Breaker 02:25
The moments crash on by before you know what’s lost while you act like this present never ends. You’ll grasp at empty days after they pass you by, clutching at what you missed. Breathe deep. Breathe slow. Targets come, faces go in confused waves of change; the things you expect will not come to pass. Here there are only means that matter as your ends simply wash away. Precarious lives, precarious ambitions, etched out on reclaimed land. The water will flood back in.
2.
Custody 02:25
It’s her words that fall from my mouth. It’s his words that fall from my mouth. What I claim isn’t mine alone. What I own I don’t own alone. It’s my words that fall from her mouth. It’s my words that fall from his mouth. What I build I don’t build alone. Where I stand I don’t stand alone. But I know it wasn’t their time and I know it might not be mine. Actions still half formed, discussions half finished, the door held ajar, still waiting.
3.
Myth 02:14
Lives like chess - but without the same set of chess pieces on the board. And maybe you’re better at this than I could be but its lies to say the game wasn’t rigged; it’s a lie to pretend somehow you earned what you won alone. I wince at lost pieces. The moves I make are not moves I’d choose. My options drift away as mistakes start to sink in but its lies... You never stood alone. Self made myth, self made man.
4.
Charcoal 01:32
What do I nurture? What will I tread down? I stand between what I need and what I could be. Like ashes after wildfire; new shoots push on up through fertile soil. I’m reminded there are many types of warrior when I watch you refuse an easy way out. I have a choice just to stand for myself or to take a risk on something more.
5.
Remainder 01:20
Hide behind “if you didn’t, someone would”. Tell me, what in “just trying to get on” makes that choice and your actions less than yours, turns a wrong to doing right and sets you free? I know you. We know you. We don’t forget. Defeat is being here to remind you: “Count our faces - your eyes shut tight - one by one.”

about

Until The Day Break was recorded by Latchstring at The Fishtank, location unknown (Fratton, actually).

It was recorded across two weekends in the month of September 2019.

It's a culmination of our collective determination to get these bastard songs recorded, despite the best efforts of life to just get in the way.

We'd like to thank absolutely everyone that we have played with, has booked us, hosted us, fed us, watered us, had their coffee and beer and Lindas snaffled by us, been in the same space as a row about what is and is not 'punk' has occurred among us, and generally supported us. It has not gone unnoticed and if we didn't thank you effusively enough at the time, consider this a tip of the hat.

"Until the day breaks and chases the shadows away you have to learn to live in the night, and that means learning how to fight for ourselves and each other."
