"Up in Northern California, amongst the giant redwoods of Humboldt County, has emerged a psych- folk classic. Ghosts, This Is Survival is loose and varied, with lots of spacey sounds and vocals, (not unlike Gong), and may very well be the first record I’ve heard featuring both a turntablist and sitar player..."

The Seal's Wife
Words by Ameila Beechwood

My baby,
how I love thee.
Child of the sea,
beg forgive me.

A band of horses,
wild white and frothing,
pull your chariot cradle
far from me.

Grandmama awaits you
in forest deep and green.
Currents rock you-
with fishes you will dream.
