I got Perma in Portland on Friday. It's so different from either of their stuff that I've heard, but I like it a lot. I really like the vocal effect on Fallen Pollen. It just sounds so cool. There are plenty of songs I can listen to if I want to hear her normal amazing voice, so I'm glad they did that on this one song, because again, it sounds really cool. Tripping is good, too, but Fallen Pollen is my favorite.

The more I listen to Fallen Pollen the more I am reminded of Midlake's sound during the Milkmaid Grand Army EP era. I kind of love it.

I was just trying to be optimistic ( was hard pressed to think of another Guy/Girl in love singer-songwriter combo from this era, but I wasn't trying hard either ). Wilstradamus provides no warranties and insurances on his speculations. Razz

I'm kinda 50% Laughing

They are what they are, that is not bad at all. This is still probably better than some expected, this should be interesting to say the least to see where they take it and how it sounds with a little more production, and where they'll take their arrangemts when they get a chance.

I was just about to ask the same thing. I can never figure out lyrics. I hate it.

don't talk about Glen and Mar that way Laughing

To be fair, it is nice. And Fallen Pollen would be great without that...effect.
But the 2 are incomparable.

I thought I'd share the artwork from my ep jacket. I would love to see what other artwork is out there.



I hope they release more music. I really like the sound of both the songs.

fallen pollen:

you would bring me flowers, and you be my man
it's been raining showers, I hope that we would run away
you could bring me flowers, and you could be my man
we would be together, but it's not looking good from where I stand

oh baby, go missing 'cause I care for you
and oh baby, we both know it's something we shouldn't do
but oh baby, it's not like we have a choice who we fall for
and if I had a choice I'd fall for you anyway

dancing woman happy, you take me by the hand
we sit and talk for hours, and blink our eyes and know I'll miss you
I'd wait forever to find someone like you
you would wait forever, and hope it would eventually come true

oh baby, go missing 'cause I care for you
oh baby, we both know it's something we shouldn't do
but oh baby, it's not like we have a choice who we fall for
and if I had a choice I'd fall for you anyway

yeah yeah yeah, I want to
and if I could afford to
in a perfect world we'd have our way
and I can't help but smile
at the things you say and file them all away inside my head,
they're always there for a lonely rainy day

you would bring me flowers, and you would be my man...

Quote:

tripping:
Watch the star collapse,
right on the back of tumbling waves
your cheek upon my face
we speak each words
afraid of nothing in the deep, and hurt
but we're not of that culture
and I will be your love, how sweet
God bless the ones who burnt my feet
that I should trip and fall for you
believe I am your lover
you, at six
a dream I wasn't in
the one with green, the winding paths that seize
they swallow whole the beefs they blindly stole
from the peach

and watch it bleed
and I will be your love how sweet
God bless the ones who burnt my feet
that I should trip and fall for you
believe I am your lover

Darn, I don't know where I saw it - Flickr or Photobucket or the like, someone posted their cover. Eisley & art fans will covet the Sherri drawings but this one was pretty funny, a picture of a tombstone with a couple flowers and clouds, and the epitaph read something like "Here lies a husband & wife who loved each other until the end of their days. Sherri is the one who could draw, but this cover was done by Max."

from the beach
we'd lie
and watch it bleed
and I will be your love how sweet
God bless the ones who burnt my feet
that I should trip and fall for you
believe I am your lover

Maybe, it's hard to tell.

that sounds pretty cool. no words i could think of would bring the cover up.

my favorite line from Fallen Pollen is "blink our eyes and move our lips, yeah"
