lyrics

And all the lines are drawn
and written in water
Of nothing beyond
wordless son, moon & daughter

Another screaming being
One more riptide
freeze frame
On the long road backwards
We're all equal again

And the satellites decline
and the waves that warp your mind
and the strangeling wake of time
are all coming down
Are all coming down
Are all coming down
to this

Where all these dreams convene
Symbol and sword hang
Of moments between
nameless bell, book and burning

Another blueing garden
One last moonlit shadowplay
From forgotten pages
We're all equal again

And the satellites decline
and the waves that warp your mind
and the strangeling wake of time
are all coming down
Are all coming down
Are all coming down
to this

from Cosmic Coffin Compilation Album Vol 1., released February 2, 2020
Max Davies grew up fascinated by sound and music. In addition to his solo work, his music has been featured in films, at NYC Fashion week, spoken-word collaborations and dance productions.

"I often try to subvert the standard protocols somewhat in order to invite something unexpected into the recording process. Sometimes the best things occur as accidents or mistakes. Sometimes it sucks and doesn't work, but sometimes it can yield a distinctly magical part that would've never happened otherwise."

He has worked with variety of musicians, poets, freaks, weirdos and beautiful noisemakers. An eclectic guitarist, musician, songwriter and producer, he has been fortunate to work with such sonic luminaries and linguistic magicians such as Thurston Moore, Anne Waldman, Lydia Lunch, Toni Oswald, CA Conrad, John Trudell, LAPCAT, Clark Coolidge, Steven Taylor, Junior Burke, Ic Explura, Gregory Alan Isakov and many more.

His last album In The Realms Of The Mercury Halo was reviewed by Guitarist Magazine as being a record that "yearns with a sorrowful gravitas and minimalist intensity".


Written, Recorded & Performed by Max Davies,
Boulder, Colorado
