lyrics

Finally alone in the wedding gift room, looking for an escape route, Hoppo moves a vase, unexpectedly freeing a crumpled Persian carpet. It takes flight, and after shaking off the dust it heads towards a hidden corridor, almost beckoning Hoppo to follow it. Making their way through hidden corridors the two emerge at the entrance of a ghost bazaar. There doesn't seem to be a living soul, a baleful breeze moves the torn curtains and the broken baskets are arranged along a straight line that leads to the horizon, dominated in the distance by a black cloud with a mocking grin.

flies the coop

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly

Dinosaurs and Dungeon Synth? PERFECT. This is the album that really got me into dungeon synth again and made me continue my dinosaur obsession. winstonrandom
