lyrics
The sound of whistling awakes me
A tune I've heard but could not say I know
Through the back door it takes me
Now in the yard surprised I'm alone
And on further inspection
I discover holes where I'd sewed yesterday
I'm not the first to consider
My problems could all
Be solved with a girl
The sun slips fast behind fences
All roofs and aerials fade from my sight
She stands looking right through me
Her button eyes as dead as the night
I sift through the discarded clothing
I used to bring her to life just today
There's many things I'm unsure of
But I knew from the start
That she'd need a heart
Then from my eye's corner it appears
From nowhere out of the dark
My crimson glove from yesteryear
From its pair apart
Like fate had created her heart
A tune I've heard but could not say I know
Through the back door it takes me
Now in the yard surprised I'm alone
And on further inspection
I discover holes where I'd sewed yesterday
I'm not the first to consider
My problems could all
Be solved with a girl
The sun slips fast behind fences
All roofs and aerials fade from my sight
She stands looking right through me
Her button eyes as dead as the night
I sift through the discarded clothing
I used to bring her to life just today
There's many things I'm unsure of
But I knew from the start
That she'd need a heart
Then from my eye's corner it appears
From nowhere out of the dark
My crimson glove from yesteryear
From its pair apart
Like fate had created her heart

The album took a while but was well worth the wait. I simply cannot understand why more Australians have not got behind Even. Another cracking set of tunes. xxx

No Weapon But Love

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.

The Melbourne artist puts a dystopian spin on bedroom pop tradition, his fervent lyrics undergirded by glitchy production and prog twists.
