Immediate download of Grey Lady in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
This can be free, or it can be what you tipped that cute bartender for a single beer. Or it could be what you paid for that extravagant coffee this morning. You decide.
Creatures To Feed is the first of a pair of new EPs from Tom Thumb. After the kitchen sink, computer-based arrangements of the last album, We Never Die, the idea of this collection of songs was to simplify. Single takes of guitar and vocals played together are fleshed out only with guitars, piano and voices. Out of the vast bag of digital effects, only reverb is plucked. Digital editing and trickery is eschewed in favor of whole performances. It’s a purifying exercise before the second EP, Faux Romantic, in which the vast bag of digital effects in turned upside-down and shaken, with a glut of keyboards, triggered drums, and computer fun.
lyrics
Great city, you're not mine,
Though there might come a time,
How our ears will be bent and primed
For your whispering
Great waning of the tide,
Slack, flooded or moon high,
How our glasses are raised and dried
In a tribute to you
Oh, you're a filthy liar,
Come on, tell me nice, like before
We may not speak a while,
May rise to a different smile,
Sunrise on another side of the window from you
Grey lady of the Times, obituary, classified,
Nuptial announcements or local crime,
How I look for your name,
But oh, you're not there in black or white,
But in between the lines I read more
Great city, you're not mine,
Though there might come a time
When you will summon and we will climb
On the highest to you,
Oh, you're a filthy liar,
But I might be inclined to hear the truth
