Blood Ruby
Midsummer Fires Midsummer Fires
(05:52) A tribute to the pagan-based Scandinavian traditions of Midsummer, this song, like a bonfire, slowly builds into a blazing inferno.
Remains of the Day Remains of the Day
(03:46) A richly atmospheric tribute to the transcendence of memory over matter.
Sleepwalk Sleepwalk
(05:26) An undercurrent of spookiness and tension runs beneath this song about living life to its fullest; savor even the pain, because simply to feel is divine.
He's Lost He's Lost
(04:27) A song exploring the emotional paradox of codependency.
Babel Babel Babel Babel
(05:11) A complex, layered song that keeps getting higher and deeper until the delightfully trippy "spaced-out" ending.
Shan Shui Shan Shui
(04:37) Inspired by Chinese landscape scrolls and sung partly in Mandarin Chinese (or, more accurately, an approximation of it!).
Underwater Place Underwater Place
(03:21) The aquatic instrumentation and lyrics were inspired by an early childhood experience with swimming (or lack thereof).
Centro Centro
(04:31) Organically structured and impressionistic song about traveling by rail.
Some Winters Some Winters
(05:06) Minimalistic and introspective song about emotional survival.
The Edge of the Map The Edge of the Map
(04:05) Radio-friendly adult alternative with folk-pop underpinnings.
