Swallows in formation playing at swapping places; geometries of flocks that tirelessly change the perimeter. Gentle, intricate, and graceful jazz-rock vanguard that glides away light and frothy, like champagne poured on white marble. Dark preludes, crescendos now soft, now crisp; violent and restrained adolescent emotions, lunar landscapes.
Clouds continuously reshaped by the breath of the wind. Fineness of touch, fineness of language; alchemical deformed harmonies that transform anxieties and questions into fragrant hyperboles. Shimmering yet subdued sonic pirouettes; Dadaist trills soaked in synesthesia breathe existential piano fugues; a tearing underlying gloom.
Tzara and Sartre animatedly discuss what Life really is; heart-rending ballads sung by trembling divining voices; humble and resigned scores. Evolving labyrinths of philosophical instruments, splendid tentacled monsters that grip us in the open sea; inevitable drift on deserted beaches, dizzying interior whirlpools.
Contempt for gold, for stones, and for all that is immutable. We happily sink our hands into the turquoise wave.

01 O Caroline (05:05)
David's on piano, and I may play on a drum
And we'll try to make the music work, we'll try to have some fun
But I just can't help thinking that if you were here with me
I'd get all my thoughts in focus and play more excitingly
I love you still - Caroline
I want you still - Caroline
I need you still - Caroline
If you call this sentimental crap you'll make me mad
Cause you know that I would not sing about some passing fad
And if my attempts at rhyming aren't convincing to your ear
Then memories betray you through the passing of the year
I love you still - Caroline
I want you still - Caroline
I need you still - Caroline
You must think it doubtful that I mean the words I sing
Or that all attempts to reach you this way could not mean a thing
But you must admit we both thought we'd be man and wife
And that I could make you happy for the best part of your life
I love you still - Caroline
I love you still - Caroline

"O Caroline is the catchy-song-that-stays-in-your-head, a song that every good album possesses."
"'Signed Curtain' uses lyrics that simply state the part of the song being played, creating a meta-musical divertissement."
