lyrics

Keeping one eye on the clouds,
Watching the sky getting darker,
Turn on the windscreen wipers,
Slow down and look out for shelter,
Watching the trucks rolling past,
Gutters are flooding the footpath,
Freezing and soaked to the bone,
Late at night driving on your own.

Changing your street address,
Assemble all the mess,
You own and put it on the back seat.
You know you’ve gone too far,
When the radio plays,
White noise where your favourite station was.

Bury your head in your hands,
Sleep at a petrol station,
In the middle of nowhere,
Waking up at the break of day,
There’s fog covering the road,
Driving through the mountain ranges,
The view would be pretty nice,
If you could see out through the clouds.

Changing your street address,
Assemble all the mess,
You own and put it on the back seat.
You know you’ve gone too far,
When the radio plays,
White noise where your favourite station was.

Excellent Signalwave album that has a very smooth, atmospheric and focused sound. I love how every one of the 27 short loop-based pieces has its own grainy fidelity which adds to the warm textures of the sampled and manipulated music samples and Ambient melodies. The fragmented nature of the album's tracklist also makes this nicely sound like a collection of pleasant aural dreams. insomniaindex
