Cardinal 00:28
Falling in the shape of the cardinal’s cape All settled on Frost in to rain in to mirror headed pain All settled on

Marshmellow 01:30
Are you cold? In the air painting from your mind Pushing too hard Tearing a hole In the mountain with your knife Never made mistakes before Circle pushing in itself Portal in the nature wall Splitting strokes of colour marks The cameras choose to cut to blue It’s weird when things go wrong Colder here and now diffuse the whole light crew To take to the car park Never in a million years A window through a solid rock Walking on the roads tonight iIt’s strange here but it is alright

Squint 03:01
What grows up underneath? Pushing up baby teeth? Fairy prayer theif Save my ghost sprite Look at those hands all tied together Stop me touch type I don’t know why I’m gone again I’m backlight pyrite Heaven’s got wires and wires forever Measure me anonymous Send me down Wide eyes are leaving me A lazy cavalry On your own feet Save my ghost sprite Look at those hands all tied together Stop me touch type I don’t know why I’m gone again I’m backlight pyrite Heaven’s got wires and wires forever Measure me anonymous Send me down Measure me anonymous Send me down Planes might sky write Miss you this time I’ll try another Measure me anonymous Send me down Measure me autonomous Send me down

Mountain father bridge of iron Who disappears before sunrise To gather rocks from the hillside And brings them back to show his wife And greets the birds with secret names The osprey nest not far away His stride the length of a great lake His pack all filled with Kodak takes Wilderness walker at home Heavy collection of stones Too sketch the view from in the tent And to record the sky event Aurora spilling outer space The hands that see the shimmer trace The earthen span, the valley air The meeting with the spirit bear I’m glad that we could share a name And codes that render us the same Wilderness Walker at Home Heavy Collection of stones Wilderness Walker at Home Heavy Collection of stones

Cast off, the clapping slate For salty rain and parking space Don’t buy, the silver line You travelled well within beside Has my head shots faded? And my cover raided? Worlds by storm I’m taking Risk reward, nominees All singing and dancing A tv tragic narrative Scan patterns cut replace Took credit for my youthful face Game of physical tics Dumb dicks with dumb tricks Play the tape i’ll roll heads Take to heart, every part, Snellen chart, Doesn’t start, Martial arts, washing cars.

Lip 01:15
Who fogged the windows nebulo? Kink collar dissolves in a murky soak Even tastes of smoke, all it it takes to choke Grand bank is thick enough to cloak My hand disappears in silver rope Almost be the ghost, always hooks me the most Violet wand, obfuscated I feel on, skin tight in the shroud Violet wand, obfuscated I feel on, skin tight in the shroud

A chalcedony casket Carries Alice Trappings Counts her classic facets For ceremonious passing’s She’d have liked Left vexed in a cutaway opening scene Kept picturesque and panicking Night skies who propose through their colour codes Dyed us chartreuse, incarnadine Kiss the cuts, yeah they feel better but No one knows, where they could have come from Oh that only she knew Dares to wear her headdress Draped in Ametrines Dragged through pigeons blood And desperate dying plans Fed her dreams Said so proud like it were the first Chance to scare those ghosts away Trying to speak, waiting for your turn My house? we can go anytime? Held hands made flesh print monocles Deep end sleeps learned if you breathe you float Oh that only we know, yeah that only we knew Kissed the cuts, and now they just hurt worse Talked to herself Though In person Nothing goes in Goodbye Alice

Overturn 02:30
Hey there shiver, Known fly tipper Waving at your girl Ingenue, Ingenue Hey grave digger Swim that river Pay the man your coin Big dog collar Over all you’re Never gonna prove Wincing At The Truth Crushing up In Your Car Rooms and cubicles Rushing back to the start Hey there donor Something on you Sucking at your wound Think I’m turning too Turning too Payphone caller Nonsense talker Saw him on the news My nerves sinking I’m blood drinking Now what you wanna do?

