  • For the physical & tactile-minded...The boys at The Facebreaker have designed and printed a small book for your analog hands as a counterpart to your digital ears. This handmade, full color, 5.75" square, 32-page book comes complete with centerfold Facebreaker woodcut reproduction for the very best of fan's walls, inside of closet doors. The contents not only include full color images by The Facebreakers and their favorite Aunt May, but also carry all The Facebreaker-related personnel info and lyrics for your sing-a-long benefits. Since these are printed, stapled and sent one at a time, the process might take a few weeks, but will certainly be a nice addition to any tiny bookcase or tiny coffee table.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Facebreaker via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

V1 if push came to shove i'd fall in love with the way your tide rolls in it slaps on my banks we'll hug and give thanks for the union of land and water V2 Our balancing act A shoreline contract to govern the ebb and the flow But a broken pact and the coasts contract with havoc reeked on all living things below CHORUS they wailed oh oh, dont let us die the waters crept up on the land won't somebody give us a hand cause the mean ole levee's gotten too heavy and it starts to cry oh oh.... (repeat) V3 the rain it came down washed over the ground and the children started to scare saw fear in our eyes as the water did rise and attempted to breach our city's walls V4 as waters turned fierce the meniscus was pierced and rushed o'er walls that we built the sea crashed through the boards and rushed through the wards and we wondered how many it already killed CHORUS V5 we climbed on the rooves as the water did move up the first and the second floors and searched for the cops the gov'ment and God but the only things 'round were the elements at war V6 it tore off the walls of the shopping malls and the doors of everyone's home you cant even use the phone and i feel all alone cause i cant find my brother we're searching for one another nobody's seen our mother and we wail... CHORUS

about

This first album is drawn from the high and lonesome sounds of folks eating dinner, organizing their garages, harvesting wheat, celebrating birthdays, swimming...
