soleil It’s sonically ambitious and interesting. Paul’s lyrical ability is strong, as always.

dorkopotamis POSTDATA and Wintersleep have earned so much goodwill with me that there was no question as to whether or not I'd pre-order this album. Of course I would.

That said, I'm not connecting with this one. A couple of tracks (Circular Ruins, Moons) stand above the rest as being really... not for me. The others are more accessible, but are missing something. They feel much more obviously pop-y and are maybe fun listens initially, but they're very of-the-time.

Looking forward to the next one.

Mine The Sea 03:28
I don’t know who I am Cancelled all of my plans I’m just trying to make a life here but goddamn I know you’re ballin’ We’ll get together again I’m just trying to live life I’m just trying to be free Separate all my wants from my needs But goddamn I know you’re ballin’ We’ll get together again I hear you calling We’ll get together Mine the sea Swim the deep Endlessly How do I know you? How do I know you? Climb your tree Pine for me Endlessly The lengths that we go through The lengths that we go through How? You’re the key to my plans You’re the blood on my hands You’re the death of me I’m sure of But goddamn I know you’re ballin’ We’ll get together again You’re the how and the why You’re the morning and night All my life I don’t understand But goddamn I know you’re ballin’ We’ll get together again I hear you calling We’ll get together Mine the sea Swim the deep Endlessly How do I know you? How do I know you? How? Climb your tree Pine for me Endlessly The lengths that we go through How do I know you? How? Out there never know why Fall from the sky We’re flying Inhale Cover your eyes I’ll cover mine I want to get high beyond our senses Get Dressed to the 9s And dance like there’s no-one left Your love is sublime beyond our senses There's nowhere to find that isn’t inside ourselves You make me so high beyond my senses Get Dressed to the 9s And dance like there’s nothing left My love you’re my might My strength, my weakness There's nothing to find that isn’t inside ourselves Mine the sea Swim the deep Endlessly How do I know you? How do I know you? How? Climb your tree Pine for me Endlessly The lengths that we go through How?

Run Wild 03:42
Dreams run wild Dreams run wild Unadulterated bliss I’ve committed the mortal sin Of trusting my heart, of loving again Of letting love win Defenceless to your screams and shouts Pull me every which way out and inside again No one’s innocent I’m guilty as sin I’m guilty as sin Dreams run wild Dreams run wild Careful who you call your friends Look at where their loyalty ends Where are they now Where were they then? Where have they ever truly been? No one gets to hold you down No one gets to pull that crown off of your head It was never meant for anyone but you to wear So let your dreams run wild Dreams run wild Dreams run wild Maybe I’m a dead man oh me, oh Play me right in your hands Oh I can’t wait to see My love, my dark hold your spark you’re whose sake I keep My love my dark light my spark hold your love for me My love my lark my spark You light my dreams my darling Run wild let your dreams run wild Run wild let your dreams run wild Run wild let your dreams run wild Run wild let your dreams run wild Dreams run wild Dreams run wild Run wild let your dreams run wild Run wild let your dreams run wild Run wild let your dreams run wild Run wild let your dreams run wild

You look to the stars they tell you who you are Look to the stars yeah you’ll never know They all burned out so many years ago Play out our lives in the afterglow She’d leave tonight after the lights when out After the storm cut the power lines Somewhere in a dream she wrote the journey out She wrote the streets in her memory’s eyes Pull on her jeans button up her shirt Walk down the stairs of a former life Holding her breath, at one with her shadow Open the door to the future sky To the reaches of the stars To the shadows in the dark Will we make it through the night? That night after work he would follow her with out a word or a second thought Through every street, through every borough Into the deep of her silent heart With her every step, with every pirouette Under the stars its a picture show They all burned out so many years ago We only dance in the afterglow To the reaches of the stars To the shadows of the dark Will we make it through the night? To the reaches of the stars To the reaches of her stars To the shadows in the dark Will we make it through the night? We can make it through the night You look to the stars they tell you who you are Look to the stars You look to the stars they tell you who you are Look to the stars You look to the stars they tell you who you are Look to the stars, yeah you never know

Holy Hollow 03:13
I will climb the highest halls To the brink over the top I will free fall in your soft caress Holy hollow I will unfold In the folds & creases Your tomorrows Holy hollows I will dive the deepest depths of your love & illusions I will free fall in your soft caress Holy hollow I will unfold In the folds & creases Your tomorrows, holy hollows I will free fall in your soft caress Holy hollows I will unfold In the folds & creases Your tomorrows Holy hollows Your soft caress Your soft caress Your soft caress Your deepest depth I will free fall in your soft caress Holy hollows I will unfold In the folds & creases Your tomorrows, holy hollows I will free fall in your soft caress Holy hollows I will unfold In the folds & creases Your tomorrows, holy hollows

Dead Man 03:37
All your secret suffered silence Every promise you’ve abandoned You were a dead man holding your glass Revived alive for one last second chance Oh and I know I know I love you now I love you now I always did I don’t know why I don’t know how I know our luck runs out, our luck runs out I always knew I don’t know why I don’t know how Every premise you asserted Shattered blindly in a moment I was a dead man holding your glance Revived alive for one last second chance Oh, can’t let go I know I love you now I love you now I always did I don’t know why I don’t know how I know our luck runs out, our luck runs out I always knew I don’t know why I don’t know how I know I love you now I love you now I always did I don’t know why I don’t know how I know our luck runs out, our luck runs out I always did I don’t know why I don’t know how I love you now I love you now I love you now I love you now

I know you know he won’t ever he won’t crave your heart crave your heart crave you I know you know he was gone before it ever started it ever started it ever Cut you with the full moon of his love and left the park, left the park, left you Bleeding in the darkest darkness you forgot your heart forgot your heart forgot you What’s it to you now? What’s it to you? What’s it to you now? What’s it to you? I know you know he won’t ever he just played the part played the part played you I know you know he was gone before it ever started before it ever started cut you Cut you with the full moon of his love to pull apart to pull apart and watch you Bleeding in the sparkless darkness but you won’t break apart break apart it’s not you What’s it to you now? What’s it to you? What’s it to you now? What’s it to you?

