1.
In a space, a crowd, but no ones there A toast in the green room In a mood, to move, but eyes just stare Here's to our health
2.
Magazines 05:42
Water to fill a wishing well Air we can breathe in daydreams Are these the ties that bind? Or weigh us down? Sell off your pack of lies Old hand me downs Bred by the ghosts of bright lights Are we burnt out Born Holding on to the hope Now it's all gone What we imagined, lost Harder to sell a fairytale I still believe in magazines Boxed in, frozen in time Come break us down Oh how the years slip by Our college town
3.
Come Around 03:31
Tragedy Growing roots like a willow tree. Brittle leaves billow down, Deadens on the ground Constantly we lost stock in our company. Bitter pill swallowed whole. Old enough to know. Why won't u come around? Why won't u come around? Why won't u come around to my way? Lost at sea. Sun and moon setting over me. In the flood Were all drowned. Tides won't hold me down. Gnarled grief. Hanging noose from your family tree. Tangled knots all around. Ghosts wont make a sound.
4.
All your harboring All you hold in I'm holding in The home we started in When the light dulls When a life stalls When the light dulls, it's off When your heights fall When the night calls When the light dulls, it's off Don't you want it all Don't you want to know Broken promises Brokenhearted I'm mending these Bones discarded and lost Don't you want it all Don't you want to know
5.
Novocaine 04:38
On holiday Lazy summer glow Call out my name Hazy copper gold Hang on today We'll escape the cold Open your veins Bleed out everyone Who Rattled our cage Washed out in the flood of Our Novocain Coursing through our blood We're all the same, falling You'll know my name, call me i'm your Novocain, oh novocain They'll never change, stalling Numb from the pain, I wanna be your Novocain, oh novocain Fire on the plains Blazing burning coals Dance on our graves Barefoot tippy-toes Our lawns been paved Sprawling city rose
6.
A Memo 01:00
7.
Sirens Den 04:15
A living wage It's all the rage We'll grow Oh no Our ice age A living wage Is left Freezing cold In the sirens den We're awash in the seas we parted Standing on the ledge Looking out across the wars we started Torn apart Never start Out grow The show Heaven sent Or tourniquet Retire A liar Was it divine Or out of you mind Hard to inspire From what you perspire Are we aligned Like Particles bind Harder to fight The devils inside
8.
TV Glow 05:04
Drawn to the static and electric buzz Dull down the Shadows when the TV runs Burn off the feeling in the evening sun Noise in the channels where the spirit once was Listen to the hum Running through your blood Limbs are growing numb Line your pockets son Only see who they are When the lights dim low In the TV Glow Lies in the title as the credits roll Loosen your handle on remote control We could be undone By noise in the channel where the spirit once was Tubes blown watch our bodies smoke Contrast colors all our bones Never shown, noise in the channels Whats all our own, noise in the channels
9.
We can seem removed When there's everything to prove And our hearts are beating through our chests Lessons from your past Singed a brand across your best But I know another day will test us Restless rust belt heat Lines your casket and the creek Where necking adolescents meet Pound your pavement streets To your corporate high-rise suite Is that all the company you can keep It's not enough just try/keep dreaming It's not enough to say it is No not again believe me It's not enough to say it is Sleepwalk through the day bloodshot eyes run down the page Of returns and losses from our age Chime, our waking hour When we summon up the power And we live the way we feel when the seeds of change are real

about

Lofty expectations and devastating disap¬pointments. Euphoric highs and general malaise. Break-ups make-ups and facing an uncertain future. Western Haunts latest self-titled album is music for the washed up, burnt out and the clock that’s ticking down. With a revamped lineup and new found energy, the band has created a lush, vast, glacial album. Western Haunts still touches on the haze of psychedelia and shoegaze, while being firmly rooted in Americana that the band is known for. However this collection of songs also cascades with a sense of urgency and immediacy that may feel new lo listeners.

Western Haunts music can be heard across the nation on CMJ radio stations and programming on MTV and FUEL TV. Live, Western Haunts have been touring and playing bills with national artists the likes of Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside, Sam Roberts Band, Lost In The Trees, Said The Whale, TEEN, Jessica Lea Mayfield and The Moondoggies. The band has been a featured studio performer on KEXP, performed at premiere music festivals such as Seattle's Bumbershoot, Capitol Hill Block Party, The Denver Times Underground Music Showcase and curated shows by Seattle's City Arts Magazine and Seattle Weekly.

Western Haunts is currently back in their recording studio working on a brand new record, set for release in early Summer 2015. The band has once again partnered with Seattle artist, painter and photographer Harold Hollingsworth to create a series of inspired visuals and singles which will be released in advance of the 7 song EP. Hollingsworth previously shot and directed the band’s music video for their song A Zealot Sun and also created the cover artwork for their 2014 self-titled full length release.

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.
