Riding the Crest 05:13
lyrics
buy track
History is an echo reversed from a frightened breath in an empty but lucid dream. The wave breaks, our words roll back. Our hopes break, the wave rolls back. Our voice breaks, our eyes roll back. The search for truth is happenstance, and each grain of sand we want carried screaming through the desert means another lost of the oasis. A furnace and a pipe, a vision and some time, we can build windows from wont and grow pearls of our pride. The source of the American Sleep lies in the footsteps of the Sandman.

To Breed an Ape of Snow 02:26
lyrics
buy track
We're waking with the sun, reborn before the hollow clouds of an ashen sky. As dreamers in a waking state, with the full-bloom phoenix as our guide, we ride the winds of a new approach with a disregard for the tides of chance. We can't drown swimming in the sky, but do we dare compete with kites? The odds were against us because we set our sights too low; be careful not to aim too high.

about

This was originally supposed to be a 9", but when the records showed up, they were all warped. The pressing plant dragged their feet on a solution and a fixed pressing, and eventually everyone settled for a 10" with a blank inch around the outside. However, we had been broken up for years by that point, and the project's momentum had been seriously shot. Towers did several tours with limited versions of this record: initially a limited cassette version (well before the vinyl disaster), and later a short-run 10" version with screened covers while we were still trying to work out the details of the final run. Eventually, after a lot of lost money, a lot of anger, a lot of blame, and heavily waning interest from most involved parties, this record was softly released, years after conception.
