The Goner presents two unreleased and brand new songs on their myspace! You can find them here.
Bitemarks is written by Daniel Westerlund. Flogger is a group effort written by the whole gang Westerlund/Knudsen/Bjerlin/Eriksson.
The future of these songs is as of now uncertain but the group is working on a new full length release. When and where it will come out is too early to tell.

Four new songs have been uploaded to The Goners myspace! They are all from a new demo entitled BEHOLD A NEW TRAVELER. These songs are the first results of The Goners transformation from soloproject to group effort. Although Daniel Westerlund continues to be the main songwriter and musician these recordings would have been impossible without the aid of Jonas Eriksson (drums), Johan Knudsen (guitars and co-songwriter on Bright and colossal), Thorbjörn Skoglund (bass).

BEHOLD A NEW TRAVELER
cold morning
behold a new traveler
just a visitor
longing for no one in particular
hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive
watch the clouds from gallows bay
riches upon riches
watch the ropes in the dirt
like stillborn snakes in the river
hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive
don’t guard your temple
let the door swing wide open
your house is so closed-off
it is freezing
hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive
let the eyes of a blind man
shine like jewels in your sockets
throw me the case of the zodiac
and I’ll unlock it
hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive
because the pages are frail
because the story is never-ending
because the book is always returning
behold a new traveler
hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive
