1.
Murder of Crows - Father oh father there's poison in my bones Nearly two thousand years and it will not go Wade through the night & I see you're shadow stir With coins on his eyes and whiskey on his breath So I stumbled down to the lock where the boy was found Three little words force fed to feed me my worth I know that I've wronged but still I tighten those ropes & push out that chair Judged for my life by a murder of crows It's the truth.
2.
Sleeping Ships - Out of her mouth and into the breeze It got away Holly I know it's early days Early days The tides are low and skies limbo A sea of age The wind in her hair, whole world in my arms Early days Throw caution to the winds they howl, the winds they howl And whisper You fools My heart it lies with sleeping ships And sunken jewels An arm for a leg, an eye for an eye, the curse will rise Out of the deep To lay your heart with sleeping ships Could set her free You have wooden arms and a splintered heart How fisher folklore fell apart In those flooded eyes, if pearls could cry It's beauty spawn by hell's own fires And from the land I shake and cower At every soul that you devoured Amid chaos, how I am lost And haunted by those mermaid locks And those demon horns and feathered wings Through crashing waves the sirens sing.

Giants 04:30
Giants - On the night you took my life Dark clouds formed in the sky As I lay upon the ground Magpies picked at my crown Black crows shadowed the light One for every lie We're seen as rising giants But no one's death's defiant On the night she took my life A giant lost his height.
4.
Monsoon 07:02
Monsoon - Close his eyes She's all he sees And an ocean filled With memories I don't know Who's to blame 'Cause when it's still Feels all the same. Monsoon, Come soon In the eye He'll dance with wolves And rain will cleanse His aching soul Hold them high When thunder calls The storms have come Now let her go Monsoon, Come soon

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.”
