Let me tell you things never get around All the ways you wish Summer streams and the foggy straights about Was my mind that loud? Tramping through the mist amiss a kiss Seldom I might say There’s a moment when the last of us Hold the comet’s trace She strolls Downpour, same Desperate I come Through the side, stuck When I hold her face She strolls Reeling Spent the moments sane Seddon halls, charming calls about Cackling I’m not here Will your guiding hand beguile me In the daylight beams There’s a moment when the last of us Speak at once it seems She strolls Downpour, same Desperate I come Through the side, stuck When I hold her gaze She strolls Downpour, same Reeling

Speaks the cries of Owl screeches, tears your eyes up The place you go up on the hill there Bent and cold the wind does sow, your Sanctuary shine Spectral night hood Fall and call and kicking away You gotta saddle a rider On your winters day I feel you miles and miles and miles away I’ll watch you shiver when you shake Red runs through the white lodge baby Red runs through Red runs through the white lodge baby Red runs through Shadow siren Claws are drawn, some other taste About the dead on arrival All you’ll tear away You got time, but… Call and fall and slipping away There’s a glare on the side struck All the sudden fades I see you miles and miles and miles away I’ll watch you shiver when you shake Red runs through the white lodge baby Red runs through Red runs through the white lodge baby Red runs through Red runs through the white lodge baby Red runs through Red runs through the white lodge baby Red runs through

Steller Jay 05:21
Solitary stealer Where the lights don’t chase I can see by the light of the moon you got nothing left to say A cold wind blows by Rolling off our spines Stumbled around for the wall and the clock Hope you found your way I can barely breathe it Let alone don’t shake I can see by the light of the moon you got something in your stray A cold wind blows by Rolling off our spines Stumbled around for the wall and the clock Hope you lost your way The coastline’s a chorus of old acetate Rita and Orson won’t last out the day At Nepenthe… I heard you call my love Steller Jay

Rachel 03:51
There’s no mistaking this is your song The verse and chorus are your face Rachel my love, by the bridge you’re a hit song Merrily frightened from all my strange Careful my love, there’s a mise en scene Off with your head with you, when you lie Stumbled across, lost the road I’d take Better in time, hope you know my love, fate We won’t see and I won’t pry Whispers abound on the fold where the dawn breaks All that me is the damnedest slide She said, breathe in time Drink it down like wine Scamper across on the road that I know, wait Bounce through the hills, the four winds sigh Careful my love, there’s a mise en scene Off with your head with you, when you lie Stumbled across, lost the road I’d take There’s no mistaking this is your song The verse and chorus are your face Rachel my love, by the bridge you’re a hit song Merrily frightened from all my strange

Scurry the scene, your steps lost more Star-crossed, far away Deep in your eyes lay salton seas But thirst won’t let me breathe My sweet, should I crawl across the floor Scrawling as I scrape The feel, a wry call, twisted scores Sundown seems so late Eyes roam and fault the ways Sing the song, walk the strange I’m on the bend, right where we stand There’s a cost now, gone astray Deep in the sighs Well, that’s no surprise There’s nothing left to take My sweet, should I crawl Anon more Writhing from the weight Or feel around, stall, when I’m sore Sunrise seems too late The feel where I call home The feel where I call home

In a long, gone weirding way, mouthing All the seams In the moment you left cast aside, doubting What’s the reach Seems a mean go-getter Where the scent done led her Turn the doubters with a beckoned gaze Walking down that slanted hall Have no sense to see at all Sometimes there’s a stair to step Certain smiles creep Through the moment you get tossed away, shouting Follow me All the colors burn, tantalize… Look in her eyes, how Hypnotized, now Sometimes when she sings Staring across the rim of the lost Demon get her wings 2020 came slinking around To kiss and kill, you may
7.
Settled comes around You might find it strange Staring at the ground In a certain way In the cold, gold green eyes I was torn and frayed So called meantime… Side to sideways Hide, not wait When you disappear Holding on to fate Blaring at the sound In a certain haste In the cold, bold lean nights I was lost in place So called meantime… Side to sideways Hide, not wait Blur the words you try to say Dreamtime Opal still shuttered space

