The Line 04:37
It’s not the way they said A long tattered love Tired of mysteries Overcome See the back side of love From the front understood Could’ve walked down the line So alone tell the tale I guess that’s how they do I don’t belong to their world
2.
Red Rainbow 04:41
I won’t be there Son of judas Son of man Changing ways Shadow on the stairs Separate It’s sad to see It’s in the air this time A subtle end Is fading in Sooner or later A shattered illusion It follows me From the first light To the last spiderweb We come as no surprise To them or their counsel
3.
Mercy 04:28
Couldn’t let it slide We won’t know who it is Grabbed me by the throat See the light appear Coming down the sky It’s true that nothing stays See the spark Slither in the dark Chilled to see my name there Some know what to say Who would have thought We won’t feel the same It’s just a dull illusion I had to keep Flower in the spokes At the light of day See their apple eyes You won’t find a place Cut the rope and hide Bump the stool from it (If we) could have spared That sad simple song We wouldn’t have the same cross to hold It’s in the blood I won’t feel the same Know that I’ll come back Chilled to see your name
4.
Falsetto 04:40
Like a last plea Set in motion Till it finally slows down Slight maneuver Change in cadence Somebody at the doorstep Shot a long look Attic windows Seeing something duck down Took the wind out Of that last sail Blue skies are turning Old school New age Touched by reaction Old age New school Sussing out a suitor This was your life Never leave it Mettle and disengage it Been a long time Since I knew you My gift was leaving
5.
Aegis 04:39
Let me recognize the end Who longs but neglected love for friends They’re always steering you away So ya Suss out what little left you have Contrived a summer love who left To stoke a little shred of fire They said it’s just your energy You’ll find me out Content with nothing left to dream Something Keeps you lonely Did you lose sight of grace? Some might need the door Some are leaning down Don’t look in the mirror Don’t open the front door Don’t forget the way it was Somebody to love you Somebody to care for Someone to pass the time Tulips and gold in the summer house Two envelopes by the marble archway Say it’s not a charade Who left Who loved Who tried to say It’s make believe The longer that we stay We turn away
6.
Redeemer 05:17
I’m coming up top I’m losing my place I’m making my father proud I’m living in vain I’m cheating my friends this time I’m breaking my oath I’m breaking your halo I’m coming in last place But look at us both Beating that winter sun See it unfold Being changed again The last words take hold You made me believe whatever you wanted to You’re breaking my spirit Embrace inside the storm Say it again Say it again Their face is taking form Don’t look away Now look away It’s a labor then the stars gone black Move the stone to lay (sic) at last
7.
Doorstep 04:54
I see you watching For my next move Then a door appears And in I go In the time I take to show myself The middle of the stairs fall away In an empty hall of fame a mirror breaks The flowers in your hand turn me to stone Full moon gliding in Someday when you see me Tear the three of hearts to start a blaze Could I defeat this need for your forgiveness I’m locked outside your doors Spiral in the night Will you promise him your love Do you even have the key Full moon gliding in Someday when you see me
8.
Shuttered up the house like a spacecraft Now to leave behind all my friendships Summer into fall, the great silence Moonlight pouring in the wishing well Hanging up your hat for the jury Through the snowy wood to the homestead Underneath the stars in his darkness Turning out the lights on your illusion

about

Public Memory is a mixture of damaged and dubbed-out percussion, unfurling synths and sparse sampling - all strung together by producer Robert Toher's spectral tenor. The project's sophomore LP, Demolition follows 2017's Veil of Counsel EP and 2016's Wuthering Drum LP with cinematic fortitude.

While Public Memory's prominent krautrock and trip-hop rhythms are represented here, Demolition explores a greater range of tempos and an expanse of alien emotions with layers of electronic drums, live drums, Korg synths and samples from nature. Themes of rebirth and reflection imbue the album's atmosphere, rich in tape delay, spring reverb, and textures that conjure a sci fi and supernatural narrative.

Toher's adept use of space and tension articulates the world of Demolition as eerie, emotive, and above all, narcotic. Each track is an existential procession. "Turning out the lights on your illusion," Toher sings to close the album, accepting that change is an inescapable condition of being.
