typhoon // dreams of cannibalism + video

Typhoon. All the bodies are everybody, and the songs likewise. Spiritually cloned and adorned.

Today is a good day. Why? Today the Portland, Oregon-based band Typhoon premiered their Matthew Thomas Ross directed video for Dreams Of Cannibalism. The song, with all of it’s wild ranging folk-rockin’ docility comes from their forthcoming album White Lighter, which drops August 20th, 2013 courtesy of Roll Call Records. My favorite song on the new album is “Common Sentiments,” and man can Kyle Morton sing his heinie off!

Of note, if you like what you hear then check out the bands much lauded and sweetly colossus EP, A New Kind Of House. Peace.


 

 
Dreams Of Cannibalism: Lyrics

unhand me i am not a criminal
though i’ve played a guilty part
in the modern sense that one pretends
their life is original

i wrote a book and i will call it something cynical
the story is slow the hero does not change
and if he can then he won’t anyway
instead his foes and lovers all become identical

i fled the country
i thought i’d leave this behind

but i built the same damn house
on every acre i could find

and i tried to fake my own death
just shake the devils from my mind

i said

unhand me i am not a criminal
and if i am i paid the man just let me go
soon enough you will be dancing at my funeral.
