about

Bright and dreamy, Mick Turner’s instrumental beds flourish with the intervention of Helen’ Franzmann’s vocal melodies, the combined strains of which evoke feels of love as dislocation, beautiful and strange. Mess Esque’s beguiling travelogue of restless, somnambulist wanderings floats rightfully on with these boo-ful tracks!

lyrics

Armour your amor:

In the days among the now and then
Set aside arise
It's today that weighs it in
Here and now love lies

Send it off under urchin papered skies
Throw it into the foam crested brine (x2)

Armour your Amor (x3)
Amor your Armour(x2)

Lay bare a grace you hold
You’re alright

Scrap the spent jays of old
Set aside arise

Send it off under urchin papered skies
Throw it into the foam crested brine (x2)

Armour your Amor (x3)
Amor your Armour(x2

Peerless "punk" jazz. I particularly love the sound of the drums & the trumpet. Sweet, intense, full of fervor. Griffyn Louis Denizard
