Escape From Eyes 04:32
lyrics
download
he'd just finished his last glass when he saw the girl long long legs scarlet dress unreliable curls she was made for his eyes; she got nothing else to give the world cause it's a hungry universe waiting for her there's no escape from eyes why don't you smile? I'm here for you you're mine you're mine... and we lie in our beds looking out at the dark balconies, cigarettes- unreliable stars they stare out from the bus stops from the magazines and the storefronts from strangers' faces- they're waiting we fall asleep to eyes why don't you smile? I'm here for you you're mine... you're mine! and we welcome you to the world, little Storm we've got great plans for you so precisely devised long before you were born and we will find you; we'll define you we will make you our own... from the first time that you set foot outside we won't give you no escape from eyes why don't you smile? I'm here for you... you're mine you're mine... you're mine.

This Fever 02:34
lyrics

my love was not healthy and I was never ready but I never asked for the cure and my skies are unstable and my wires are in tangles but I'm only asking for more I got love in my soul that this fever don't slow I got no self control can you tell, don't you know? don't you know? could've made it pretty could've owned this city I could've been the queen but all the cards have been dealt and I'm headed for the delta we will soon be lost at sea... for a while I got love in my soul that won't fall for no lies I got infinity in my eyes... I got love in my soul that this fever don't slow I got no self control, can't you tell? don't you know? don't you know? don't you know?

Alice's Rain 03:26
lyrics
download
it was on the news today: there's something in the rain making the people strange from Paris to the Hague and they told us to stay inside until the rain subsides... the radio dies and nobody knows how long we will wait Europe's been struck with Alice's rain and we have never been so awake and we're at one with everything so why don't we just sit and watch the days? roll by... roll by and soon the world is brought to a complete stop. and crows fall from the sky; the summer air is ripe and fallen to the ground. and who can find the will to lie? to tear apart the golden rye to hurt each other when there's so much sound... behind our eyes! and we still don't know who's responsible and at this point, it doesn't really matter... 'cause we are too far gone we are gone; we are gone... we're gone! we are gone! and nobody knows how long we will wait the world's been struck with Alice's rain and we have never been so awake and we're at one with everything so why don't we just sit and watch the days? roll by... roll by roll by, roll by roll by, roll by.

Rabbit 04:17
lyrics
download
you are the stranger from all our strange days the doorman to a stranger place the rabbit that leads us astray our bodies move in lively dissonance a moment of naked existence a smile as you walk away, oh... cause I- I'm just a little girl with little dreams in my head and a crazy love in my heart... and it's tearing me apart! running after the white rabbit why won't you love me? why won't you stay and love me? running out of ways to prove it why won't you love me? why won't you stay and love me? and I smiled at you as you spoke raw colors and bicycle spokes a life I left not long ago... and there is so much left to know a garden chair; a climbing rose and stripes of glowing indigo... I see you go! cause I- I'm just a little girl with little dreams in my head and a crazy love in my heart... and it's tearing me apart! running after the white rabbit why won't you love me? why won't you stay and love me? running out of good excuses why won't you love me? why won't you stay and love me? why won't you stay and love me? why won't you stay and love me? why won't you stay and love me? why won't you stay and love me? 'cause I'm in love with the white rabbit I have tried everything to stop these orchid dreams running out of pretty music... why won't you love me? why won't you stay and love me?

about

Summer Air is a 5-song EP recorded in a hidden little Parisian studio in summer 2011 with the help of Alex Tran Van Tuat (percussions & drums) and Guillaume Dulac (sound.)

I was 17 and played/sang songs about psychedelics that I wrote as a high school kid who'd never tried psychedelics. (In retrospect, they turned out to be pretty scarily accurate.)

Alex was 35; he started drumming when he was 5 using plates as cymbals and chopsticks instead of drumsticks.

Guillaume is an extremely hard-working sound engineer (he was mixing/editing this from 8 AM to 3 AM for five days straight) who has also worked with Famous Camille, who apparently has a perfect voice and is also insane.

I'll be honest and say the vocals on this album are definitely not as developed as my more recent material, which is why it's completely free! The songs are still lively and will make you want to move and flail around!
