The Plumest 04:35
When all the plums have ripened / and withered in their thirst / when the sky has been painted grey / by the wings of migrating birds / This will be the last time / I will dream of spiders / and I will dream in grey / the moon comes somersaulting / salt and pepper salt and / the night has brought me feathers and pebbles and footsteps / this will be the first time / I won’t wake up with cold shakes / staring up at three tiny perfectly folded cranes / chewing at the inside of my cheeks my teeth / this will be the last time / this will be the first time / this will be the best time / I will give myself / I will let myself / I will shed myself / and I will see myself / This will be the best time / When all the plums have ripened//

As the sails came down, we cried for help / but no heard over the roaring sea / so we prayed and held on / but the storm, the storm, it swallowed us /// and then the waves crashed on the deck / and as they left, they carried me / they swept me away, away, away / away, away, and out to sea /// In the still of the massive sea / i floated on, deeper, deep / i found a friend in a whale, a fish / a friend in all that exists / when i breathe, she breathes with me / so we breathe so peacefully

about

From the travel journal frenetics of Wurlitz and the 70's German prog tendencies of "Mahoney" to the funerary "A Whale, A Fish." Idaho's Finn Riggins shows their mettle and wins our hearts with this, their Tender Loving Empire debut EP.

Features "Wurlitz", a b-side from the A SOLDIER, A SAINT, AN OCEAN EXPLORER sessions as well as "The Plumest" that also appeared on A SOLDIER, A SAINT, AN OCEAN EXPLORER. "DeTamble pt. 1" is an early home recording of what would eventually become "DeTamble Wings" on A SOLDIER, A SAINT, AND OCEAN EXPLORER. "Thumbs To Muse" and "A Whale, A Fish" are also home recordings of songs that occasionally appear in Finn Riggins live sets -- these are the only released recording of these tunes. "Mahoney (My Homie)" is an early home recording version of "Mahoney" that appeared on 2009 Finn Riggins full length VS WILDERNESS.
