Hope Springs 03:39
oh how I loved you then from across the quiet room we were close at the edge of the night dressed in our sleeping clothes twisted in awe as the voices rose I still see your face or maybe I just wish I did did you lose what you couldn't find hope springs with your back against the wall in the dog days of our minds did you get back to your old divinity where your laughter's still swimming in the trees and it's not forgotten give me a radio give me a host that I can sing back into the world I was just a victim in oh how I love you now though the years divide us I see you still stars falling through your eyes again again again could you lose what you couldn't find hope springs with your back against the wall in the dog days of our minds did you get back to your old divinity where your laughter's still swimming in the trees we got time, oh do we got time

Zion 06:57
winter held us a while, lit our breath as it rose in spirals in an unfurnished room this is how life calls me to you love demands everything, quiet eyes, you're a diamond in the grey stretch of the pier I felt my love for you in the wild crush of the drunks I felt it there too in the dead hum of the plane I felt my love for you in the high chord of the birds I felt it there will I ever be awake? awake awake awake in zion match your sweetest steps with mine find the silence follows there darkest mind in the thick of it find where your own eye leads give your life and you can give your life again and again worried love, all those kisses you died for don't I know, fire comes like fire goes without a warning I'll be one, whispering secrets to the dark to the devil if I'm lucky, to the mirror if I'm not even in my terror mind when the gates are all wide open and the fire climbs from room to room and the beasts are screaming and my heart is screaming and the sky is screaming and god is fast asleep and the bottle ain't no good even then I know it's all in me and I raise my eyes to find our breath rising over the winter bed and it is always there it is always there and it is something you could sing forever if you only knew the goddamn words on a golden stage where the voices rise and the beer is cold and the beauty surges down through all of us tonight raise your softest eyes to mine, find the silence follows there darkest mind in the thick of it find what your own heart needs give your life and you can give your life again and again

take off that dress don't you ever look back I waited a long long time to make it with you to make it with you the night the moon the beach your breath catching on me I'm breathing in the light from your lips now from your lips now white knuckled on the wheel white knuckled on the wheel wait whose voice is that I hear rising with yours? i take you cause you're mine forever this time your teeth are on my neck I'm ready to die I'm ready to die tonight

Love = War 05:57
I got a quiver full of arrows that'll lay you on your sweet sweet back stayed by my quivering hand your life between my fingers again I always knew this is how it would end when I think of all the pitying conversations you must have had about me with our old friends I just want the dark to let me in let me cower in the corner of some old bar with yellow teeth and wings of sin someplace where history'll never find me again I always knew you'd find another to walk you through your bedroom door find the answers on the floor can't find the answers anymore should have known there's no love without war

about

"8.3...A fulmination of raw talent and professional struggle expressed in swerving jags of jazz-blazed, high-rise folk" - Nathan Huffstutter, Paste Magazine

A piece of roaming beauty, placing the alluring enticement of “Hope Springs” in the beginning, the half-eyed bleary sleepiness of “White Knuckled On the Wheel”, the evocative, gorgeous, funereal closer, “Love = War”; built around the richness of the centerpiece song, “Zion." - Sjimon Gompers – IMPOSE

This is lovely music, finely detailed and plush, easy to warm up to, but then the delight of sharp nettles beneath keeps you picking away at it. - Jayson Greene - Wondering Sound

Deeply cathartic...equally weathered and self-assured. - Dusty Henry - Consequence of Sound

Underneath the polished sheen of the track’s production lies a thoroughly original and twisted approach to songwriting that sets Wilder Maker apart...bars with odd time signatures, brief dissonant chord changes, vocal harmonies soaked in dub-reggae inspired echo. Wilder Maker is clearly committed to challenging the increasingly inflexible alt-country idiom. - Aputumpu
