These days of wandering,
Blood blindfold armory,
I want to hold you close,
Oh, comfort me.
We’ll glide down these crowded streets
And see the kids who plead
For something to love.
If this is all there is—
Hashtags and genesis
And heads of state all made from
Papier mâché—
We’re washing the eyelids
Of our kin,
It’s mourning in America.
I keep dreaming that I’m climbing up a dusty road
To the top of a cold clear mountain,
Guided by a voice on the radio, it says,
Your feet are the future, so keep on walking
Toward the little piles of broken stones.
When silent spring began,
It seemed God had a plan
To strip the scales from the eyes of the shiftless
The shirt-sleeved, the sun-dressed,
The new baptized witnesses.
But watch how the emperor
Feeds his prey to keep the truth at bay,
And now we’re fighting over scraps again.
We are the Saints;
We are the Saints.
But in that dream I see a circle of light and hope,
And strangers looking deep in the eyes
Of someone they thought they didn’t know, they say,
Your feet are the future, so keep on walking
Toward the little piles of broken stones.
These days of wandering,
Blood blindfold armory,
I want to hold you close,
Oh, comfort me.
We’ll glide down
These empty streets
And see the blue and green After the flood.

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023

My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
