lyrics
I’m waiting, I’m watching—I’ve seen her here before!
I’ve spied from a distance her lonesome tightrope perching form
She knows when I’m nearing, she never welcomes my approach
She lets me come closer, then flies and cries her strict reproach
Kingfisher, I’ll catch you in pictures and in words
Kingfisher! I know you’re more than just a fickle bird
I’ll have you clasped between my hands
You’ll wonder why you’d ever flown
You’ll whisper secrets to a friend
Your winking wisdom shared—my own!
If only you’d just come a bit closer!
I’m patiently listening for sounds that someone got to near
I’m desperately hoping your friendless flight will lead you here
I’d just like a glimpse of your white and blue fine feathers up close
Every time you fly farther, laughing, turning up your nose
And when I’ve given up, you’ll rest and perch your tiny feet
And when I’m walking unaware you’re right before me
Then we’ll meet!
But you’ll fly
Kingfisher, I’ll trap you in pictures and in words
Kingfisher! I know you’re more than just a fickle bird
It’s safe to open, crack my fingers
You’re happy now—you’d like to linger
No! Hands empty, never were you mine
You’re flying, teasing from behind!
If only you’d just fly a bit closer

Willowy electronic music from Marc Riordan constructed from pillowy tones and quiet atmospherics make for an absorbing listen. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2021
Combining wry, cutting lyrics and whimsical arrangements, the Canadian art-rockers' latest is a tilt-a-whirl of a breakup album. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2019
Ben Chasny's spellbinding guitar work is as always at the center of his rhythmic, meditative psych-folk. This one sparkles. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 8, 2017
