I slept through the storm
Woke up for the flood washed up alone and abroad
Learned to swim and I dug
A tunnel through the earth and came out on the other side of...
Now I captain this mattress
Across the carpet, along this atlas
But I still have this
Anchor in my head that weighs down my bed
Meet me where the waves
Waves break through the ground
Wait and I'll come up for air
Dig the surf and you will drown
Sand soaked by the snow
Soul worked to the bone
Found some sound under the sheets
Took to the sea and let it go
Woke up in my home
And I was alone
Looked out the window
That's how I know
Drifting back to sea
Noises follow me
The distance in between
That's how I know
I put my faith in you
And you faithfully made believe you trusted me too
The storm washed over me
And I got wet but I never got clean
A love that stays with me
Cradled in a dream
I'm not going anywhere
Just floating out to sea
Disappearing is easy
If no one sees you leave
I'm not going anywhere
Just floating out to sea
Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2022
Everything that Bryan Scary touches is musical gold... at first when he branched out from the Shredding Tears to do Evil Arrows I was heartbroken... but these songs are full of the solid power-pop brilliance that his earlier work exhibited, if a bit more guitar-driven. Wonderful stuff! Matthew Laurence