Moons 05:22
You were a photograph Falling away, away Becoming a future tense Becoming imaginary Becoming the darkness tell me who I am You’re language no one understands You’re a fortress they can’t penetrate You’re the darkness the event horizon The darkness, tell me who I am You’re a language no one understands You’re a fortress they can’t penetrate You’re the darkness the event horizon When will you realize You are the path you crave You’re are the characters You’ are the roads unpaved Twisting through the darkness Tell me who I am You’re language no one understands Crack of lightning looking for revenge You’re a darkness, the event horizon A darkness Tell me who I am (I won’t let go again, I won’t let go oh I) Reanimating You are the dreams you make Tell me you’re a darkness tell me who I am You’re a language they can’t understand You’re a fortress they can’t penetrate You’re the ocean, bottom of the grave What’ll come of you and I? It’s a darkness falling from the sky Clap of thunder, echo in the eye Crack of lightning tell me its a lie You’re a liar I know who you are Are you so sure? Burn it, verify You’re the towers falling into ash You’re the last kiss just before the crash You’re a country of ineffable wealth You a culture eating up itself In the darkness, tell me who I am You’re the darkness, tell me who I am In the darkness Reanimating, becoming yourself again Becoming yourself again, reanimating You are the paths you take You are the dreams you make Reanimating Reanimating Becoming your future tense Becoming yourself again Reanimating Reanimating Becoming yourself again Becoming yourself again You are the dreams you make You are the dreams you make You are the dreams you make You are the dreams you make You are the dreams you make You are the dreams you make

We decay, we decay my love love Put away put away your makeup You’re everything I ever wanted But couldn’t bring myself to bring up Will you let me in your light love? Will you let me in your light love? Will you let me in your light love? Crick, crack twigs underfoot Click, clack here’s where the bullet got put Through the middle of my grey matter Through the middle of my heart out came the flood In the middle of our loves clatter In the middle of my heart love came a flood Will you let me feel your light love In the middle of my mind Will you let me feel your light love Let me feel your light love Let me be your light love Let me feel your light love Let me feel your light love Goddamn give me something, I’m not used to Goddamn, needing something like I need you You are always on my mind, love Will you let me in your light, love? Will you let me in your light, love? Will you let me in your light, love? Clack, clack twigs underfoot Crick crack twigs underfoot Twigs underfoot Caught you in the flicker Caught you in the Will you let me in your light, love

Try 04:16
I’m sick of the road But maybe I belong to it Turning to gold And I don’t care if its all counterfeit I’m too far gone now If I turn back I’ll get eaten by the vampires Those ominous clouds Slowly but surely getting uglier & uglier Try, Try Try another road, drive until you break down Try, Try Weather all the storms drive into the eye now Try, Try Try another road, drive until you break down Try, Try Try another road its okay to break down Is this where the road ends? Maybe I was born for it Turn it to gold I don’t care if its all counterfeit It’s too far gone now If I turn back I’ll get eaten by the liars Those ominous clouds Slowly but surely getting prettier & prettier Try, Try Try another road, drive until you break down Try, Try Drive another road, alright if you break down Try, Try Try another road, drive until you break down Try, Try Weathered all the storms, drive into the eye now To the end of the road I would have never believed it Past everything that you think you’re owed I know nothings ever given I don’t know how you survive I just know now you’ll survive it Its everything money couldn’t buy Ill tell you now but you gotta try Try Try another road, drive until you break down Try, try Weathered all the storms, drive into the eye now Try, try Try another road, drive until you break down Try, try Weather all the storms, drive into the eye now Try another road it’s okay to break down

Raven 06:05
Half-drunk coffee in my hand, raven on my back I’ll never truly be forgiven in my own heart And in my head, panic attack It ain’t here yet but I feel it coming on This is the calm before the storm before the calm Before the storm, before the calm Sometimes I like to jumble all the words Until whatever meaning they had becomes obscure, holy & pure I’ll never be forgiven in my own heart of that I’m sure Turn the ignition, feel the baby purr Bought it at an auction somewhere a few years back Could hardly afford it but everything became about that black Cadillac It was like an omen or a dream, the purest song I could feel the weight lifting See it dissolve, completely gone I aint there yet but I feel it coming off Fake it to make it, gotta be weak before you’re strong Dusk on the highway Wind humming a song Can’t make out the words yet but I’m still trying to sing along I’ll never be forgiven for all I’ve done wrong All I’ve done wrong In my own heart In my own heart All I’ve done wrong All I’ve done wrong I wanna see you, be a better friend I’ll never truly be forgiven in my own heart If I can’t have your heart to tend to Took a picture of a cardinal sitting on the other fence It flew away before I got there but I can still see her red fragments Traces of the wings in my own mind, in my own head On the tip of my tongue in the forever falling avalanches Put it away in my pocket for some other dark night or day I need it for Beautiful bright streaks of red paint Holy & pure I’ll never be But I can Hold both things in this way in my mind, my heart Shoulders & teeth Multitudes of a spirit So many things Free falling, floating, calling, soft silences Darkness & light Defeat & fight Blindness & sight Black raven eyes, Black raven eyes You in twilight
