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
Remember all the days I'd hold you,
Promises would all unfold,
You'd listen as a newborn baby,
Unknowing and unfocused, gazing
I didn't know I caught you,
Fate, in it's hold
I called you the bravest of the brave, you slay me,
Modus operandi: "Save me!"
Jesus, how'd you get so lazy?
I didn't notice,
Sleight-handed cold fish
The warmest of the blooded, boldest,
Surer than a fighter's closed fist,
Shoot it in a cup and toast it,
All this is calming,
Hoarseness and drawling
Accomplices would cop and stake you,
If one is recommended, take two,
Jesus, how do you get slaked, dude?
As soon as some kindness comes, falls away
Though you were once the only one,
We fall away
