Barkhest These guys are gifted and talented. Their music fun and beautiful and will be listened to over and over again. The worlds they conjure through song and theater inspire the imagination. I highly recommend taking a couple minutes to click around their site and maybe listen to something. The work these fellows put into their products is admirable and appreciated. Favorite track: The Way I'm Running.

Sailor 02:33
if i was a sailor i'd sail on forever for the sake of my daughters i'd weather any weather i'd sleep on that horizon i'd bargain with the winds blow please more than a whisper i'd argue with the waters they're bitter 'cause we bicker i'd feast on that horizon if i was a tree stump i'd hope to be a whole one from the seed to the highest leaf so i could see over that horizon

i snuck from your window and sooner was racing i ran to the willow i followed the song from the stone i followed the song from the stone i sooner was dancin' when I saw your reflection in the wind chimes calling for the song from the stone for the song from the stone If i were to follow you would i be a follower? if i didn't meet you would i be a traitor? i do wish a million that you were here with me

well them fat cats down in the city they picked my pockets, clean and pretty and them country girls, they leave me alone so i cut my hair and shined my shoes threw my sunday best on i hitched a ride on down that dusty road going: oooo oooo it's a wide eyed girl in the drivers seat keeps her hair pinned up and her dress real neat terrified of driving, she aint afraid to roam it's isabel who is a bell that rings like a midday sun smiles when she says her name makes fun of the way i'm running going: oooo oooo darling loose them worn down licks break your habits and kick your fixes roll 'em over, and let 'em go aint like you to stop the show sweet isabel turns with a twinkle in her smile and with a wink makes this trip worth my while "you got your running legs and i know how you feel" and with that, sweet isabel jerks the wheel mom and pop they aint aware 'til they receive a call their little wide eyed girl and a running man hit the wall the story goes the butcher boys couldn't find no one to blame cause they saw isabel laughing when we went up in flames going: oooo oooo darling lost her worn down licks she broke my habits and kicked my fixes rolled me over, and let me go just like her to stop the show oooo oooo

Giant 03:53
i wandered away from myself one day tickled to find what i'd see so scared of how fast i'd find the thing for which i was looking so i closed my eyes and erase my mind and i called it a lie i called it a lie but who knows who knows what its like to be ten feet tall yes who knows who knows what its like to be ten feet tall *NASTY GUITAR SOLOS* so i close my eyes and erase my mind and i called it a lie i called it a lie cause who know who knows what its like to be ten feet tall so now i guess i'm just a stone in the grass separated, fallen away from those things in my past my legs the kings of my journey my eyes the mapmakers

I Crash 04:06
side step the creaks in the cracks of my broken smile light me a gait for my path if you'll stay a while break the tight line with a down turned face from the spray if she is the swell by my side then i am the wave i crash on the board i crash on the board there is a pull on a pool in a well over time if she my cup on a rope then i'll be just fine i'll pay down my debts and upturn my charge to the sky no mans a saint without learning first to ask why i crash on the board i crash on the board a cross stitch, a lace wick, a bottle filled to the brim if she is the wax sealing up then i just give in so spring load the planks and pluck my purse to pass she'll shop shine the dimes for my eyes and i won't come back i crash on the board i crash on the board

about

The follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album "Bremen" - "The Way I'm Running", a 5 track EP, was recorded very much “on-the-run” as the band were touring around the country for the first time in the summer of 2013. Between new cities and festival stops they’d return to NYC for a night or two and collaborate with “Bremen” producer Ron Robinson Jr. on these 5 new songs that had become fan favorites in their live sets.
