sick balloons- pillow figurines

pillow figurines (pillow fig.) is an interim ep to stave off anticipation for the forthcoming full length, 'telescopes on parade.'

this all too familiar home-fi recorded courting boasts 5 songs culled from the balloons archive, commemorating the birth of jaime marie, sister to scott, and somewhat founder of the band, by way of loaned instruments and sisterly support.

limited to 50 cassettes (march 13th) and 20 hifi lathe cut vinyl (may-ish). pressed by the fine folks at Audio Geography.

unfinished drapes

these are the creeps

we lit the dresses 

of all the jellyfish lawyers

and confidantes

off burnham streets

and washy elevator

hum hum hum hum

droll the skirts

these are not your halos

of worthy beams

marriage and impossible

the treachery of modernist bail

she laughs at all the pills

sunday drugs spent in harlem

self states

i was a sailor
in the jack of all trades
harboring feel folds
and chocolate dresses
strung up on high
from the tenements of a welsh driver minuet

tailgates and popcorn fluffed love
eyes to deadpan
no background checks or resonating locks

hang your hood here
drop the keys in color coded form

anne heche and the barber photoshop
cropped casks and dull lines
drawn from a favorite portrait

the wish is a wink
a handshake at best
the kiss from a pale priestess

hung like every word meant bingo
spelt and spent every waking hour
trying to menace the english language
like a poor standardized test

you're a bunny he proclaimed
dredged from the up-skirts of a normal uphinged happenstance
drolled up stored away

this is too much
not enough
too early for winter
too late for rationing
the only squirrel
backed into the corner for sport

i guess she should have said
it was only a short distance stayed
too many fake trains
wondering astray.
