Tired Eyes, Slowly Burning

Released on the artist's personal Bandcamp page, in various file formats. Album release notes: "1987.Ek had opened for Skinny Puppy on a life-changing coast to coast US /canada tour. Literally a bombardment for the senses , the emotions were poured into this recording just after the conclusion of the voyage. Several pieces only asked for a vocal to be put into place while "You and me and rainbows" was mapped out and realized in the space of a day and a night.It was the second time Tear Garden had entered Mushroom Studios.The first results can be heard on the TG EP which is represented as the last 3 bonus tracks on this extended album." Liner notes for track 5: "The part where Ogre delivers the words features a tape of miniscule cut-ups created by EK who had overworked the pause button on a cassette deck.Incredibly Dwayne once took a seat and accurately identified these miniscule snippets with an 80% success rate. 'Rainbows' was conceived on a nightliner on it's way to DC on a rainy night after a canceeled show in Trenton, new jersey." Liner notes for track 6: "Keys and guitar recorded by Cevin on his portastudio" Liner notes for track 7: "First ever recording of TG.The music was actually a bonus track on a Skinny Puppy cassette; the lyrics were written somewhere over Greenland on a jumbo jet.Much made of '89's a good year"- it refers to the blood spilled during The French Revolution." Liner notes for tracks 8 and 9: "The 2 tracks have been grouped under a single banner as they are linked on the original vinyl and cd issues."
