DESCRIPTION:
From the album ‘From Shores of Sleep’ • Pay what you want: http://tndr.lv/mmecanique

Passing on the water’s edge
And wrinkling some time
You set your mind on moving along.
Pacing forth with pant-less breath
In the shade of the shadow-less palms--
Gold pastures of dawn--
O, the open sea!
Though the tides are new and high
Your eyes are anchored still to some old ideas
And some effortless tricks
That comfort you and carry you
While the fleas and flies still bite
Like the salty air on steel
O, what do you still feel?
Passing from the water’s edge
And tending the lines
You set your mind on moving along.
For well beyond the breakers’ crash
Harvests of the blue horizon’s loom
Will offer a new and open sea
That weaves the stars and deep--
Reasons for our faith--
As the currents state and set to reveal
O, what you do still feel!
They’ll comfort you and carry you
Where the aging canvas fills
And the salty air you’ll feel...

Using water as the album’s central image, Musée Mécanique has crafted a story both surreal and insightful, meticulous and moving. It’s a record about travels and transitions. And Musée Mécanique knows a thing or two about transition: To perform the new arrangements live is a daunting task requiring the once-minimal group to utilize more than a dozen keyboards and an array of acoustic instruments, from flugelhorn to lap-steel to musical saw. Nevertheless, having swelled from a duo into a solid five-piece, the band now pulls it off with impressive passion and precision.
