Swell

by Sel Balamir

supported by

Anthony Childs Three epic oceanic tracks (and appropriate album art to match) that both suggest Amplifier and distinguish Sel's work outside of the band. So. Many. Guitars. Particularly excellent drumming as well. For the newly initiated, whether you start with an Amplifier album or a Sel solo release, you're going to get immersive, high quality (both production and performance) jams that can bring the subtlety every bit as much as the brute force. Bon voyage. Favorite track: Swell.

Thomas Gelfer If I close my eyes I can still feel the waves and smell the seaweed. A great listen from start to finish. Favorite track: Seagull.

Swell 20:42
Swell Well life is like a mountain coming down on top of my head When everything feels like a phantom limb Like something to crave from cradle to grave Somewhere over the horizon the sun is waiting for the dawn to come And when the moon's got an ocean to pull And if you're needing a fool - Well I am that man We'll burn in the fire together Well death is like a curtain lifted up from over your eyes To your surprise - now you can see The beast is in the shrine. The fruit is on the vine. And somewhere over the horizon tomorrow's waiting Now that the day is done Now that I'm in the house of the bull and when the table is full Well I will be down to burn in the fire. Together

Jacques Cousteau under the sea In secret caves beneath the waves And holidays So take my hand And put your best side always forward Time is all we have to lose And live a life in which we haven't time to chose Something different for us When everything's in store Maybe that's why it only ever feels that I'm waiting So let's dive into the abyss of time Cause we're cold like fishes underneath this skin That's something that you ought to know Well could you imagine the world waiting for all of us? What are we waiting for? Jacques Cousteau where did you go? It's so long ago since I saw your face Jacques Cousteau To everything a friend No matter what it be Jacques Cousteau You took me diving for pearls The golden apples of the sun Transforming underneath the moon Well I'll see you soon.

Seagull 09:26
Faraway where the Oceans roll Where the wild winds blow There's lightening and thunder Well did you see the mark of man put upon the land? And he's crazy and trying to do you in But don't you ever let him Open up your wings and soar like a seagull out from shore Circling above my head - well I'm your friend You're where the sunshine smiles down You make me feel safe and calm Waiting for the distant storm that must come Faraway I saw you from the emerald depth The shadow of a sunken wreck glinting in the sun And the time now has come to lift your head and to leave once more Set a course for some forgotten shore Pulling on your snow white oars I see you way up in the sky The sky is where you spread your wings and soar Nobody you must answer for Circling above the sea overhead Where the white clouds pass me by Where all my brothers and my sisters fly Waiting for the distant storm That must come
