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

Let’s cut our teeth on what lies beyond
Shaping this whole world cavernous
There is a river--
Endless,
Beneath--
Facing the four winds
Calling dreams we seek.
Can’t fool the man who sleeps on his feet
Testing his wax and feathers
Steel in his veins and blood in his cheek
Pressing the storm to weather
Dreams we seek
Dreams we keep.
Give us this day
Blazing at dawn
Dressed in its flames and tallow
Here on this river--
Endless and deep--
Drawn by the winds
We follow
Dreams we keep
Dreams we seek.

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.
