Matt When a potter throws a pot on the wheel, he feels the clay, excess water flung, soaks the potter. He feels the clay forming, taking shape, breathes in it's essence, forms it into a masterpiece. Anima! is that very Masterpiece. Insightful, Artistic, Hypnotic, spanning the breadth of existence, as if from the spectacle of a meandering explorer. Close your eyes, drink it in... breathe! :) Incredibly fresh album! Thanks guys! Favorite track: Silver Screen.

Self 02:32
Is it in the sky Falling from the pine Does it grow from the ashes of the fire? I can’t see it’s face But it takes the shape Of the mountainside we stop to admire We can hear it’s here When we inhale, exhale the head clear Holding the hands we hold dear Run from the arms of our fears and grow How it whispers close It can’t save our souls For it lives in us, upon our earth What does it speak of So we feel it’s love Does it ask us for something in return?

Breathe 03:51
Breathe easy tonight Stay quiet Let the lines on your face feel light Till the mornings ripe It'll be alright Speak your mind Unwind all of your designs I know you try Put it on the line Set it all aside Long as you're alive If there's hate there is love If there's a right then there will be a wrong Breathe out Breathe in Whatever you take, whatever you give Constantly circles around again Breathe out Breathe in This is it We give what we've got to give And we begin To see it from within Let the rhythm in And give it back again Here and now Is the sound All the people shout Lay it down on the common ground Let your light be found Long as you're around If there's hate there is love If there's a right then there will be a wrong Breathe out Breathe in Whatever you take, whatever you give Constantly circles around again Breathe out Breathe in

Crave 03:24
Please excuse me sir could you spare some change? Every day I get up and it’s all the same I am inside out in a sideways place I got friends around but they’re all mistakes And the bottle tips to my open throat And the needle hits on the skin so cold I am underneath I cannot control Crave Fill me up until my plate is full Is it for my head, is it for my fuel? I will open up, I will swallow whole Sugar in the veins and the heart consoled ‘Cause it’s something that everybody needs When we just give in how it tastes so sweet Is it by design, does it grow from greed? Crave

The Fire 03:34
This is one for the endless air Every breath that I need it’s there, so When I speak you can hear my prayers To be aware This is one for the standing trees Staying put so that life can breathe, but When we take more than what we need, it isn’t fair We are here we are alive On this earth, on this earth Made to do more than survive It’s our turn, it’s our turn Make the world go round or were all going’ down in the fire That we light Life’s a gift, you get one try Do it right, do it right This is one for the solid ground Stretchin’ out as I’m homeward bound, you’re There when I put my two feet down To move around This is one for the river flow Doesn’t stop when it’s tired, it goes on So the greens and the gold can grow To feed the town
5.
What a display We can’t look away From the ones who get paid To stand on the stage And the people all watch Sit and witness in silence I see them up on the screen We all listen but they don’t say anything They look so pretty and free But we can think when we are unplugged from the machine I get my own thoughts I don’t need to be taught They don’t know what I want They can’t have what I’ve got We can choose what we see on the silver screen We don’t need this Turn it off, we won’t eat all the lies they feed Watch what frees us

Optimism 03:26
And I’m here again Caught my head in a place somewhere else in the stratosphere How it came and went But the thing I never knew is that all of the beauty is here All things that live Live in the moment We’re what we give Give to the moment The future is now Are you gonna be here? The past ain’t around Are you gonna be here or not? I am listening Forget all the plans and the pressures and thoughts ahead Cause they don’t exist It’s just me and my breath and the moment that I am in All things that live Live in the moment We’re what we give Give to the moment The future is now Are you gonna be here? The past ain’t around Are you gonna be here or not?
7.
Serendipity 03:54
Where will I go how will I know I’m there Walking blindly in a city that I’ve never seen Alive and awake, think that I make my way But everything is planned Everything is planned as it should be And when I wake Each breath I take knows it Everything is planned Each passing day makes no mistake of it Everything is planned Everything is planned as it should be All can be yours if you let go of it Everything is planned Everything is planned Everything is planned as it should be All things make no mistake of it all
8.
You're Alive 03:55
Sidewalk walkers Empty vessels Task completers Fundamental They’re all looking down Can’t take the time to enjoy all the space and the sound Or the look in another’s eyes No one’s listening, no one’s thinking No one holds their heart up high Go through the motions, keep repeating The words but we do not know why Satisfaction Just add water Clock is ticking Cant wait longer I need it right now The people all need to feel pleasure or they will shut down If they don’t have something to hold No one’s listening, no one’s thinking No one holds their heart up high Go through the motions, keep repeating The words but we do not know why You’re alive We’re alive Don’t you know?
9.
The eyes close The heart slows The time goes by Whats the point in trying Your friends talk Wonder what’s wrong Another sad song Playing on repeat Somewhere in there it is living underneath the, The surface, It’s in you Every minute you are living is a choice so I choose love, I am love You could go Follow airflow See where the road goes Change the scenery You'll feel fear Cause were all scared It means you’re out there Living honestly

Heartflow 04:48
I turn in The heart sounds The mind knows To quiet down I look in The heart sounds It’s up to me To hear it out When hope is thin And the days grow too long Hush, listen You know more than you think you know You are the light you need to grow You know more than you think you know I turn in The heart sounds The mind knows To quiet down I look in Love surrounds It’s up to us To give it out

about

Written over 2015 from our creative spaces in the redwoods of California to Africa, our debut LP is self-defining to our name anima; the Latin word for the breath of life in each of us. Songs of urge, hope, absence, compassion, awareness, to superficiality, these songs are our reflections of 'the self'.

This album was created to remind us that no matter how much we get caught up in the bubbles of distraction, we can breathe in the air and should make our almost impossible existence something valuable to ourselves and to the environment we are nurtured so generously by.

Your self is a gift that we can spend our lifetime opening.

- ANIMA!
