about
Recorded in 1989 / This version contains an extra bit of tape I found endearing to add to the end because it goes well with the last bit...
lyrics
Paper Boats
A little boy stands alone
watching as the tide comes rushing in
and he smiles as his paper boat
gently floats away
And he sails…
He waits for a friend to come
and watch the voyage
way out into sea
after an hour had gone
he walked away
the ships were out of sight
We’re out of sight…
Paper boats washed on the shore
in some land not too far away
a little girl picks them up
cradles them like crying babies
Is this what it’s all about?
Is this what it’s all about?
Paper boats washed on the shore
in some land not too far away
a little girl picks them up
cradles them like crying babies
Paper boats washed on the shore
Paper boats…
[ Claude S. / BMI]
A little boy stands alone
watching as the tide comes rushing in
and he smiles as his paper boat
gently floats away
And he sails…
He waits for a friend to come
and watch the voyage
way out into sea
after an hour had gone
he walked away
the ships were out of sight
We’re out of sight…
Paper boats washed on the shore
in some land not too far away
a little girl picks them up
cradles them like crying babies
Is this what it’s all about?
Is this what it’s all about?
Paper boats washed on the shore
in some land not too far away
a little girl picks them up
cradles them like crying babies
Paper boats washed on the shore
Paper boats…

about
Anything Box Long Beach, California
Whatever you think you know about 'synthpop' throw it out your window. Synthpop here is an art movement, a dadaist version. For people. Maybe someone like you. We like you. You're still reading this? OK. Be careful, time displacements have been known to occur in this construct. Are you still reading this? Good. You are worthy. ... more

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽

SO thrilled to support Numbers by buying this compilation.
go to album -
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing.
go to album -
This duo's eclectic album swoons with melancholic synth n'guitar, and surprises with dub tinged experimental production.
