Mountain 04:03
I can't claim I've accomplished great things [I'm still breathing] I can feel my weight under my feet [I'm still standing] and I'm sure that this can't be true but I see it and I thought that it wasn't you but I can't leave it fire light, say something right to me now [so I can't fail] if I'm wise, I'd stand up and lock this one down [before I exhale] I'm too young to know when its real like I can't see I'm too new to recognize you not this time and I know its heavy I feel it too I'm letting it take me I hope you do I feel myself falling in to you again You're like the Mountain to me pulling relentlessly I feel myself falling in to you again I'm like the Mountain cuz I I'm crumbling

She feels like and adult when she loses teeth, she believes for just a moment there's something that she wants in me and I can't say that I never wanted it anyway I'd be like my father I'm trying, but I can't relate and I'm trying to stay focused, but the worlds such an infinite place. and I can't say I'm confident that I'm gonna be but I'm a Modern Man tying to make my move I'm like a tree, clinging to my roots but you're not a bird you won't fly to me... and I've tried wearing your shoes. they're planted, and they're sturdy, and they're plain but I'm finding them too heavy to be ready and quick on my feet and I'm too damn impatient to lock it in/buckle down/to commit and I can't go forever, never reaching/never reaching out/never... and I can't say that I'm ready to go for another round! but I'm a Modern Man tying to make my move I'm like a tree, clinging to my roots but you're not a bird you won't fly to me... - - mumble mumble... I need to start showing teeth.

I feel squeezed You've used up all the air these tiny spots On your hands and hair You're making changes When sentences Don't have a chance to end You're pinned up hair Is coming out again You're making changes

Hollow Bones 01:52
I'm asking you to float me one more time I asked The Lord to show me cuz I'm blind I went in shakin I went in naked you pulled me in I'm sorry for these ribs and hollow bones Theres' insufficient weight to set the tone its such a burden I feel a tremblin its gotta go its nice to see you when you fall apart to see you put the horse behind the cart then I can be the strong one I'll show you what I've got yeah I'll be the man

Learner 04:45
I know not to bother you When your eyes are like that There’s a whole different energy When you’re holding your head just like that It’s a good thing I learned that There’s times that I’m not sure - Not sure I should point these things out I guess I could tell you, but then I know You’d adapt and do something else And I just can’t have that I know I should not escape When you’re wearing that certain face It’s all about angles and speed and something else – it can’t explain it – But I’m so glad I learned it You send all these messages I appreciate that I learn how to translate them (though it takes me years) I’m getting better at it but that’s why you send them I try to be a learner I try to figure you out I know that I should talk more, oh I know that I try to be a learner I try to figure you out, I use my eyes and ears but it takes years…

------

This record is dedicated to Carissa Halton; you are so much like the Mountains to me - impressive, compelling, overwhelming, beautiful, challenging and ever-changing.
Thanks to Tim, Kyle, Tyrn, Andrew and Doug for playing on the record! You made it your own. And to Tim for the album art design.
Special thank you to the Edmonton Arts Council for the all-important financial contribution that made this possible.

Passburg is a ghosttown in the Southern Canadian Rockies, clinging to the edge of the Flathead Range. Passburg is also the music name of Mat Halton, with significant - and lots of - input from these guys:

Tyrn Armstrong - Drums, door, percussion
Tim Wilson - Bass, noise
Kyle Cullen - Guitars
Andrew Pahl - Guitars, Ideas
Doug Organ - Hammond, Vibraphone

Recorded 'Live off the floor' and Mixed by Doug Organ at Edmontone Studio, Edmonton AB
Mastered by Mike Fossenkemper at TurtleTone Studio, NY
Artwork by Steven Wilson
Design and Layout by Timothy Wilson
