1.
Narwale 05:49
drifting through the breeze shatters into pieces eyes are dry mirrors in the night scatter distant lights signals in the dark morning birds pulled by the waves breathing i swim in the rushing colors of dreams my body crashes against the rocks dancing
2.
Beard 07:29
i sail waters in a maze of light floating boats breath in and out in foaming reach along the pier distant lights hanging from the shore crossing waters falling through the night a satellite drifting above the human tide inbound vessels watch the caves come alive. follow lights up and down the street. escaping years buried in concrete. i sail waters in a maze of light lost in my beard in tangled sounds of waves falling colors echo across the night
3.
Summer Drive 03:53
tracing aimless rivers into fogged car windows late night drive with the headlights out in trails of fallen moonlight just feeling it out. reaching out with the windows down passing fireflies outrun the night like chinese stars before the autumn starts. and it starts again
4.
Harbor Dawn 01:17
5.
Odaiba 06:08
my eyes drift around the open sea lost in trails falling off in the ghost white breeze out there floating colors chased out from the shore in a breath drifting out push and pulling the oceans apart in the warm mix of waves pushing you away and drawing me in
6.
Window 02:08
7.
above the clouds floating on air still a long ways away i feel free up here far from the docks and the trouble i know circles around in my head places i've been lost in the clouds in rich marmalade see everything i've ever seen in a warm rush i fall
8.
Arctic Orion 04:56
slow moves out here catch up with me in my shirt i feel im a marked man fill my chest with smoke in rushed short breath this strange moon moves through my head visions of home move through the sand swing my restless arms spooked by low hanging stars as silence rattles the shore i step into the dark
9.
Starliner 03:00

about

Dragon Turtle’s second full length and fifth release, Distances is a passing reflection of traveling aquatic landscapes and deserted American towns. Ships and harbors come to life with floating ghostly visions built with spaced out guitars and lush reverberated arrangements. Various sounds and instruments are buried over vocals that barely float above the water, creating songs that vary from minimal ambient to the epically psychedelic with lyrics that read like quick sketches from a traveler’s notebook.
