TVCL 321 The Eternal

00:00

Gentle, slightly elegiac, and quietly domestic — full of repeating towns, unlit next rooms, and water that agrees to stay inland. Perfect for dusk listening, houses that have agreed to be smaller, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

The title refers to the only point in the musical spectrum where the tastes of my wife and I overlap. I’m quite sure if David Sylvian turned up at our house she’d run off with him, leaving me to eat microwave meals and cry into my Volca.

A narrow overlap and a very specific disaster scenario. 🤣

“Like a polite pancake” is a track title waiting to happen.

Side A
Mood mist: a town happy to say its name twice, a junction in the brain, a flute sent out to sea, a score for the nights drawing in, a burial with moss for eyes, a horizon found again at whisper volume.

Side B
Mood mist: a root under a painting in three panels, blue far enough to keep its name, a sea touched once and remembered, a bath drawn for someone very small, an ocean that lives inland, dreams tied up and happy at the dock.
