  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    "Bizarre and playful. Psychedelic and indulgent. Hyper and Unique. Creative and poppy at once. The songs are silly little jaunts that somehow stimulate the mind and the ears while not taking themselves too seriously. The band is fun without apologies, but also strangely progressive and experimental." - COMMODITY FETISH RECORDS MAGAZINE

    “With lyrics befitting Captain Beefheart, Andre Breton, and/or Daevid Allen, there is nothing else I know of out there like Kingdom of Not, and consequently, impossible to classify.” – STEVE MECCA/ CHAIN D.L. K.

    "For a moment, suspend disbelief, and imagine you are in a room with a number of the following characters: Tiny Tim / “Weird Al” Yankovic / Ann Magnussen and Kramer of Bongwater / Spinal Tap / Tim Burton / David Lynch / David Byrne / Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh / Flaming Lip’s Wayne Coyne / Camper van Beethoven / Carl Stalling / Damon Albarn. This album may be the result of such a composition of individuals and performance enhancing substances… or not. Musically satirical, lyrically clever. With delivery full of puns and fun! Poppy-silly-demented get your goof-on and kook out rhythms." - KFJC SAN JOSE/DJ MISTER S

lyrics

His thoughts are exploding in daydreams
That expand and contract as they fall
They squeak in and out of the bedsprings
As they fall from his head through the floor

I cannot return to the dresser drawer
Falling
Or crawl through the pillows and carpet floors
Falling
I’d rather be out in the evermore
Falling
And swim with the fish on the ocean floor

The dust mite crawls over the window
With no one to feel his despair
He taps on the glass in the moonlight
He cannot go back to his lair

I’m the plant growing over the garden wall
Falling
With nothing to lose or be sorry for
Falling
Burn up my flesh on a shooting star
Falling
I’m trapped like a fly in a mason jar
Falling

Moments forever emblazoned
Are spinning around on a thread
Twirling through layers of fragments
From the dreams turning round in his head

I’m the pilot, the scout and the bombardier
Take me away
In an epoch of mirrors and chandeliers
Take me away
That explode in instant and then reappear
Take me away
With nothing to do but to persevere

The clock on the wall strikes at midnight
But time has no meaning in here
No reason to count by the hours
No minutes, no seconds, no years

Please take me away from this windowsill
Take me away
Bathe my head all in gold like a daffodil
Take me away
Let me sing in the trees like a whippoorwill
Take me away
And ride on a leaf in the autumn chill

Take me away
Take me away

The dust mite grows still on the window
And calmly accepts his demise
The dream of his body is ending
Yet the stars are reborn in his eyes

The stars reborn in his eyes
And the sun and the moon in his eyes
All the heavens ablaze in his eyes
