about

A tale of love, trauma, religious syncretism and man-eating garden gnomes...

lyrics

Dear Darling,
Today, I heard voices in my head
"Come to the garden", they said
"Tip on your toes, don't trip on the hose,
and take off your clothes."

And then, there was blood on our bed
After these voices in my head
Traces of where I was led
are all but a hunger unfed

Dios por santo, Espiritu santo
Libranos del mal, Libranos del mal

"We are the gnomes
who live in your homes
our Jesus is electric
our crosses asymmetric
An egg or a leg
is all that we beg
your kindness for a shed
your thoughts for a bed."

(Dios por santo!)

Darling, there's blood on your head
After these voices rang dead
"Come to the kitchen", they said
"Fetch us a knife, go be a good wife,
and carve out your strife."

I should have refused, but instead:
"Lend us his flesh", they pled,
"Sugar and spice, don't make us ask twice,
Just one small slice."

Dios por santo, Espiritu santo
Libranos del mal, Libranos del mal

"We are the gnomes
who live in your homes
our Jesus is electric
our crosses asymmetric
An egg or a leg
is all that we begged
your kindness for a shed
your soul we thee wed."

Hoorahland

Fantastic album by a band we wish we had known about sooner... The Cravats push boundaries the way all great artists should. Jack of None

Visions of Bodies Being Burned

Absolutely awesome production by an exceptional group of artists. Clipping is experimental hip-hop at its finest, in our humble opinion. Jack of None
