(lyrics by Karen Zanes)
Clear as the water
the path revealed
Step into eternal spring
let your heart go wild
Twin flame, twin flame
Twin soul, twin soul
Bonded for life
necks entwined
They of the white white feather
sing a song of fire
Twin flames, twin flames
Twin souls, twin souls
(lyrics by Dez DeCarlo and Karen Zanes)
Inside the color blue
Silver rain it covers you
Photograph of your face
Time is lost in this space
Inside the color blue
Silver rain it covers you
Photograph of your face
Time is lost in this space
- Dez DeCarlo

Come see me
Come see me
In the morning light
the morning dew
Come hear me
Come hear me
In the dusty light
the endless night
Come know me
Come know me
Like I know you
like I know you
like I knew you
once before
once a long time ago
once a long time ago...
-Karen Zanes
"Twin Flame" (2 track EP with bonus remix). Released on Sleep Fuse (SF 13)
"Now these folk released their debut this time last year to much acclaim via sleep FUSE’s bigger sister label Reverb Worship, this time out a strictly limited EP entitled ‘twin flame’, just 30 in total, from off which (fear not we will be back in a day or two for the other two tracks) we’ve been a tad smitten by lead out cut ‘Swan Pond’. Okay we’ll start by sticking our neck out in saying, imagine Curved Air and Jefferson Airplane in cahoots with the brooding primal of Preterite, for there’s a darkening beauty ghosting this deceptively framed folk psychedelian voyager. Forged of a cool majesty, its whispered seduction draws you close to its spell weaving flame. Pressed upon a forlornly mesmeric lull of shimmer toning snake winding riffs that prowl with hollowed futility themselves tailored from a rare finery lost to the ages and memory, this haunted and hazed visitation sighs sorrowfully to softly burn with a trance toning dream draped fixed stare intensity." - Mark Barton via The Sunday Experience
