about

The first full-length album from batteryboy since becoming a trio. batteryboy has been described as by Andrea Swensson from 89.3 The Current as "reminiscent of Cloud Cult’s acoustic work and neo-folkies like Bon Iver." Daisy Mazy of Sianet Radio calls batteryboy's work, "...music that inspires others to write."

Now it's available to you on vinyl or CD (both include digital download) or just the digital download.

about

Originally a solo project by Cobey Rouse, batteryboy has grown to include vocalist/violinist Shannon Frid (Cloud Cult) and keyboardist/guitarist Eric Carranza. Frid and Carranza are the perfect complement of beauty and composure to Rouse’s frantic display of acoustic guitar strumming, heartfelt vocals & pedal-pounding of his three floor drums.

Track Name: winter's gate
walk until my bones are cold
dead of winter taken hold
slowly I begin to understand
deep into the dark of night
nothing else but bitter white
I reach into the darkness for your hand

find a place to keep us warm
sheltered for now from the storm
keep together close we'll last the night
waves begin to turn to ice
dancing flames begin to die
the force of you against me gives me life

wrapped in blankets wrapped in heat
slowly hearts begin to beat
winter's gate lies straight ahead
we'll take it with force, we'll leave the rest

between two trees the sun will rise
all your worries all your cries disappear into the waves at night
float away into the waterside
Track Name: up for air
secrets spilled like rain never fill the cup again
the feelings that remain, never coming up for air these days
the feeling came again
the sun light’s up ahead
the hope it spreads like love again

i found the great design
i found the reason why
the day that i was born, the day i wondered why

marching forth like other men i never wanted to pretend like them
embracing lives i never lived
becoming much more than i could dream
the satellites overhead
your breath against my neck
your eyes they tell me i’m alright

i found the great design
i found the reason why
the day that i was born, the day i wondered why

the water fills the cup hold still
i climb my way back up the hill
be careful not to steal the light, surrender to the dark of night
fly high above, don’t fall behind
hold on tight, hold on so tight
i finally found the great design, the day i was born
the day i wondered why
