lyrics
Spake the seraph that these seeds do cast our page:
Hewn from wood this paper music echoes age.
Grown as a sapling in this mind to write the tale,
And left, in the sun to dry the page.
We sing shanties to ashes told by bards of fickle aim
lest be the words wasted, drowned in sea and sail.
Hear this lie, oh, as I the sentence cast
As words, on the sea to judge this fallen writer’s mast.
Yet love, I have earned myself this love…
Through my cowardice forged love…
As the zealot often does:
I consign myself to rust.
Travail these winds, that gust my soul through
As a wisp, my broken language apt for this:
To rake my fallen mind like this,
The truth will out but not forgive.
My understanding be too thin,
Within this mind a coward sits;
If all my words do fly amiss
Then pray that thee might yet forgive.
Pretence past, I give thee all:
This coward, chronicled.

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli

Ah, why didn't I buy this earlier? Has been on my wishlist since it's release and Bad Elephant Music's sampler and ongoing sales campaign luckily triggered the buy.
Tags given are post-progressive and post-rock, but the music feels much lighter than I usually associate with those tags. Quite song-oriented, indeed. Great music, great vocals. Carsten Pieper
The Australian instrumental band juxtapose classical pianos and ambient swells with uncompromising, proggy post-metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 9, 2023

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-))
Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) . Carsten Pieper
