’re the reason I’m quitting Walking off the job with the horses in the stream Turned off my connection Turned off my connection and I’m going off the grid My ears are ringing, my head is pounding I’m a mess of oily rags too close to the flame I’ve had enough Of living under the heel of your jackboot What is this deadly thing What is this deadly thing going through my mind My ears are ringing, my head is pounding I’m a mess of oily rags too close to the flame

Prison Tape 04:16
Messages, messages, forming from a fringe pattern, random, scattered Hear it now, every third word, hear it now, every third word, it’s forming a structure Whether it’s real or not, whether you can hear it or not, he knew it, he could hear it He hung himself using the prison tape He always knew that the voices were true, from another dimension Calling to him, beckoning, promising a better life There was nothing left to do here, he had punched his last ticket to ride He hung himself using the prison tape, It was his fast way out Hang yourself, using prison tape

Xatu 03:26
She was terrified of what she saw She was terrified of what was to be She had seen too much Standing still all day Frozen in fear and remorse She chose to do nothing See into her eyes Tattooed images in the left eye – love Tattooed images in the right eye - hate Fear of changing the future She stares into the midday sun So she is blind forever

You once stood so tall You once stood so strong The slamming of doors The holes in your walls Did they hurt Your kind does not understand my life I was made from the earth we are not so strange Being taken for granted was just part of my job Time and the elements were not my concern Of all the creatures great and small Under heaven and earth Did you enjoy birds, rats and people Did you love I never got used to the defenestration I most loved the sun against my bricks There were times when I felt (like collapsing) And there were times when I felt (like a new building)
