Haec 03:07
I woke alone Slowly I rose from my sleep Outside my window there was no sun for me Labor in vain I lift my head to breath Hoping to see the end, desperately grasping dreams I lay me down Buried beside my love Oh can it be here below same as it is above
2.
Nightly 02:54
Forces enter you like breath The sting, the offspring of death herself I hear my babies cry all through the night Stricken by haunting dreams Nightly they return to haunt Someday I fear they will not Then I will know my end, know my rest Then I will know the true darkness
3.
Lazy River 04:17
Like a thorough bread horse arching its neck in dying light Letting its mane grow long and flow into the night Time is still but deep and runs its current through my heart The lazy river flows to oceans in the dark Through my window blinds the sunlight seems to slowly fall As my candle burns I see my shadow dancing on the wall Though I know not where to go I’ll follow so close behind Give it one more try as I weave myself into another life In a thronging cavalry, filled with passion and forget Writing twisted dreams held firm until the end Unsurpassed in beauty she holy Helen came and went Only thoughts of loveless passion did she spend Now I go with her and sacrifice my only child In perverted paraphrase I worship shadows in the night Though I know not where to go I’ll follow so close behind Walk into the light as I weave myself into another life
4.
Wind 02:35
Thought I heard some voices call, but it was just the wind a-windin’ Thought I heard some footsteps fall but it was just the gravel grindin’ When I sit here all alone Let my weary mind roam And slowly close my eye I can make believe your mine Thought I heard my favorite song but it what just the chimes a-chimin’ Then I tried to sing along but the wind had stopped its windin’ Gotta try to convince myself I can really be someone else And my life will all workout And my blues won’t haunt me down Thought I saw my shadow leave me Then I found the sun deceive me As it passed right be on its way Though I know it’s not forever Nothing I can’t keep together But my words and those I’ll never say Thought I heard you say my name but it was just my mind a-wanderin’ Though I saw you walk my way but it was just that memory hauntin’
5.
Time Piece 04:14
Time piece antithesis of my memories Wandering you are the light that I’m following The weary voices in the dark are calling out and I begin to walk And every star is shining down on me alone, on me and no one else Lord, let me walk in your garden Lay me, lay me down on the roses Keep me in your right hand Keep me in your right hand The hollow place from where I come Some memory that I must soon forget The heart’s a hallway vast and hushed And far away I hear your subtle steps
6.
Let me be the one If you’re feeling lonely I can make you feel at home No one else around you, I’ll surround you with my love Hold you close and keep you in a place where you belong Oh, if you let me be the one Let me see you cry Don’t be scared, I know it’s hard but let me see you try Though it’s all the same don’t be ashamed to be in love I’ve not gone far but I know that no one should feel along Oh, won’t you let me be the one

about

Kevin Krauter's debut EP, Magnolia, comes from a place of ease, instinct, and sincerity; ease in its conception and execution, instinct present yet well-informed, and sincerity felt but never forced. The initial four tracks were recorded in Muncie, Indiana for a fellow student's semester project in the Spring of 2015, with the completed six song EP finished shortly thereafter. What resulted is a raw yet accessible work that feels familiar on the first listen. Taking inspiration from early folk artists from the 60s and 70s as well as more contemporary acts such as Sigur Ros and The Clientele, Krauter synthesizes a wide range of creative impulse into a refreshing and original body of work that pays humble respect to its predecessors while tastefully utilizing their influence.
