The video for “Tributary” from our EP Porous is out now!
It was directed by our pal Scott Marshall. Scott has previously directed music videos by Guided by Voices, Dinosaur Jr., and his fantastic band Chavez (amongst many many other amazing endeavors).

TRIBUTARY
Blown into a barroom
Blown into the back room
Blown in the bathroom
And then blown out like a tire
Burned out like a tired old drunk
Then settled calm like a bald old monk
The silence of the mountains
The violence of the mind games no longer a pain
Just the winds and the rains
And the rocks and the birds
And no more words no more words no more words no more words
Except for this one and this one is me
But me is not me, me is you too
Within you and without you
We are porous, Delores
It’s not a solo, it’s a chorus
Into the sea
The sea of you and me
You and me
Into the Sea
Now p-o-o-r u-s would be the sad pun
But in my new wisdom I like p-o-u-r u-s
As in: pour us out of ourselves
Into this trickly little mountain stream
Here just for the moment from the spring rains
And then it’s gone
Pour us into this stream
And we follow this stream
To the slippery little river
Then to the bigger tributary
Then to the raging Hudson or whatever
Mississippi Nile Rhein Thames Amazon Ganges Yellow Styx whatever
Mississippi Nile Rhein Thames Amazon Ganges Yellow Styx whatever
Then to the sea
Into the sea
The sea of you and me
You and me
Into the Sea
