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

Praise god, praise life,
We used to wade waist-high
In the lake, laid low,
We saw the glare shine,
But no light would shine below

We let it flow, a cold wash,
We seek to cleanse our sins
Though they seem to cling to us,
Brother Lord, Father not,
You're half a shade and I shade my eyes
and you're forgotten

No voice, meanwhile, breaks the quiet
and the stillness of the miles

We praised god, we praised life,
We used to wade waist-high
