about

{1991 demo recording digitized from DAT, edited, mixed and mastered}

lyrics

You wear straw by daylight
The day is made of straw
Crushed velvet for twilight
It helps to break your fall
You shun the sun at noon
Because the heat could make you thaw
Fractured by moonlight
You feel the crutches make you tall

The night is made of nothing
There is nothing left to fear
Not the Thief, the Clown nor Cupid
But the fear of velvet
The night is made of nothing
But the fear of velvet

I know love is expensive
Love is never explained
I simply stepped off of the curb
To resample your special pain
I had my walkman way up loud
As the bus ran through the light
I simply stepped off of the curb
Into the soft velvet night

And the night is made of nothing
There is nothing left to fear
Not the Thief, the Clown nor Cupid
But the fear of velvet
The night is made of nothing
But the fear of velvet

Fear of velvet?
Feel the velvet
Feel the soft velvet night

about

Myself a Living Torch San Francisco, California

By turns surreal, beautiful, arch, and melancholic, MaLT’s sonic adventures explore the meaning of love and role of sex in a failing, depersonalized culture. Literate enough for lasting relevance, tuneful enough for disposable pop; dark, sometimes heavy, but always with sly humor and a dash of hope. Active in SF CA between 1991 and 1993 ... Credit Louis-Ferdinand Céline for the incendiary name. ... more
