too much too fast rapid pace of the hour glass sideways blast lucid memory of an ancient past its four in the morning change the course again destroying the notion to get out while we can what's it gonna be what's it gonna what's it gonna be do you wanna live your days without me ain't nobody else ain't nobody else i can't forget ain't nobody else ain't nobody else do you know do you know we could piece it all back together if we take it easy on the other

held a little ball shaped it in my hands extraordinary plan and ohhh it floats it floats spinning effortlessly around around around and i don't remember how it came to be such a disaster the early blossoms were so sweet now they're charring in the heat you were to be my world you pretty boys and girls you were to by my world you were to be a reflection of my obsession you but now you're on your own they grew sweet potatoes they fished & they raised chickens populations grew is it possible that we will see this thing coming but do nothing about it gaia is unpredictable

dreamt of you last night you drifted far into the sea i tried to reach for you as you were struggling sunlight falls through the window to my face my mind wandering to another time and place where we were wandering for the thrill of truly being there was definitely something i can feel it still we were wandering through the foliage in full bloom our worries next to nothing i hear you breathe i hear you moan hold you close to my chest so you won't feel alone turn the lights down baby, keep em low there's no need for words as we are letting go

about

LIMITED PRESS CD IS SOLD OUT... 4 years ago, Portland, Oregon musician Andy Fish released an acoustic, nostalgic EP (Trouble In the Tea Leaves) centered around the mercurial aspects of love. In 2013, “Until the Sun Explodes” continues down a similarly moody path. Only this time, the guitar and violin are replaced with drum loops, synths and shape-shifted samples. The songs weave woozily from one to the next like an adventure-junkie crawling through caves, star-gazing in deserts and lounging in secret party dens. Sometimes the journey is set to the catchy boom-bap of an 808, other times to the ominous pulse of a beating heart. Fish covers a lot of topical ground here, almost an aerial overview of the human condition: the challenges of intimacy (Easy on the Other), addiction (Masquerade), greed & excess (Gold Dust Boneyard), loss (Saudade) and spirituality (Small Blue Thing). Throughout the cinematic maze, Fish’s haunting vocals create a surreal aesthetic that's somber yet pretty, a downtempo lover's treat. UTSE operates on a visceral level, like that of a multi-exposed image that touches on shared experience although it's not always clear why.

The album's 8 tracks also serve as a soundtrack to a film photography series. The 8 photos, paired with each of the 8 songs, were showcased at the release party at the Graeter Art Gallery in Portland on May 18th, 2013.
