“GOODBYE” on clear blue cassette, with red tinted case.
We made a small run of the album on cassette as the turnaround for vinyl records sits at around 8-10 months. We hope to have vinyl records available by the end of 2022 but there is no guarantee, tho they have been ordered and we will have it at some point.

about
I wrote this track partly as a way to work through my grief at loosing Celeste, after deciding to include “Scars” on the album I also wanted it to serve as an addition to her song, Celeste’s stage name when I met her was Eva Ulysses, Eva also means “life” which I thought would be not only a nice reference to Celeste but also, hopefully, a universal sentiment for anyone going through the grief of loosing a loved one.

lyrics
Can I catch a ride? Catch a ride on your shoulders, I’ve been stranded here for too long and I’d really like to get going, I was looking for my friend, she died the other morning, she was skin and bone and mountains were burning.
She said we met in a dream, I remembered once she told me, I’d like to live in that dream, I miss her crazy stories. Time to say goodbye, I didn’t know it was the last time, she was all doped up and I didn’t even get to hold her.
Hospitals got paid, all got paid, and Shamans worked on her soul, on her soul, but there were no funerals in the time of COVID, just out the door and gone, gone, gone.
Out the door and gone, Eva, it left a scar on my heart…

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia.

Extra-riffy guitar rock gets dosed on this psych-tinged release, straight out of Southern California’s still-kicking garage scene. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 30, 2016
