Red Spring 03:47
you are a pendulum like a rustling tree hands like monarch wings always moving but touching nothing we are the two eyes of the man in the desert i see what you see the warming matter that gradually gathers a heat wave ripples like a living thing we came across an open grave of cattle reeking like life does its leaving rising upwards through the smell the flies all gathered on the fencepost waiting moving as if one and woven moving as if with something stolen like a magnet forcing motion change we’re picking up on what’s unspoken moving as if one and woven

Blowguns 03:23
take the hand of the changeling be led through her storm laughing lantern teeth gnashing wide, white wolf eyed invitation bells on a ring keys to the place where dunes of light make möbius waves i left my body when i met you fingers stretched smoothing tempest hair antlers a new use for hands doe eyed wraith opaque set to running without knowing why without knowing why i left my body when i met you i met my body when i left you

Try 02:58
men do not pace the earth in that way only creatures don’t stand upright no one should stoop so and i don’t believe in God but i believe in the truth and i believe in you and i believe that everybody should try men do not pace the earth in that way as if a tiger in a cage

An Old Stone 04:58
strike shoulder to grass there is a clap spike of light your head a halo graphic pound you disappear there will be plenty of second chances in other nightmares to find you but i... put my head down wake up in four hours i dreamt the whole thing walking through rows of appleblossoms in white robes and in darkness outlines in glass lit up form like neon signs electric cadence it was something holy i couldn’t put my finger on it took us longer than we thought to become strangers i keep thinking you’re just around the bend just ahead but i can’t get to you roll back over i’m not missing anything else meet at the restaurant decide you’re not hungry you look tired this is an island or desert there is no exit glued to vinyl booths with bottomless cups no egress only endless love ending us there you are sitting on the steps the steps of the house we built together with someone else

Sin Eater 05:10
low hanging, swinging end of wire spark fire on black tarmac roadside tornado-red-sky wind built bricks lightning defies the palate of tonight is enough to paint the walls of this scene on our open eyes learned how to build by watching the sun rise body controls construct the new night spread apart all i own below ladder rungs i wrote broken things that belonged to me in their place in measured space from above a cityscape wind chased ash my chronology building
6.
Indian Pool 05:39
i tried to carve you out of granite found you later, glass and sand lightning divots in your chest thunderbolt in hand at the indian pool all red, yellow, and blue the trees, the sky, and the face of a fool broken the surface broken by passage broken by time three goats and a bridge and a charred boardwalk and my own wall of coals coming back from the goldrush east to new england my heart of clay snow is grey there is no time to waste there is no time sun is down all the leaves green must brown there is no time to waste there is no time well I know you want to find a place to call your own but baby, you’ve gotta know that home is always in my arms snow is grey your cheeks are red as clay we’re sweating at the break of day in our own time leaves are brown everybody’s fallen down we burned down your childhood town at the end of the day so come you now to final ardor and with our eyes surely see sights of glowing ruby harbor your skin is suited right for me
7.
Suns 05:21
nothing was lost in the fire our house was made out of smoke anyway our faces were dust in their frames and ashes come from, we’ve all come from the sun above if i ever knew a genius he grew up sad now all that’s left is a punching bag oh, no i mean what’s left is his body burned by the sun above, alone she throws my voice to the wind i’m never gonna get it back before the air freezes up and she is dead or sleeping; can’t remember who i am the sun above, alone
8.
you’re tied by a string to the things you swore you’d never forget there’s a trace on you you don’t have to escape stay on one condition dismiss the dreams you call premonitions you’re looking for some meaning wipe off your mirror without steam like a thin wall it all becomes clear i extend my reach beyond my ends but find that nothing catches on i know i dreamt a perfect song i’m left with hints of what has gone You swear by the force that you invent you’re lead by the compass in your head is what you grip a vice keeping you instead? when you carry weight, do it with grace stay on one condition dismiss the dreams you call premonitions see all that can grow what you still don’t know see all you’ll let go what you don’t have to know

about

Handsome Avalanche is the final release from Mountain Interval. Recorded in March of 2012, instrumental tracking was done live so as to capture the energy of the band at its peak. This album serves as a record of our hard work and a reminder of the care and dedication we always put into the creation of our music. It is for us, our friends, our families, and for the people who worked with us along the way. Thank you forever!
