about

After ten years at war, king and general Odysseus of Ithaca begins his journey homeward, little suspecting how difficult the trip will be.

lyrics

Well, it's nice to be victorious but it's better yet to get the call
That peace has broken out, there’s no more guns and ships and city walls
And aeroplanes and goatskin drums and every place that broke your heart
Can all just be bright memory, the war is over, life can start again
So ring the bells
On every hill I know too well
I've looked at heaven and been through hell
And I’m going home

I’m gonna plant a garden in the furrows that tank treads made
I’m gonna own a bakery, start a family, learn to rollerblade
There’s gonna come a day real soon when all these fields will be in bloom
So hold my hand cause you still can, my little boat has plenty room
We’ve faced our fill of fears
Spent twice our share of blood and tears
And after ten long, endless years
We’re going home

And god, can I find a place to rest my bones
And god, can I ditch this noisy world just for a day alone
Me and you
When there’s nothing left to lose
So help me god, we’ll make it through
I’m going home

Chess for Dogs
by Ben Conway

ben conway's minimalism and diy approach make the colors and shapes of his ambient sound ring through as clearly and refreshingly as the pacific northwest landscapes the album takes inspiration from Rory John

The Good Sadness
by viridian fractal

the good sadness is a wonderfully new twist on stripped-down bedroom pop, with lyrics equal parts startlingly vulnerable and brilliantly poetic, driven by unabashedly experimental and raw production Rory John

Maggot
by Dazey and the Scouts

dazey and the scouts combine poppy melodies, grungy haze, and punk energy with a queer take on riot grrrl's snark to make an ep that is at once playfully catchy, darkly comedic, and agonizingly honest Rory John
