lyrics

An instant fall
knowing it’s not you they call
Where were you?
You were trying to live
Trying to survive
Jumping through all the heartaches and lies

Quiet as a mouse / steady as can be
Holding dreams / for fleeting seconds

For another blow would come your way
So now behind the ball you stand
A hypocrite with a painted face
Clinging onto others passions

Others hopes

And you fall/ your heart hits the ground
And is swallowed in self loathing
Self pity is beyond unattractive

But it’s quicksand
This mud clings to your ankles
Not allowing you to press forward

You need that childhood back
No one will lend a hand
Be tactful, be persistent

And beg your legs
Not to give up
Who are you? What do you see?

When standing solo
You’re breathing in a world

But living in
A delay
Whispers fall
On dead ears
Broken signal
No room to fill
A stomach empty
Tell me where to stand
Where I stand

Self directed
When you’re only looking in
It’s hard to perceive
The paths are clean
The air is clean

Anxious/ anxious
Face contorting
Just sleep now

Retreat now
Gas engage
Disengage

Busy mind
Forever breaking in time
Busy mind
Breaking

Tell me where to stand
Where I stand
Is this my place upon the mantelpiece?

An EP of mostly pacy, fuzzy alt-pop/rock. The distorted noise is ably supported by dreamy vocal harmonies, which perfectly fit the mood and tempo. Short and sweet – I'm super impressed! Michael Reilly

Field EP
by Oslow

supported by 5 fans who also own “Above the Hearth”

I saw these guys open for Balance & Composure and La Dispute in Sydney, had no idea who they were. If I'd had any cash I would've left with this EP then and there, their performance was impeccable too. Got more of a stir from a crowd than I've seen any other opening act. Zachary Wattus