Overthrown 03:07
I lost sight of my pale feet And I pointed them home Kicking the phosphorescence shimmering in the foam Will you wash me up somewhere else? Can you give me another shell? Night swim baby Mutiny on our bodies Thinking got overthrown We felt heavy as eyelids And as light as a stone Will you wash me up somewhere else? Can you give me another shell? Will you wash me up somewhere else? Can you give me another shell? Night swim baby

Kellar 02:53
Boxed immigrant’s son, Gloss thirsty eyes come Chance minister plants, Showstopper seance, And now you’ve gone and saved your waning sway Uri Blue room, trick tomb Six box, ring clocks Takes to well lit stage, great feats all the rage, Self-decapitates, Ling look levitates, And now you’ve gone and saved your waning sway Gellar Crowds carried you there, in a chair, to your heir Draped the royal cape, round the nape of, his neck Pin tumblers combined, Faux key holes aligned False orbit complete Sink back in their seats, And now you’ve gone and saved your waning sway Kellar

Reacher 02:19
You rove the night And move in spite The murky deep That waits beneath The eye of kite The seeing sight Knows we’re here And starts to steer In the sanctum the cowboy and his gun And the tomb of the nautilus shield Hold on The photons fight To bring delight To burn the sea And scold our knees I know you might I read you write Maternal beams Soothe and scream Though you say that time is a place Never go there, nobody oooh Stacked around us, most of our days Skeletal and coral bleached

Ornatrice 03:13
Cross pitched care-plans found again cutting floors Hadn’t looked good in a while stay indoors We, go pace the allure, staring you out, lace wings on the floor Cross stitched hair bands, flung ahead, parapets Cut up patterns broke a mould sent them home Dryers heat the pre party, and all the girls help them get ready Lions throw themselves into the pens You’ll never hear a word from them again In a cloud of dusty malachite Taxi carries night Cross kicked doors in, calm her down, come back in Here’s the morning, castle head, go to bed We’re disorder to contain, make room it’s late We’ve Magic to obtain Lions throw themselves into the pens You’ll never hear a word from them again In a cloud of dusty malachite Taxi carries night Cold rose water, precipice Chalky sentimental mist Summers daughter, erudite Posey chamber tunnel light Cold rose water, precipice Chalky sentimental mist summers daughter, erudite Posey chamber tunnel light Citronella settled taste Meteoric shapes Plutonic pastie ache Cross key, guard tower, mono zen lunacy Denver postmark, jitter blood policy Gold spray to wash away, rodeo days Melt water refrains Lions throw themselves into the pens You’ll never hear a word from them again In a cloud of dusty malachite Snakes throw themselves into the pit You’ll never need a word from them again, again

Paracetemol 03:10
Paracetemol was the only thing gone From the tower of ferns Unbelievable not a leaf left unturned you broke the glass just to leave What holds your centre to the floor And guides your ankles animal? Divides your symbols And makes your rivers run? Imperceivable what you’re hoping to find And untreatable. Paracetamol you can have some of mine I hope it tastes terrible What holds your centre to the floor And guides your ankles animal? Divides your symbols And makes your rivers run?

Big Dipper 02:48
Painted in gold And traded for bones Sated the stones Your fate is your own Plated in mould Scissored and sewed Dressed in her clothes And made to explode Still doesn’t know Stretched the most Playing the host Gave up the ghost Claimed by the Earth Casting a curse Taylored to burst Made it the worst Tazered and stoned Cradled and cloned East of the road We translate her pose

Blinker 02:31
Weird drive in the early day To the second from last exit blinker, M1 Pull fast till you get it enough Concepting and rolling tongue twisters, for boys Pummel the dark, shallows Don’t really mind though I know you don’t Carve in the dash, we go I don’t really try though I know you don’t Lodestar leaking polar light Covered in a knowing lump sister c’mon Poured out in the desert lands Dried up in the comatose singer And done
17.
Spirit Realm 02:40
Go back to war Return to sleep Fold on the floor Terrain conforms Two times speak The open door The lights deformed Closed now for the longest time I can recall And terraform The spirit realm Pass overhead and low enough to suck in. Go back to the present day

about

The debut album from Oro Swimming Hour; a magical two piece featuring Bristol's own Oliver Wilde and children's book illustrator Nicholas Stevenson (also of Lucky Shivers). The 16 track album mastered by Orchid Tapes Warren Hildebrand is full to the brim with freak-folk anthems, lo-fi bedroom pop and the sound of Elliot Smith summoned to a torch-lit seance. Released July 28th 2017 on Art is Hard Records.

Penrose Winoa was recorded in the space of five short days in the living room of Oliver's shared house using analogue equipment. If you listen closely enough, amongst the hiss and crackle of the tape fuzz you'll pick up the comings and goings of various housemates as well as Sparklehorse the cat. With no track lasting longer than 3 minutes the album passes by in a breeze whilst inducing the feeling of a pleasantly sticky summer day.
