about

The track is taken from the band’s third album Eating Music, which is scheduled to be released in May 2019 through Apollon Records. The power trio – consisting of Eirik Ørevik Aadland on guitar and vocals, Ola Mile Bruland on bass and Jonas Eide Hollund on drums and vocals – has taken the band in a new direction, creating an album with great variety and contrast.

«Pinhole» is an atmospheric, exploratory and hard-hitting piece of music, built from improvisation and merging sounds from the progressive rock of the 70s right, alt-rock, through to contemporary pop music.
Employing a full horn section, strings, samples, synthesizers and percussion, “Pinhole” has become the sound of several musical forces combining to create an ambitious clash of control and spontaneity.

lyrics

Pinhole

Staring through a pinhole
This is where the light comes in
Waiting for a breakthrough
I would do it all again if I could and
Dressing up in tin foil
My reflections can’t escape

Digging out a black hole
I feel so heavy, I’m bound to fall
Picking up a white dwarf
Who went to ground, but had it all

Maybe I could just break it all
Buy staplers and print doomsday posters
Maybe exposure to solar radiation
Caused my eyes to blink and swell and ooze

Kicking out a poor guest
I cut the strings, I’m hovering
Singing songs of the righteous
Who had their children incarcerated

Maybe we could just fake it all
Plaster cast grins and fulfilled expectations
Maybe the lashes caressing my back
Whirled up a silver stream that rolls and ebbs and flows

Hollow dreams when knocked on make the strangest sounds, a range of sounds
What to say and how to say it when you know your words are

So I watch you from afar
But I don’t mind a second time
Maybe it would be the same
Leapfrogs rushing from the woods, all we do is
Kiss our fates goodbye
Drawing maps in our minds

Wearing bright new colours, I tried to warn you about the rain
Got a crack in my skin, I tried to tell you to seep in
Maybe I could just push you up and let you roll down, like great expectations
Maybe the lightning I see in my sleep is just another cloud
Trying hard to block my view

Hollow dreams when knocked on make the strangest sounds, a range of sounds
What to say and how to say it when you know your words are

You are all I think about
Blisters on my eyelids
If you were to come around
I’d be lost and I’d be found, all I’d do is
Concentrate the light here
Let my thoughts be magnified

Make this day worth waiting for
Take me to a place I know I will
Recognize, it’s like before
Pick me up, I’m getting stomped to the ground
All these years gone by
And you’ve never made a change
