Andy Golding, well known for his own musical output with the Wolfhounds, Dragon Welding and other projects, weighs in with this visual presentation - a psychotropic journey through the world of the provincial raptor-captor, by way of Gloucester and Addis Ababa, through a network of luxurious man-caves belonging to demagogues and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, leading beneath the Vatican, the Kremlin and an abandoned Safeway near Barstow, California. All processing and animation by Andy Golding.

Musical landscape features James Woodrow (Gibson SG elemental guitar, with inlaid horse-brasses), Audrey Riley (Alpine steel cello), Nick Allum (rocket fuel drums) and Rhodri Marsden (double-necked granite bass guitar).

Fire up Tor for Ethiopia, guy at work once showed me how
Patriarch Ephrem, Great Britain here!
Falconer position open, 15 miles from Gloucester, sir:
food, lodging & a front row seat to see
a great nation, once again replete!
Time will erase us if we yield.
Owl in the parlour, orders sealed.

Camouflage as formal daywear, catastro-mufti in town square
crop-duster, wide-brim hat, ink-black goatee,
hazmat toecaps fold out as skis & a kevlar marquee
Time will erase us, scene by scene,
gone like the fragments of a dream.

On the hunt for Hitler’s bitcoin with my pal in Tennessee.
He waves those flags not made in China, explains the dollar bill to me.
Time will erase us, that’s the truth.
Loves, lies, locations, wisdom, youth.
Time will erase you, seems to hurt.
No-one need replace you or your curse.
