Recurring 02:55
To stay at home I'd feel it stronger This silence couldn't wait much longer This residue I feel it linger And slipping through my fingers I'll start the story at the end I'm a 25 year old man Staring at a space above your eyes I count the minutes slowly passing by I'll start the story at the end I'm a 25 year old man And struggling to find a direction And mystified by this attraction Words cannot describe a thing tonight Our lips are zipped up too tight So you have to go now I'll understand it somehow Gonna take some time To erase you from my mind

This moment you know it will not last Its already a part of the past But there's no harm Don't disregard Let the seed grow inside of you There's always time for something new Memories far but never are few So let's create Let's get it made Let's burn bright and never fade away I've never seen you so happy, as you are you today So glad to see you this way, hope it doesn't ever change Sure you'll fall Once in a while Its unavoidable I wanted to be the one who Helped you get this far Always thought that I've known you And this is who you are This moment you know it will not last Its already a part of the past But there's no harm Don't disregard Let the seed grow inside of you

Red eyes The new sun shines Its morning light racing through My my Clear bright blue And how are you? Its simple Its complicated Its nothing at all Its everything Wide eyed Still in disguise I'm disgusted We can't discuss this Its everything Its nothing at all Its complicated Its simple I had to go there So i could come back Now all around me Is all inside me

Toto 03:39
People laughing People standing still Someone's screaming Someone's popping pills No one cries No one bats an eye We're hypnotised We're all caught in the tide This one he's got a positive message You're gonna be hearing him And even if you listen closely It never gets under your skin Its the thing after the fact Its not front to back Its not front to back I won't lie I would rather die Than preach to you from a custom made pedestal

End Zone 01:42
Whatever gets you through the night Whatever makes you feel alright The clock keeps tickin Skin is itchin And when it ends it only just begins Now I'm in it Deep, deep, deep Yesterday left promise See no solace Here I go again again and again and again
7.
When they said you'll grow up to be a man So enjoy youth while you can I didn't understand When they said nothing ever goes to plan The shit always hits the fan I didn't understand Been going along trying to disprove A point that was never made I didn't understand My problems are only as big as I make them Guess I'll have another cigarette And think about it And I wonder will I still be thinking Six feet under I didn't understand Cos when they said you'll grow up to be a man So enjoy youth while you can I didn't understand I'll make my problems as big as I can make them Then I'll have another cigarette And think about it It'll be better next time I know it will Its all a joke I'm choking on this smoke
8.
For those prone to remember This may come as a surprise The one you see before you Cannot believe his eyes I love now as much as then I just don't realise it yet Questioning the patterns The opposite may be true Terraforming Its written on my face And it terrifies me

Saturnine 03:40
Shock and horror why'd we even bother To leave the comfort of our nest And try to rely on each other All the words that echo in my head And the ever present sense of dread Unfamiliar streets have found their form and realised reasons Sinking in to bitumen I greet the seasons Non-romances We were dreaming dancers Oh awaken to a sweating soul left shaken All the words that echo in my head And the ever present sense of dread And I'm watching everywhere I tread And I remember everything you said If I could I would and I really should so far so good So far to go its not what you know its what you do Saturnine this satellite is lost in orbit Make a path to steer this craft away from what absorbs it Promise to perspire in order to inspire Ignite the fire and watch desire burn out brighter If I could I would and I really should so far so good So far to go, its not what you know its what you do
11.
Drove 04:44
Looking back on my future There was fire in the air and water on the earth Looking ahead to my past Earth was air and fire water. Through winding country roads we drove And I closed my eyes to see the colour red Red as it remains Red and still the same The blood that flows within me Staring at the road unfolding ahead Trees and fields of brown and green Whoosh past relentlessly Reflecting and refracting Accepting the light that danced around our moving space Seatbelts burning skin As a song on the radio begins She smiles and sings, And I'm taken in With the city whispering its promises to me, Here's where you can be all you can be She's gone now, she's gone now But I'm still here, I'm still here Still lost in skyscraper shadows You'll find me in skyscraper shadows

BUY VINYL HERE: tenzenmen.bandcamp.com/album/lp


All life on Earth began innocently in the primordial, prenatal waters of creation, and so too it was that love drew its first delicate and vulnerable breath. If you have known love you will be aware of the terrible pounding and crushing pressure pushing all oxygen from your chest, leaving you gasping for air and looking to take up the nearest sharp object and carve gills into your neck. This is the spirit of the ocean calling to your most ancient protozoan ancestral memory, speaking its most primal intuition and evoking a near implacable yearning to drown yourself in the nearest body of water.

Consider this, then, the conceptual crux of the debut LP from regenerate Brisbane dandies Seahorse Divorce; 11 tracks of unfettered, unapologetic and organic affection prevailing in the face of the invariable estrangement and painful separation of life. Lacking ulterior motive or any concept of predestination, the songs are offered in homage to the other, the oft-ignored remainder after opposing and dominating forces of creative or emotional obviousness wear themselves thin.

Left, then, to wander through an ever-shifting landscape of light and darkness in search of hearth and hospice, as street urchins Seahorse Divorce simultaneously abandon and are abandoned by the bygone progenitors that first gave them life, and yet are clearly distinguished and inescapably marked by their genetic and cultural heritage.

Recorded live, Sun Distorted, punk in intent but never in form, it is unlikely that Seahorse Divorce is the proselytising litany of a new age but have stranger things not happened?

Vinyl and Cd format also available at Tenzenmen Records, shows and independent stores.
