Out of Place

by Object X

supported by

preciousken From Reno Nevada a band I was not familiar with but shot to #2 on this chart. I really liked the single, a deep resonant poetry in the vocals and Nick Cave style organic ghost story style. I really love the vocal harmony here, as well as the horror movie samples from Bela Lugosi's 1931 Dracula. The space opera bending guitars add a wonderful tension to the narrative. This track was a wonderful surprise I didn't know I needed.

lyrics

Something’s crawling in my space, out of place
And I don’t like it
Well it slithers through my room by the light of the moon
And I don’t want it
It’s a shadow in the dark that leaves an icy mark
And I can feel it
Brushing up against my skin then it disappears again
Can you believe it

And it follows me around when I’m walking through town
Like a cold ever-present stare
When I’m driving alone, feel it deep in my bones
Like a ghost in an empty lair
In the darkness, in the fog, in the vacant lot
It makes me want to run and hide
But no matter where I go there’s no escape you know
And it eats me up inside

What’s that under the bed
Whispers in my ear
Creeping through my head
Am I better off dead

Something’s out of place and I don’t like it
Something’s out of place and I don’t want it
Something’s out of place and I can feel it
Something’s out of place, will you believe it

Equilibrium

Another classic by Ian Staer. This album has two tracks, each of which operates in its own consistent universe and both of them draw you in with gravatic pull. This album is full of beautiful, synchronous and spacious mind expanding music. The merging themes from the two tracks provide a perfect landing from your voyage into inner Space. Nimrod Scott

"Lost In The Woods", my favourite one for sure, but the whole album is for sure something you need to check out. Well thought out songwriting and cool use of synthesizers, well placed. I like it a lot. Yves Schelpe (Psy'Aviah)
