Sandalwood Haze EP

Sage on the hill Blurred noise filled the air like a mist In evening sunrises and morning sunsets Kaleidoscope’s flashes glow Uneclipsed the moon Peppermint smile forgives Time burnt candle wick Drift along the stream of time Summon words that hypnotize

about

In many ways, these songs can be seen as compliments to Sky Picnic’s output, as all of these (minus one) were written during sessions for the Paint Me A Dream LP, but just don’t really fit in with that scene. Hence the solo EP, as I am a believer in no good song being left behind. Three-fourths of the songs are deeply rooted in psychedelic folk sounds, while the closing track comes from my flirtation with writing film music.
All of these were recorded solo in my studio (using only 4 tracks at most!), and feature acoustic guitar, sitar, tabla, Mellotron and vocals run through a Klemt Echolette. These are by no means meant to be “high fidelity.” The process was very therapeutic in many ways, and really just an exercise in writing and recording on my own. Leah worked her artwork magic as usual and did provide some guidance.
Enough babbling. Check it out. I’ve made it pay what you like, as it’s just about the music and the love. Do promise if you download it for free to spread the word about Sky Picnic!
