"Sea Snakes" Charmer packs up his new suitcase Gonna get a ride on a train Just roll into here Crooner picks up her favorite sheet Walks up St. Mary's Street And the hall draws a breath Come on believe for me We're gonna cast that story off To the golden sea You better roller coaster ride All night long You better make the Pearly gates such a bore Sea snakes never got in here There a hundred miles to the south To the sea Gonna get a ride on a train Come on believe for me We're gonna cast that story off To the sea Come on believe for me We're gonna cast that story off To the sea You better roller coaster ride All night long You better make the Pearly gates such a bore

"Instead of Nothing" I give in I get out Somewhere to be done I'm not asking for it all Can't wait to see you off And to fly with you So much more For us all Its a slow red Let it glow I see the starts in your eyes Instead of nothing I see you try When your faltering Instead of nothing I walk for miles To be with you Escape embrace the blue I see the starts in your eyes Instead of nothing I see you try When your faltering Instead of nothing I walk for miles To be with you Escape embrace the blue In a full mix Your still hurting Its time for your scene Your scene Your getting off Of all your plains You touch down into yourself Instead of nothing

Pull Weeds Orange Skies 04:00

"Pull weeds orange skies" Seems so strange Pull weeds orange skies She can't help but think Pull weeds orange skies Sits on my windowsill Searching for her face Amongst all the paint Can't wait for the floor If only time wouldn't move so slow And he would catch her glance I'll believe you when I can see Your eyes not just your hands The windowsill grows cold I thought that you should know He's coming her way He's in the way Did you see me calling Did you hear the ring It's ok

about

Aztec Sea Snakes makes for a completely absorbing listening experience, the kind of album that's easy to get lost in, in an almost meditative way. Ambient, tranquil and evocative, the bewitching tracks are gently layered with guitars and electronic atmospherics, with Hamrick's distinct, ear-grabbing vocals and airy melodies rolling atop the mesmerizing sonic waves.

Sea Snakes feels like a culmination of all of the players' past experiences, building on the past while looking to the future. There are even a couple of direct callbacks to Sleep Theatre's seminal 1988 album, Escape is Calling.

Mike Breen, Citybeat
