If no one sings of remarkable things then what is left but fallow men staged across the towns, speaking of hollowed things. If no one sings of wondrous things then all we’ll hear, cutting across the surface, of their gleaming towers, is their sirens’ call; their luxuriant whistles, begging us to peal ourselves from one another.

The Luxury Of Doubt

Your mask is the smoke that clouds your face, and curls the edges of the words that founder, dry and wilt; wander away to deaden the ears of the others here not yet burdened with the luxury of doubt.

Shelter Song

Good morning, song. Good morning, shelter. I’ll take from you the future,
past, and present, and give them to the birds to console the days that pass along straight edges, between gleaming light and glowering night.
Between the glowing yoke, between the gloaming white. Good morning, song. Good morning, shelter. I’ll take from you the future, past, and present, and give them to the birds to console the days that pass along straight edges, between the glowing yoke and the gloaming white.

Into Foul Dust

Of foul dust.
Everything I hold here is coming apart, and settles softly on my palms as exhalations of foul dust. Everything I held dear has fallen apart, and softly burned the skin of the psalms I sing as gently as the air allows.

She’s still to be born, a constellation of bargained parts, somehow begged
out of sorrow, out of pity, or out of love.

Ambitious doom-chamber-pop. Pete could sing anything and it would sound beautiful, Jamie's arrangements are spectacular!

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra
supported by 5 fans who also own “A Constellation Of Bargained Parts”
Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten.
