Trace the pattern in the sound,
the world revolves without you.
Don't stay rooted to the ground,
the world revolves around you.
Feel the pulse, in a wave of sound –
we are the centre of the Universe.

The Astonishing, Ceremonial Master.
Orderer Of The Wood, rooted in the sky.
Channels his inner Estonian,
his will will be clad with wood.
Braced joints will bear great timber,
words will burn for a solid fuel bard.
The Astonishing, Ceremonial Master.
Orderer Of The Wood, rooted in the sky.
“You may freeze in Fell Foot Wood, but you'll burn in Hell”
(Soothes Barry cheerily). “Do you like boiled rice?”

Dark Energy

|
Haul me in (dark matter)
draw me near (dark energy)
Red shift light (dark energy)
A shift in me.
Haul me in, phase me.

Guidance Is Internal
04:37
|
|||
|
In a world where you can't believe your eyes.
In a space, lies a lake of solitude.
Guidance is internal.
In a world, wind whips the flag of truth.
In a realm, fallen in a lake of dreams.
Guidance is internal.

Slow Flow Snowflake
04:30
|
|||
|
Quickening the heart-rate, but settled like a snowflake.
Quickening the moment, yet frozen as heartbreak.
Snow flow snowflake. Slow flow snowflake.
Quickening the heart-rate, but settled like a snowflake.
Quickening the moment, yet frozen as heartbreak.
Quicken the senses, the heart, the sound, the soul.
Snow flow snowflake. Slow flow snowflake.

Black Hole Entropy
04:44
|
|||
|
Find myself in entropy.
Dragging me in a black hole, losing me to entropy.
Find myself in entropy, in a state of flux.
Define myself, my event horizon
is tied to flesh and bone.
Dragging me in a black hole, losing me to entropy.
Find myself stuck in 3D, we radiate from our centre.
Define myself by the missing dots, lock in to here and now.
Dragging me in a black hole, losing me to entropy.

The Next Great Page Turn
03:40
|
|||
|
Ice to The North, fire to The South.
Geocentric to what we are.
Atomos truth,
'til the next great page turn.
Held in the amber of what we are.
Stuck to our touch, horizoned by our sight,
wrapped in our substance, locked in our own light.
Held in the amber of what are.
Lay cosmic egg, ripped from a gut.
Heliocentric to all we see.
Canvas of truth, 'til the next great page turn.
Held in the amber of what we are.
Stuck to our touch, horizoned by our sight,
wrapped in our substance, locked in our own light.
Held in the amber of what are.
No earth moves beneath my feet.

Undergrowth
06:06
|
|||
|
In the undergrowth.
Way down, way, way, way, way down.
Down.
In the undergrowth.
Way down, way, way, way, way down.
In the underground, in the undergrowth.

Starseed
05:53
|
|||
|
Starseed, ride the solar tide.
Starseed, untwist the coil of life.
Microbial – starseed. Rosetta Stone- starseed.
Semiotic – starseed. Leviathan – starseed.
Starseed, ride the solar tide.
Starseed, untwist the coil of life.
Starseed, arc between the stars.

Kickstart The Empire! EXTENDED EP (2019)
by Sieben
supported by 6 fans who also own “Ride The Solar Tide”
Kickstart the Empire is a continuation of the punk-with-violin-and-electronics direction of Crumbs. It is time to be angry at the neo-traditionalists, the would be emperors, the xenophobes, and those who leave you in shackles.

I find picking a favorite track next to impossible. The entire album is wonderfully diverse and complex, and a true delight from start to finish. And that's not even adding any bonus points for the marvellous weekly live sessions Matt's currently treating us to during the COVID lockdowns. <3 Here's a meager tenner really well spent for you, you *want* this gem in your collection.

Spectacular work as usual from Matt, who appears to have discovered a dirtier, harder face to his work. Excited to see these tracks live...

Tender and gorgeous songs from this Brooklyn duo, “and then all over” is a striking, evocative work full of hushed beauty.
