Pharaoh 05:18
Bones of the pharaoh are showing The Horizon glows, an uprising grows Bones of the pharaoh are showing Growing eye of the storm is blowing The Horizon glows, an uprising grows Battle cry in our blood is flowing Bedouin wives with wildfire eyes calling Full moon rise and lone wolf cries howling Red Seas rise and waves capsize the fallen Baptized by the wildfire eyes We're live with wildfire eyes Live wires and battle cries We're live with wildfire eyes
2.
Utøya 05:52
Oh Utøya, Lost island Oh Utøya, Rise up from the sand Bow Our Heads But remember to stand Karl Johan, Flood the gate with beds of roses Oh Utøya, Young island Oh Utøya, Rise up from the sand Oslo roses bloom new children Lille land protect from poison Of the fires from false messiahs Young sons lost they will inspire
3.
Sakora 06:31
Most of the time feeling restless Burnt out like wild grass fire In with the tides of the ocean Out like a candlewick wire Sea blistered ruins of the city Stampede of waves with bull's horns Then suddenly floored by the fury That acts of god seem to inspire Rising Sun Holding on How will you care for me Flooded sea Prophecy Will you remember me Bright petal clouds of Sakora The flower whose blooms wash away Uprooted lives won't deter us The Fallout of neon lit days Sea water shower me And settle my core Crumbling Babylon, brittle as bone Steam hissing rapidly It seeps out my pours Battle oblivion, off Sendai shore

about

It was just last January that Western Haunts released their 2nd full length album Shed Your Summer Shell, receiving critical praise and national CMJ radio airplay. This summer stirred by the tragic events that took place in Norway and Japan, Western Haunts returned to the studio to record new material and release the Utøya E.P. in honor and celebration of their friends and family whose homes were impacted by tragedy.

about

Western Haunts Seattle, Washington

Western Haunts’ KEXP-approved dream-pop sound is a call to Midwestern revival, drenched in reverb and the haze of psychedelia and shoegaze. Across two EPs and their recently-released debut album, the Seattle quartet have slowly sharpened their sweeping harmonics into something that’s nothing short of gorgeously gauzy.
