    For those of you who like to hold your musical delivery method, I offer you my expertly crafted CD version of "Saturn." Printed on robust recycled cardboard, the jacket features a bed of finest plastic in which sits your CD, waiting for you whenever you need a good dose of Brooklyn Rock-and-Soul, Elijah Tucker-style. Featuring photography by Ben Lazar and Ahron Foster, the CD makes a great gift...as in, you can wrap it and hand it to your loved one and they will know you actually thought about them in advance, rather than just clicking a download button and smiling sheepishly. Do the right thing.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    For those who want the most honest, richest and truest experience of Saturn, the Limited Edition vinyl is the only way to go. Though the digital version sounds great, if you want to hear the album the way it was meant to be heard (and you can't get to a studio to listen to the 1/4" tape mixes), this is your best option. The album was done entirely on an old Trident board to a Studer 2" tape machine, mixed to tape and mastered straight to vinyl--when you put this record on, you will hear a true analog creation--from our lips and fingers to your ears, no binary code in the way. And it is a rich experience indeed. Give one to all the vinyl enthusiasts in your life!

lyrics

A Crimson Gleam

She sent a shock in the night
Drilled my skull, let in more light
Ten long years to a broken heart
Nothing to do when my soul’s broke apart

I ate my essence by a stream
My feet were bleeding a crimson gleam
As I walked back to my bed
Love Love Love Love
Is what led me here

And she’ll hold me, that’s all she’s ever done
All the blood that I’ve bled has flown into one
And the salt and the tears and the grain and the brine
And all of my relations are all ghosts in a line
We’ll break every rule just before it’s been made
And we’ll be not the fools to think we can save
Our selves and our minds, our dollars and our dimes
Least of all not these songs sure won’t last very long

I think of food like a lusty wife
I want it in me day and night
I’ll sleep through breakfast
But I’ll eat lunch twice
Passion’s no virtue
Until it’s a vice
