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.

More pictures from the event last Sunday can be found here.

The line-up for this apparition of The Goner was Josef Bjerlin (bass), Jonas Eriksson (drums), Johan Knudsen (guitar, vocals), Daniel Westerlund (guitar, banjo, vocals).

We had a great time on this beautiful day. Thank you everyone. /D.W., The Goner.

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).

The re-release of H.H. (Hind Hand+Haven) on Deep Water Acres has been reviewed twice in the last month. The first one is from Foxy Digitalis and the second one is from Terrascope. Now make up your own mind and buy the record from Deep Water!

The eminent label DEEP WATER ACRES for drone/freefolk/psychedelic sounds has reissued Hind Hand and Haven! This beautiful release is out now. More information here.

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

THANK YOU EVERYONE.
