Nomad (old mix)

by Mothman and The Thunderbirds

supported by

Kirk Gauthier Once upon a time, Mothman and the Thunderbirds was a stoner sludge project. And while time and a wealth of influences have given new life and direction to the music, this is like a time capsule of where it all began. And the only place you can find this old mix is right here on Bandcamp. Stellar work all around. Favorite track: Nomad (old mix).

Maxwell Jeffries Banger with banging art to boot!

Sleeping Villager At first blush, "Nomad" possesses the two key components of any sludgy doom track worth its salt: an engaging riff and an equally engaging hook. However, subsequent immersion indicates a level of dynamism that serves to elevate the track as a whole

To say that I'm excited to see what Mothman and the Thunderbirds cook up next is the understatement of the week. If you're on the hunt for a solid tune--and really, who isn't these days--do yourself a favor and give "Nomad" a listen!

lyrics

Given the moment you'd strike through my good eye
But faced with your actions you cower and hide
Given the helm you ride into battle blind
Drenched in corruption, corroding the collective mind

But I hold through
Tired but true
I stand tall
I weather all

Over mountains and through the sky
My resolve, this truth will never die
I've watched the stars burst into flame
I am the scorn, the doom that speaks your name

But I hold through
Tired but true
I stand tall
I weather all

From the darkness now into the light
My resolve, I will this final plight

Oh won't you grace me
With no words at all

But I hold through
Tired but true
I stand tall
I weather all

An amazing album 👍🏻 It took me a while to get into Boss Keloid’s groove. I knew intellectually that it was my kinda music but I didn’t take to Melted On The Inch like I thought I would. I think listening to lots of modern jazz limbered me up! This is really complicated prog rock with heavy ass guitars added for street cred. I’m so happy that anyone might consider this band cool. They’re fucking cool to me but music like this has been vilified in the past. All hail the new Gentle Giant! Crinklechips
