So Long April

So long
April
a wanted bye
say so
Eyes
with a low dose sadness
eros
hillside
ladle or spoon
halos hide
saturate my new moon

Teen Pyramids

To wave, aloud
Our awkward bodies gave
to make a sound
then wander to your grave
Sit back, hit center
too little, too loud
top warp, top heavy
your solid as a crown
dive, dive
it’s safe, to dance
ignore the architects
get rote, get riddled
a tiny avalanche
the salt, relays
a potent memory
late teens
late twenties
their burning like CDs
dive, dive

Blooming Arrow

I want to ride into the sunset
I want to catch you in my heart net
send a blooming arrow
I hope you know, I’ll meet you midway.
I’ll put my feelings in a bouquet
send a blooming arrow

Like A Kid

counted roses then
the image go
i’m in service I’m a radio
answers / insides skid
cool reservations
vision like a kid
it’s not my tone, it’s not my rerun turn
probe a desert for a vox retruned
voluntary zone
peak fascination
curving like a dome

Heaven Was Enough
03:28
|
|
||
|
A moment wrapped up like a dime
a precious tinsel bears the flow
what makes the melon, or the rind?
what makes the water, or the boat?
still I’m fearful actress
still i’m a pampered rough
Heaven was Enough
My vision tripled like a rhyme
My recollection is a wave
I’m only living for this time
where my decisions innate
still I’m ruffled actor
still I’m a hampered cuff
Heaven Was Enough

Gorgeous Bull
02:49
|
|
||
|
holding your lane
holding your line
sipping the salt, like a wine
two solid days
two solid eyes
too tough, too old to change minds
so young and so cold
Gorgeous Bull
selling a yes
selling the tides
something we do in disguise
totally stretched
terribly right
questions become
effing fights
so young and so cold
Gorgeous Bull

Fevered attitude
solo activate
furloughed afternoon
sunny real estate
bitter loss of self
haunted in debate
accidents are the new,
scared straight
accidents are the new,
scared straight
fitting out the door
falling out the gate
scented with the bloom
floating golden state
accidents are the new,
scared straight
accidents are the new,
scared straight

Fear The Lower Mind
03:00

|

Fear deep ocean
Begin woven
All the time
Lower Mind
Hear motion
Love sick potion
All the time
Lower Mind

You Go I Miss
03:09

Full moon
always the ‘tude
what’s there to do
send a message to you
a delicate move
sheen
slight
guise
tones, would you notice
Where’d you go? I Miss
Where’d you go? I Miss
Where’d you go? I miss
Dreams
Past beach
your like a desert at sea
Definitely
this could happen to me
Vitamin D
send drove, vibes
When? Total focus
Where’d you go? I Miss
Where’d you go? I Miss
Where’d you go? I miss
Dreams

Just Passing By
04:32
|
|
||
|
always fittering
brain stacks
billowing
conscious of light
shadows track
intimate I’m
so relaxed
setting dots
oh my god
just passing by
just passing by
a delicate ride
just passing by
forward
silver tacks
boneset
soon reacts
feeding the hounds
sordid
tilling the ground
solo time
born direct
push in chest
just passing by
just passing by
a delicate ride
just passing by
Like a child’s dream
Soul typography
A love lobotomy
Like a child sees
Like child’d dream
Soul typography
A love lobotomy
Like a child sees

about
Loud Sun is Andrew Jansen – a naturalist, a musician, and a songwriter who’s been self-releasing music in various forms since the early 2000’s. With Loud Sun, Andrew combines rock, folk, psychedelic, punk and elements of electronic music. "Sea Grave," Loud Sun’s latest effort, is a story of departure, loss and the time in between.
Partially self-recorded in Oakland, California and finished in Minneapolis, Minnesota, "Sea Grave" is largely comprised of melodic bedroom pop with experimental, garage, and ’60s influences. “Some songs were started in my laundry room studio in Oakland, and everything was polished up in my basement in Minneapolis,” says Jansen. “Writing and recording are pretty intertwined.”
Fans of Atlas Sound, the Microphones, Floating Action, and Elf Power should take note. The songs feel familiar, while also new and experimental. It’s homeopathic and self-medicated. Loud Sun is Andrew’s creative workshop. He emits lo-fi thoughts with the relaxed precedent of musicianship in the forefront.
“I use nature, water and songwriting to stay sane. It’s a way to process life and transcend it. I’ve also found new love and a new sense of peace with being in the Midwest. There’s an optimism here and a smooth, tender hustle when you find your groove.”
"Sea Grave" is an emotional road map. When was the last time you listened to a record from start to finish? This is one of those records. “If the listener is happy, I hope this makes them happier. And if they’re sad, it makes them sadder, but in a purposeful, integrating way. I hope it makes them cry or feel loved. I hope it makes them want to find love.”
"Sea Grave" will be available on cassette and digitally September 8, 2017 from Friendship Fever.
