Karla Alice Renée It's really hard to pick a favorite track on this album because they're all so unique. 'Nightshade' & 'Lemon Tree' would round out my top 3, I think. Super excited to see where these guys end up, the songwriting is brilliant and the juxtaposition of digital/acoustic sounds creates a perfect balance. Catchy, distinct, bright fun with dark ballast. Favorite track: Rising Sand.

Night Shade 03:24
Call me a night shade And fight to stay awake The moon is a waxy mirror Peeling away in flakes My eyes are just sinking diamonds In the depths of a lonely sea I thought that summer Could spread her hair in amber waves All over you and me Falling again, blindly I'll call on those friends, seldomly Falling towards the sun again
2.
Rising Sand 04:11
Hear your footfalls coming round But it doesn't do a whole lot to bring me down Golden sunrise above the trees Is not as sweet as when you're with me Rise and kick up the remedy But it doesn't have a whole lot to do with me A to PA to R to T is not what I want for you and me When I'm tired and I feel the darkness washing over me Stepchild would you give me something Hindsight is fright enough to make you understand The rising sand We're the field rats and run from hawks And we're gonna check our foodstock and change our locks If we stay here in little towns Life is just gonna bring us down Building up decent memories And we'll trust in 1's and 0's to make the sea Wind'll kick up the salty spray While I'll be waiting on vacation days It ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son.

Weathervane 04:17
Temperance like a weathervane In a snowstorm In a silent holiday Keep my blood warm You, you Climb in through And wear the dye of the winter night
4.
Lemon Tree 04:22
Is this who I will always be A spider crawling up the porcelain Catching sunlight through a window screen Oh my, it's not right Looking down away from amber skies Smoking on a stick of dynamite Cradled up in a fire of eyes Oh my, it's not right Red of the rose Staining the snow Which came first, I don't know Call it a choice That I've lost my voice Oh my, it's not right Fate is growing like a lemon tree Spreads its branches over you and me There's darkness underneath the canopy Oh my, it's not right
5.
Collar & Pin 03:52
I'll come crawling out With my fears and doubts Painted on my memory I hesitate to say I've seen better days I've been living by the hanging tree When I was young, I never felt the rain God give me that shield again I will not smother my life Always hanging from a vine Out of my place all the time With this glitch in my design There's a celestial plane Through my windowpane But opacity it comes and goes Collar where I've been With an angel's pin Show me why I was so ill-composed A river runs without the dream of a sea Will I feel that salty breeze Out of my place all of the time With this glitching in my design
6.
Canyonlands 03:51
The rain falls the same way That it has yesterday Like the solemn drops I will stay In love with you My dear I'm torn in two One half belongs to you Give your golden heart to me too And make me whole again With eyes on fire I'm walking on your wire Feel my heart, It stops where you start A dusty window screen A universe between Will it only be what it's been A golden dream When my days are passed If someone were to ask Did I waste time, Am I satisfied? Still my love comes answering
7.
The fog on the window makes way, spreads away At my finger's touch Oh I think I told, know I told Your ear too much I'm human only by composition, got blood in veins Twinging on all my nerves With every sunset ripping through my days I'm searching for A rising curve I want to follow my spirit away from here To a leafy swell across an icy sea There the daffodils will dance at my feet And for the first time I'll really breathe You keep to the easy road through the snow Follow yesterday's footsteps You live in a kingdom of dust and haunted seas Away from the valleys Adventures have started to fill up my windowsill Like fish in a barrel Do I dare disturb the universe The prayers become terse
8.
Coal Miner 05:19
The sky drives me comatose Green grass, dark trees dress the coast And under April rain I'll wait for you my friend Again, again And feel the cold air rising Now I'm, now I'm Back to that five years' darling again You have cold feet in every sense And love by way of recompense And with that slightest turn My bridges home are burned Again, again Back to my jagged wandering Now I'm, now I'm Back to that five years' darling again You tied a string around my waist in December I can't work out its complex lace Or these dying embers Until this line is cut from me I will walk in all your tracks And under summer rain I'll meet you my friend Again, again And feel that gold heart rising Never, never Back to that five years' darling again
9.
Youthemism 03:59
I won't fall asleep for fear of a creeping nightmare A recurring dream where I'm no longer a child And while I'm awake my heart stays wrapped in laughter Like a winter's day kept out with gloves and coats I want a life to call my own No more learning through palindromes I'd take the stars if they only shone I'll meet my makeshift family Beneath the shade of that willow tree And kick my sorrows as they leave In dreaming I see the dust pile up on unused toys While my skeleton grows and my thoughts run cohesive and poised But wandering calls, and my eyes will steadily darken The chattering walls will keep me company But night, she is persistent And the slowest times find me asleep My dreams have grown so consistent That this half-life spreads like lightning on the water And the freshest days will never keep I want a life to call my own No more learning through palindromes I'd take the stars if they only shone I'll meet my makeshift family Beneath the shade of that willow tree They'll keep me out of that creeping dream That keeps my child away from me Wake me up so that I can breathe
10.
Red sun-kissed sky, Oh I cry when you sigh You don't remember me But in a dream I was redeemed Oh how sweet the memory The willow tree and your heartbeat Step down and feel your way around The night wrapped up in black Sadness carved into your face A soul starving for grace
11.
It cracks, it slips, it falls, the doorway to my brain Give me back my eyes, the splattering lies Have blanketed them But oh, signals falling from the skies It hurts that they are just disguises I will wait until I die To hear your contented sigh We are all just trapped in a box with uncharted stars Taunting us I will not settle in dusty corners I'll find a way out Whatever it takes But oh, signals falling from the skies It hurts that they are just disguises I will wait until I die To see an unveiling sky Well my mind is bigger than all of the seas For the power to christen them rests within me I yearn to reach some solar array But the brightest of days they beg me to stay But oh signals falling from the skies It hurts that they are just disguises I will send to no avail A plea past the shadowy veil.

about

Coral Bones Provo, Utah

Originating from a small mountain town in Utah, Coral Bones injects homegrown sentimentality and emotional potency into driving pop beats, while also making time for softer, more nuanced tracks. He is influenced heavily by personal struggles with mental illness and an ever-evolving relationship with a religious upbringing - themes that cycle and develop in his introspective, allegorical lyrics. ... more
