Autumn (interlude) 01:54
lyrics
Autumn (interlude) - Mother I've seen the longest time Lost it all to the winds and chimes Hold it up, curly wolf Mountains shine but it ain't enough.
2.
Poachers at Dawn 04:11
lyrics
Poachers At Dawn - Down through the meadows we ran Her dainty fingers around my hand Passed by the poachers at dawn Eyes red in tooth and claw Danced round the bonfire with bells I was intrigued by her charms and spells.
3.
Flowers in Her Hair 01:40
lyrics
Flowers In Her Hair - I saw a damsel beyond the fence Who's beauty rang pure innocence She graced the fields with flowers in her hair They say she mucks out in the barn Voice it keeps the horses calm They graze the fields with flowers in their hair Swears the city turns all people blind But we will never be those kind We graced the fields with flowers in our hair Oh she's seen the bird of paradise Yet i have only seen her twice She graced the fields with flowers in her hair.

Huntsmen 04:17
lyrics
Huntsmen - A burrow away is a home We claim this wood as our own Such is the way come dark and day Such is the way of the woods Many do pass through our home Shouldering animal bones Such is the way we are the pray Such is the way of the woods today All the white harts are mounted and dead Now the huntsmen are out for my head.
5.
Dusty Road 03:08
lyrics
Dusty Road - Throw a blackbird storm 
 To the mammoth moon
 Hold the Midas touch 
 Will you wilt too soon? Could you dead fall me? 
 I am torn at seams With the womb to the West 
And my heart long East Wade out for me 
 I’ll be coming down the dusty road 
 Turn eyes and seek out the sun Buckle my knees 
 I’ve been summoned to the hallowing oak 
Sow soil and seed, I am done 
Down the dusty road It was moons ago.

about

The ‘Sleeping Ships’ & ‘Poachers at Dawn’ EPs are two otherworldly, sometimes haunting collections of lo-fi recordings that Wooden Maria’s Oliver Muto has been holding onto for quite a while…

“I see them as soundtracks to movies that haven’t been made yet & it’s high time these songs saw the light of day. Some have been filed away for nearly 7 years with the intention of tweaking this lyric or re-recording that section, but when I rediscovered them in their entirety I realised they tell the best story in their original, raw & untouched form.”
