Wind her up, wind her up
it's been years since she came
over on the green plains to you
She calls his name
Shannaddee a dee a dee a dee
over rock and sea
to her baby
When the box went in the ground
cedar trees were all around
a war did take him from her town
and she aint nothing but a ghost now
wind up doll
in the back
wind up doll
click and clack
click and clack
She will never be what you want her to be
She has dreams
every night
that the box of cedar where
where you went to lay
will come to life
hold her on the greens
hold her on the green plains
like you used to do
but she ain't nothing but a ghost you
you wind her up
in the back
wind up doll
click and clack
click and clack
she will never be what you want her to be
wind her up to walk and wind her up to speak
Hold her on the greens
Hold her on the green plains
like you used to do
but she aint nothing but a ghost

Fantastic album. Very reminiscent of 90s slowcore with an even more beautiful and dark edge. It's hard to find music like this nowadays but I'm very pleased to have found it. Jesse Mullen
Singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, Chelsea Wolfe’s plaintive voice is the centerpiece of all of these chillingly bleak tunes. Watery, sliding orchestration suits the misty and dark environment that she evokes throughout. Unflinchingly stark, the recording suitably ends with a storm. Nickie Harte Kelly
The latest from Julian Temple Band is full of shadowy, trembling art rock, wtih melodies that summon a sense of mystery. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 29, 2023
Winsome and winning indie pop songs on the latest from The Chairman Dances, where erudite lyrics are cradled by gorgeous arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2023
