Ken I just woke up, made some coffee, and now I'm sitting on the porch listening to some dreamy psych pop while the sun rises over the forest here in North Carolina. Perfectly timed release. I love it and can't wait to hear more! nice one gents. Favorite track: Morning Milk.

DeclannShields The hotly anticipated debut track from Heavy Moss, the new project featuring Lucas Harwood (King Gizzard), is captivating straight out of the gate. The funky laid-back production makes this an instant ear worm, complimented by the wistful lyricism and passionate vocal delivery. I thoroughly enjoyed it, looking forward to hearing more down the line!

about

“We recorded this song late last year in Kyle’s shed. It was our first rehearsal as a band, and we were giddy on this feeling of starting something new that was immediately working. We had some mics haphazardly setup and we pressed record. Sam later re-recorded the drums at home because I did a shit job the first time. Then we all squirrelled away adding our own overdubs remotely. 

The lyrics to this song probably read like I’m going through a mid-life crisis. Fortunately, I’m not. The song was written 10 or so  years ago when I was a brooding, early 20-something, thinking I was being original writing a song about my first comedown. Unlike most of my songs written in my early 20s, this one has stuck with me. It doesn’t make me cringe and it’s meaning to me has changed as I’ve (hopefully) grown up. 

It was originally recorded and released in 2014 with my project Atolls. It took me a while to come around to the idea of re-recording it, but, in this new context; in a new band, it feels right. It’s like new organs to the old bones, and I’m so pumped to be recording and playing with them.”

lyrics

When you're old there is no sweetness
Left to try
It's all dried up on weekends
And days gone by
With you there is no secrets
Left in your eyes
I can see your thoughts tick
Over in your mind

I'm after better days
Better than today
You had to go away
Too far away

Now all that's left is treacle
Cloying up my gaze
Sour is my morning milk
Sweet yesterday
My head falls through the damp lino
Sickly yellow maize
The taste of salt swirls round my head
Sweeter yesterday

I'm after better days
Better than today
You had to go away
Too far away

Now these days I can't see straight
Hazy is my track
I squint to swell the edges
Adorn the border in what it lacks
There's just one vindication
Raise us absolute
Succumb to what is thought decreed
There is no need to astute
