about

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

Honestly, you made the scene, I’m impressed,
It’s the little things
we all have to grasp and relax,
and they pass, stately, through the glass,
Into vapor, into gas

Little reeds only feel but a breeze and lay out,
Every fear we will fail we’ll surfeit,
They play out,
The hours, baby, all lay out
for the coward to count until sleep

Honey, we all have creatures to feed,
Little wings, little beaks whispering at our ears,
And you hear all that they can ask,
Bits of paper, bits of glass,
on repeat
