Forgotten 07:23

Angel have you heard me at night Trying to hold you while you cry You never really knew what you had Couldn't quite understand Silence has a room in your heart Wrestling with a voice in the dark Firing up your tongue And you're smart To take back your words when they spark Lighting your way through the dark I know you're lost but Have you tried Anything Other than Hating everything you are? I took in your breath once Now I can't exhale Fingers tracing back To your warm skins Braille The moment before Everything Struck Down Save your breath And listen to yourself Listen to yourself Hold it in Hold it in And let it go Nick: Caught in your bones, speak what you know, release the pain

Bail Me Out 04:07

Felt it I wanna feel it again It died Bring it back my friend I'm slipping pull the ropes I wanna get better Shove it down my throat Have you heard they say The cure for anger Is a fistful of dirt And a mouthful of stranger Just a toy But I thought about it Keep coming home And I can't forget it Hands out Nailed down Did you really think you'd be alone Hands out Calm down Did you think you'd find your Way back home You're gone now aren't you Do you feel it It Hands out Nailed down Oh oh Hands down Bail me out You're gone now do you feel it Feel it

Underneath the river I saw you standing cold Underneath the water I found what you didn't know Underneath the skin crawling I heard all you didn't say Sleeping moss can't harm me Cushioning my falling grace Dancing in vertigo Kissing currents Drinking snow Weighing me down And sinking In sound I'm free now I'm free now I'm free now You didn't want to know You didn't want to know You didn't want to know So now you know

Hurricanes 05:55
lyrics

Never got far passed Pained by your laugh Convoluted Eyes flooding red Anyone knew Clouding over Everything you're Meant to find Spoken words can't stop it Even though I Try Chasing it Down Speeding through Light Caught between the words and mouth I caught it On my breath And I blew it To you Shaking in my skin Your hand around my neck Cutting off my will to speak And tell you it's all in your head* You created this With one too many Black holes Swallowing the last comet by its tail The stars in your eyes Faded into Suns Burning all you hold in your sight Breathing hurricanes In your sleep every night I blew it to you

Labyrinth 04:42

Spoon fed honey soaked pity Knock you dead but at least you'd look pretty Fighting hard To bring you to me pleading Hush hush You'll never unhinge me Hush hush you'll always be with me Spitting fire and licking the burns Oh I remember why it hurts Baby girls got something up her sleeve Pain killers and a way to flee the scene Remember i taught you how to please And I showed you how to scream I know I brought you to your knees Now I can't bare to see you leave Beating on my breath Sweating down my neck Whisper in the ear old locked up friend Angel in my head Twisting winding mend Deep resolve And promises Lock me up and throw the key Lock me up and I'll still bleed Try to be the death of me Angel with broken wings Lock me up and throw the key Lock me up and I'll still bleed Try to be the death of me Angel I broke your wings Lock me up and throw the key Lock me up and I'll still bleed Try to be the death of me Angel, my only wings Lock me up and throw the key Lock me up and I'll still bleed Try to be the death of me Angel, you're all that's left of me

Lay it Down 05:00
lyrics

(Nick): Give your hopes up for the restless Leave behind your empty trail Stayed afloat but for the moment Pieces shattered where they fell Weary eyes avoiding chances Occupied by where they'd been, Some will fall and some are planted, some left dead in shaking hands (Nick and Fox): Leave the rest to fall away Leave the rest to fall away Leave the rest to fall away Leave the rest to fall (Fox): Fall away Fall away Lay it down Spared some more were wasted Trying to find an out Purpose long defeated lost out to doubt (Nick and Fox): Leave the rest to fall away Leave the rest to fall away Leave the rest to fall away Leave the rest to fall Leave the rest to fall away Running after yesterday Nothing to left to say Leave the rest to fall away

lyrics

For all the times I never said a word For all the times I let my fire lick and burn The heart that's beating inside me Singeing away my security For all the times I would have screamed to be heard But instead I kept quiet because I never did learn Blinded by the flash of blue On skin bruising black Anger rising in you And you're not holding back There's something about your lips that reminds me of the guns you've told me have been between them There's something inside your words That lightning couldn't siphon But the fear in your voice Comes deep from everything You've never let yourself feel So give it to me So you hand it to me So you give it to me So you hand it to me So you throw it at me So you stab at me For all the times I never said a word

about

100% of what comes to us* for this album will be donated to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe towards providing resources as they take a stand for clean water, indigenous rights and the preservation of our connection to nature.


House Hunting formed as an impermanent project to highlight the chemistry between the members before they followed their own journeys to Oregon, Berkeley and a free destination road trip come Fall of 2016. After being in SMUT the Band together; Steph, Nick and Fox came together again to revisit old songs and write a handful of experimental new tunes all marked with their uniquely powerful chemistry. After a few months of sporadic writing sessions, they went into the studio to record a 7 song LP in the beginning of November as both an end of an era send-off, and welcoming in to the next chapter of music, experiences, and house hunting. The songs feature bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals and were written and recorded to bring subtle attention to the intimacy of connection in music. With the intention of embracing the avant garde in this one-off project, the album reveals a look into the result of what happens when the filter of following what is known to "work" is removed.

The album, Fata Morgana, was named after a specific type of mirage. As this project happened only under certain conditions in a way that seemed impossible and then disappeared leaving only memory and moments captured, it seemed fitting. "A Fata Morgana is often rapidly changing. The mirage comprises several inverted (upside down) and erect (right side up) images that are stacked on top of one another. Fata Morgana mirages also show alternating compressed and stretched zones." When else can we have the title of an album be an Italian word for a complex optical phenomena?

The album was recorded (mostly) live in studio in 2 days.

*Bandcamp takes 15% of digital sales, so 85% of what you pay will go directly to Standing Rock. If you want to arrange for 100% of your donation to go to Standing Rock, feel free to contact us directly.
