lyrics
5 - W.C.A. (Sæther) 4:15
so what do we look to
for hints of what we'll need to
do, when this is over at long long last?
there's no going backwards
but so many factors
all conspire to keep us dumb and in the dark
what comes after - I couldn't even begin to tell
what comes after - what will remain and what will have gone to hell?
a palpable tension,
without comprehension:
from utter detachment to full-on panic attacks
an endless mutation
or progress and stagnation?
there is no telling and there’s no going back
what comes after - i couldn't even begin to tell
what comes after - what will remain and what will have gone?
giant steps - a quantum leap to greet a new day dawning
scared and closed or prepped and primed to get the 20s roaring
once again?
what comes after - I couldn't even begin to tell
what comes after - what will remain and what will have gone to hell?

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that. QNdNas7kQgBG5fi
The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
South African punk legends Ivan Kadey (National Wake) and Warrick Sony (Kalahari Surfers) team up for an album of rousing folk-rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 22, 2022
Big, brawny, hooky songs with 20-ton riffs and choruses as sweet as candy make this one of the month’s strongest rock albums. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 12, 2020
It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia.
