Scheele's green coloured eyelids Powder fiend terraced houses Marry me silpomona With Perylene ruby finger His name is wall Mirror plane sprawl Who says we'll love anymore? Coma clean perma freezes Cellophane's favourite fever Cut out me in a red gown Feels and pleased full of insides As to repeal anyone Cause we won't need anymore We've only one more to go. His name is wall, No we'll not need anymore.

Bonassus 01:30
Fever wet with her glossy lone soap patch, we’re so no match Riving wishbones sulk clinic undone, and too attached Swim foiled in the hydrocyanic Aphid owned for a camera pallid Face the cavern who’s not invited There she goes in a coloured siren Heavy dry ringing eyes sick motion sigh, but there’s the catch Waging still without odds of finding him, alone at last Casting gold for the massing crowds and Flee the coup rove the gossip lines Gentle throws sake and pail in compare Thrashing bare at her coiling hair

Several mirrors piece an arcless span Photo witness to a circle dance Irksome ritual to temporal scan Entrails towering the coven clan Green teeth passing through a sacred aisle Choke hold channeling the diamond mines Formless vessel veering near grim Spun loom fate begins a chain by whim Knee jerk mirror shatters arcless span Birthday witness to a circle dance Show boat rituals a temporal scan Guts gore towering the coven clan

In the murmur shudder fragile constant fold And will I give in a little? 
And if I give in a little? Rid the balance mothers sudden outline cove In the night, a minute of it Heavy eyed, considering it Inner-modal terrifies, suffuses spine Inner mind, with litter in it Ill devised, a flitter image At the nadir arcing treadmill trivialised Utterance of acrobatics amplified Second I, give in a little Yeah did I, give in a little?

Night Heron 02:10
Lurid drapes in aura spikes, the wound separated breaks in stripes. Shaded the armoury of mites Gone was the candle looming over my, Faltering reverie in half light Castle is a cannibal design
In the corners insects fight I was the wish that surfaces align Even in the rushes and the reeds Where the heron sings and cries and bleeds I deny, all you gotta do is lie Force was a momentary joy And I was still an ordinary boy dug the ditches in the soil Tempered the willows in recoil of my Simulated amputation reign And the subjects wince and fawn and feign Messianic camera Points in the face of anima Even in the rushes and the reeds Where the heron fights and fucks and feeds I deny, all you gotta do is lie.

Petrichor 01:35
Synthetic sentimental types Ineffable and quiet kinds With iridescent vector prize The never-ending tires Mellifluous but most of all Still wishing on the physical In quietude with animus His terrifying world Born again red ochre lips With honey skin and saffron tints Cherries of southern decadence Never are more themselves Person parts persona sari samba showgirl crystal fray beads Triple Razor, cellotaper, shoots with glue gun, loaded for paper Punches with a thought uncoiled Rose petrichor of sweetened blush

UnMattress 01:25
Fairy witness spoke a spring bears Arms of rubber memory coils and toils It has the character of something all familiar and sprung we lay upon it now and then. And now and then I wish that I was brave enough to stretch you out and let you wander flat soled, wander flat soled.

Re-enenactor performs another a loop He’s sort of a spook Haunted by a script Forming in his lips Overlaying a ghost Benefactor is boldly resolute Fixed to the wall I’m the thermostat Watching it repeat I don’t believe it was mine Watch it repeat all the time I don’t believe it was mine I can’t believe it was, I can’t believe it was I can’t believe it was, I can’t believe it was Sort of a spook Haunted by a script Forming in his lips Overlaying a ghost

Porous pensive loft Tiny flight paths stop On a covered croft Persperates it soft We're out of the league of... Here.

about

Lossy is the 21 track sophomore album from Oro Swimming Hour. Recorded in two sittings onto tape machines in Nicholas’s home office and Oliver’s shared living room, it depicts songs about topics such as sub marine life, arsenic wallpaper, 90’s computer games and cartwheels.

“It’s meant to make the world appear more optimistic through ill-conceived capturings, what is essentially children’s music for adults, pop music for people who hate pop music, lo-fi for people who hate fi, loose fact.”

Much like their debut, Penrose Winoa, each track is a floating induction of nostalgia lasting no longer than 3 minutes each. A beautifully haunting succession, Lossy encapsulates the sentiments of sitting by the fire during a romantic, olde-worlde winter’s eve.

The album is out on the 12th of November, 2019 onto two different splatter effect limited edition (200 copy) 12” Vinyl and vivid green cassette. Each vinyl will include an A5 two colour riso zine featuring lyrics, photos and artwork.
