Kismet 04:17
Stare down at a lonely stream Stare down at a lonely stream All I want is to end this need All I want is to end this Everything’s so lost and faded Never meant to feel so hurt and jaded The story loops and has no end I’ve tried to make my amends It’s the story that has no other end And I could haunt this trail forever One step, I’ll end this misery The rustling leaves sound like a chorus This path which ends my symphony Ends my symphony Young hope fades into a dream Young hope fades into a dream Memories hold no joy for me Memories fade like this stream I never meant to feel this way Each day ends so cold and gray The story loops and has no end I’ve tried to make my amends It’s the story that has no happy end

Opechee Bay 03:34
Sunrise breaks and two lovers make A solemn promise to never fade away Midday bakes two buddies take The last two beers and jump into the lake He walks alone, he sleeps alone He’s having conversations with Friends he doesn’t have He sits at home, he eats at home He keeps the good thoughts on To keep the dark away Sunset fades away, another wasted day Lives go on together, aged skin like weather Moonlight shines, lovers pine Life’s not paused for grey, as he waits his days away

Hold 03:55
Some say they like it that you’re such a tease They walk up to you and beg, oh pretty please They don’t know you, don’t know you like I can Just want to party, don’t want to hold your hand And when it’s quiet, do you think that I can be the one That you call, when you’re down That you call, when you’re down and out That you call, when you’re down That you call, when you’re feeling low and need someone to hold It’s such a longing, I don’t know what to say Without sounding contrived, like I just want to get laid I’ll leave that to them, I’ll wait my turn Here in my heart a candle for you burns And when it’s quiet, do you think that I can be the one
4.
Going Home 03:21
Why? Why do you come here? Why? Do you like to taunt me? Why? Why do you stand there? Waiting, for me to fall And if you leave Have the decency to leave for me Say, say it’s the last time Say, you meant those words Say, there was a something Something, that could have been real And if you breathe Have the decency to breathe for me Don’t go home (breathe for me) Don’t go home (breathe for me) Don’t go home (breathe for me) Don’t go Sink, sink with the last ones Drink, drink yourself dry Think, think of the lost ones Shrink into your shame And if you stay Have the decency to stay away Going home Going home you say Going home I always thought you’d stay Going home Going home
5.
Give 04:49
Tell me what to be, puppet on your strings I’ll do anything, put it all on me Put it all on me, what am I to say Don’t throw it all away, put it all on me Are you out to sea, caught up on a wave Salt and misery, put it all on me Put it all on me, what am I to say Don’t throw it all away, put it all on me Are you up a tree, slung out on a branch Tell me what you see, put it all on me Put it all on me, what am I to say Don’t throw it all away, put it all on me

about

The five songs on this EP move one through the trials, doubts and fears of relationships. From the abrupt sonic punch opening of Kismet to the dwindling final notes of Give the listener is drawn in to the album.

“Salt and Misery” was recorded at Woolly Mammoth Sound in Waltham, MA in March and April of 2017. Behind the board was legendary musician/songwriter/producer Dave Minehan, founder of the Neighbhorhoods and current lead guitarist for The Replacements.

The Winter Project lost their drummer’s ability to record to a bizarre powertool accident (true story!) just weeks before recording. Luckily, Boston is rich with musical talent and the session was saved when a friend stepped in. This brought a freshness and urgency to the tracks as the band found their footing with a new battery while in the studio.

The result is an EP filled with tension, anticipation and urgency.
