about

The EP titled "Fuschia Machu Picchu" are songs about longing, love, plants, and the inner life of inanimate objects. The sound is very much inspired by the world music he grew up.

“I’m always hearing some sort of defunct cosmic ice cream truck in my head – that’s the sound I’m after with my mbiras and tank drums and other tuned percussion. Hopefully people will get that." - Joachim Cooder

lyrics

Ask the sun painted red too soon
I love you
Ask the dust in this telephone room
I love you

Everyone sleeps in the light
In the light of a bitter moon
Everybody's looking out baby
From another room
Crying out don’t pass me by

Ask the lights on Highway One
They follow you
Ask my shadow trapped on these walls
they haunt me too
now they’re gonna haunt me too

Everyone sleeps in the light
In the light of a bitter moon
Everybody's looking out baby
From another room
Crying out don’t pass us by

I’m the tunnel man from your tunnel game
I wait to play with you
When will you send me on through

When surprises this sublime fall out of the sky, there is no other response than to shake the head in wonder and say "thank you." These songs have a cosmic-edged center to them that takes all of Cooder's many adventures, wraps everything in a big bow, and delivers them like a really early holiday present. There is a playfulness that goes way beyond anything else being recorded today,. B. Bentley ... more