Dead Calm 04:46
In the dream of the captain’s break Where the sun and the sky meets the sea You were touched by a foregone grace I never thought it could be I can see you in the salty air Dead calm and you just don’t care Sing the rhyme of the siren safe I never thought I could say Breathing Swept along, fall away Sealing Several long, endless waves Red eyes trail Against the sunrise, on my knees You’ve been kept by the words we saved I never thought it could be As the gray lines fill your hair Dead calm in your sullen stare You were too old for my brain I never thought it could fade Breathing Swept along, fall away When I’m sinking Dead calm falls away Dead calm falls away

56 Witch 05:27
There’s a witch called Midnight Jane And she don’t like to whisper a thing In the dawn her midnight gaze Turns a slow burn into a scream She says I’m breathing Like the north wind got no face She says I’m seething It's the call where you might break There’s a backwoods summon style Where the last bend twists a mile Just to make your broken steps Steal some light and catch your breath She says I’m reaching Like the north wind got no take She says I’m seething It's the call where you might break

Skulls Reach 07:12
I’ve been coming back to stay Whisper past the only grave Sudden seekers sink and rise Feel around, lose the sky Will you wander, lost this way Haunting all the sudden space Never telling, you won’t ride Half the road is drawn in shade You better know where you might crawl I’ve been coming back to glean Moments lost, uncertain scenes Fever dreams where you don’t die Feel around, lose the sky Will you wander, lost this way Daunted at the chance to pray Never telling, you won’t hide Half the road is drawn in shade You better know where you might crawl Skulls reach the sky Is it cold where you’re blind? Skulls reach the sky Is it warm where you’re blind?

about

"A rock album full of intrigue, Song of the Siren Saved is a gripping showcase from Chicago-based band Deep Cricket Night. Their sound proves commanding with a balance of hypnotic and ferocious soundscapes" - Obscure Sound (US)
www.obscuresound.com/2023/10/deep-cricket-night-song-of-the-siren-saved/

"Deep Cricket Night builds a vibey and subtly psychedelic rock atmosphere on their latest track “Sometimes When She Sings”. This song which features on their latest album “Song of the Siren Saved” continues the album’s themes of crafting infectious melodies with a dark edge to their soundscape." - Lost in the Manor (UK)

"The last song is Skulls Reach, a piece that is inspired by electro-pop, but with a strong progressive attitude. The piece has an original and dynamic sound that integrates 60s suggestions with cold rhythms and tights from the 80s, really intriguing. The song includes a ghost song that begins shortly after the conclusion of Skulls Reach. The hidden piece is called Siren Saved and it is a strange and hypnotic ballad that develops on an ostinate piano that supports the singing and the imaginative melodic avagations of the guitar. An amazing album able to involve on different emotional levels, highly recommended" - Artisti Online (Italy)
www.artistionline.tv/l/deep-cricket-night-song-of-the-siren-saved/

"Opened by “Downpour, Same,” the album kicks off with whimsical descending guitar plucks, before launching into an upbeat rock sound full of lightly fuzzy guitar tones, shuffling drums, slick bass lines, bright piano work and stunning vocal leads that float via catchy melodies and soft vibrato.

“Red Runs Through the White Lodge” opens with the tension building patter of drums as atmospheric guitar tones craft anticipation before the light grit of guitar lines and organ stretches form a moody vibe. Lance’s impassioned vocal leads ride above to deliver a rousing energy brimming with alternative intensity. It’s an enveloping and expansive rock soundscape with subtle prog undercurrents.

“Stellar Jay” follows with the gentle pulses of bass guitar as a downtempo ambience of intricate guitar flourishes and softly tapping percussion takes hold to craft a dreamy setting for Lance to stitch his alluring vocal leads into the stunning sonic fabric of this song, tinged with psychedelic aesthetic." - Plastic Magazine (UK)
plasticmag.co.uk/2023/10/deep-cricket-night-releases-new-record/

"Take for instance ‘Rachel’, the fourth track in the album. In it, Deep Cricket Night rally around a rather dark and dry instrumental, built over acoustic guitars and a charming piano. Lance Drake’s vocals find a more mature tone, delivered with sensibility and real panache. In a way, it’s much easier for the listener to relate, something that will undoubtedly help the group connect to a wider audience" - Mesmerized (UK)

Deep Cricket Night Chicago, Illinois

Deep Cricket Night has come out the the pandemic with a sonic - style shift through the wormhole. We used the roots at the portal's gate as a ladder, climbing out of our past sound. The present sound regards fulfilling the new, post-pandemic range. For practical cliches, our sound is now akin to Joy Division meets 1970 Pink Floyd with Syd still in the room. ... more
