Checking in, Space Cowboy - Alpha Gamma 8
Facing inescapable fate.
A collapsing star off the starboard side
Convinces me to philosophize,
Focus too closely and look into my eyes,
Stare at the reflection as the planets go by.
Chorus:
Soon all the light will bend, what's left of me then?
Of course, the curtain of the event horizon will obscure
Where I actually went.
I know I shouldn't take it personally,
But the part of me that does is doing so because
This heartless singularity compresses me
From side to side as time dilation plays tricks on your eyes.
Body is fading but spirits they rise.
Chorus

I've loved this band for years, and this "swan song?" of a record is a capstone. Their genre varies from folktronica tropicalia to straight up indie rock with some Pro Tools turntablism thrown in. Caleb Bailey
Gavin is one of those songwriters that changes his genre/concept on almost every album. If you like this (or if you don't) give another one a try. This one's a zombie scare relationship thing. Dope. Caleb Bailey
Holy Palms did a great thing with drones and snake charming music. Dirty and satisfying, with some great beats and strange ... whooping sounds? Caleb Bailey
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
The Ohio songwriter navigates gender, queerness, class, and privilege through a powerful mix of country rock, folk ballads, and bluegrass. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 14, 2021
