Gabriel 06:00
where's the family a kiss from the earth letters to a foundling open when below cautions erratic paying a picture show a hall of vested interests made another lover go then another love grows from all the above back and north a cry now unto me summer on summer bend and fold a humble reckoning be still ever-growing fawn you are on this day you learned a wolf our heart to be your pillow called to be turned for everyone all to see what lives what lives lord of mirages cancer's in a shell commandeered the cartilage queen to the eye her nails from all the above back and north a cry now unto me summer on summer bend and fold a humble reckoning be still ever-growing fawn you are on this day you learned a wolf our heart to be your pillow called to be turned for everyone all to see what lives what lives

Small Plans 02:41
wait wait for me someone else though a pain resides but no one made it stay caution in the wind care carry my little plans for a picket fence a raider in his crib would you wait for me I'm breaking at the Seems untold A love Once bold But death waits for me My love You'll see I'm seen in the change coil coils and barbs in my throat heard him call my name to share a magazine was I good or bad was I good Once Above a line that cuts A green leaf seed In half Wait for me My love You'll see I'm seen in the change You're not your name

Tusk 04:36
i held a sign above my head it wanted me dead are you just a martyr who burns nice and slow or a little one with a little wand your head hot enough to boil cold water and cook them to life like a mother i have found you after all underneath these golden ponds of honey is there any cost any cost greater than I can't count the money a bonding distance hey you say young ladder you like to keep your diamond rough any foreign carver is an elephant tusk hey you say young ladder a halo cloaks the meddler in you and like a cross on fire you split them in two i broke their sign above my head it wanted me dead what's there at the base of an all wondering tree but two layers of bark a child within me and he says listen hey you say young ladder you like to keep your diamond rough any foreign carver is an elephant tusk hey you say young ladder a halo cloaks the meddler in you and like a cross on fire you split them in two

Folds 06:14
it started young through the third door she runs whatever makes a seed i'll race you there i'll lay these knots upon the bottom stair upon your bare feet orphan will you come down now proud here we call upon a maker within the view starting back at one a zero a dreaming fool to be everyone underneath the blankets we've woven far all i want to do is fold them and there you are carved in my skin a howl like a birthday song for a dead man in the ground orphan will you come down and make us proud here we call upon a maker (forming right behind you) within the view (the painted dolls) starting back at one (starting back at one here) a zero a dreaming fool (for me to be raining) to be everyone underneath the blankets (underneath the blankets) we've woven far (we're laying on) all i want to do (all i want to do) is fold them and there you are orphan will you come down and make us proud
5.
Apostasy 03:42
i came to the tall mangrove there i have kneeled before at the bottom and when the legs are crossed well we don't stand as tall still coming up a black dress in a vacuum prayer ice word so cold and fair like the skin in their eyes young gates we'll close you yet he's drowned our cigarettes and made us honest you're hanging from a window i'm feeling in though sorting out (we lie here the rest of your back) all the branches you cannot have them who puts me back (we lie here the rest of your back) a Loa broke right the air snatched two bills off the kitchen chair it's an honor what an honor but maybe they'll see it lazy we're hanging from a window i'm feeling in though sorting out (we lie here the rest of your back) all the branches you cannot have them who puts me down (we lie here the rest of your back) we're hanging from a window i'm feeling in though sorting out (we lie here the rest of your back) all my branches you came to have them who puts me down (we lie here the rest of your back)
6.
The Chaser 05:38
in the water my love grew toward an aching christening a light in the water i did drown but an aching christened realm still bares to stand the night so please go run go run my baby run my baby where i can't chase in my hands you were warm and your fire could light a coal asleep way under i had no time and to live is a goodbye goodbye so please go run go run my baby run my baby where i can't chase you later run my baby from me my baby where i can't chase go run my baby run my baby where i can't chase you later i lay here waiting for any savior that i can't chase

about

Alassane

“As such a song off his recent ‘Yield’ EP ‘Gabriel’ drips with lush harmonic counterpoint and a vocal prowess that is outside any expectations.

With his vast array of influences, it’s plain to see that Alassane’s firm understanding of music's past informs his command over its future; and you can hear it as effortlessly as he shares it. “

-Dylan Paul Eibey
