A sort-of "Fandango from Saturn," this is a bittersweet, imagery-filled song of love-that-could-have-been. John Pfeifer--Vocal, nylon-string guitar, bass, music/lyrics; Matthew Scott--piano, drum machine

An amalgam of anything that passes thru one ear and out the other -- see our Interview page for details.
In our music, you'll hopefully find everything -- rock, orchestral, trip-hop, spacey/ambient, whatever -- most times all in one tune!! Mwah-ha-ha.... We follow no labels, guidelines, trends -- we write what we feel at any given moment; industrial one moment, folk the next. You might hear smatterings of Floyd/Waters/Gilmour, a touch of Mike Nesmith, some Metheny, maybe even some Vangelis or 80's pop, classic rock, sheer noise, Air, Terje Rypdal, and if you really stretch in order to make us seem more relevant to the times, maybe some of The Shins, Sigur Ros, etc. Basically anything that makes a noise can inspire us.

Story behind the song
About a love-that-never-was, about the guitar-playing wisp of a girl in a hat and diaphanous scarves, and about trying to paint the song in the colors of a far-away, timeless autumn...
Lyrics
She may have tipped her hat more than once... She may have thrown a wave on some chrome-skied afternoon... She may have let a smile slip when I kissed her hand... She may be wondering where I choose to be... I've seen us slowly wax/quickly wane... There's no more cause for the seasons not to change... She may have tipped a wink more than once... She may have thrown a glance on some amber afternoon... And as we meet from different sides of the door, the grey curtain of rain frames her hair in mist. She gazes at me from the depths of her cloudy eyes... the smoky blue silently working its spell...
