1.	Our Lost Infantry - Fearless 05:01	lyrics	buy track
this state of grace that we have found. you pull me up, you break me down. this state of grace exists between us. drenched in your blood and i’m dying. to just lay here with you. making no sense of the white noise. and pheromone scent, i’m shaking. please don’t turn away. lay on your side with me. plan out our history. clavicle to clavicle. skin against my skin. this state of grace that we have found. you pull me up, you break me down. this state of grace exists between us. all the hollow spaces. of my head and neck and chest. and childhood home. are ringing out in sympathy. for all the things. i still haven’t done (i’ll go there with you). this state of grace that we have found. you pull me up, you break me down. this state of grace exists between us. we dare to dream at least in silence

3.	Accents - Storms 03:20	lyrics	buy track
There's a hole in our chests that tells me love is no victor. It stays where it is and then heads south just for the winter. All the birds in the sky watch it float on home to its kingdom. I know there's a storm that will find us all. The sun's beating high while the moon's on the opposite side. Like a couple of lovers who sleep well half of the night. The thrills come and go but you can't let the boredom surround you. Yes, I know there's a heart that could warm us all. It's all just a game, though improperly played by my standards. The penalties fall from the lips of innumerable cowards. If you were a friend, then where the hell have you been? God I know there's a love that will find us all. God I know there's a love that will find us all. And god I know there's a love that will find us all. And god I know there's a love that will find us all

5.	Again For The Win - The Lines Above Our Heads 04:38	lyrics	buy track
escaping. I'm lost in this quiet house. engaging. a calm and final bout. we are listening. we're comfortable by now. we'll be patient. we'll be quiet for now. driving. down these roads that always look the same. we are diving. into infinity. I can feel this ever changing moment. and I know this too shall fade. returning. like a soldier who knew where he was. you don't stand oblivious. when you're here with us. you're like a warrior. you're proud and sincere. we've been patient. we won't be quiet now. I can feel this ever changing moment. and I know this too shall fade. I saw guiding lights that I drew myself. not in arrogance. I saw guiding lights that I drew myself. not in arrogance. I saw guiding lights that I drew myself. you can go where you want to be. I saw guiding lights that I drew myself. you can go where you need to be. Go where you want to be. I am where I need to be
6.	Ethienne - Ultrapop 03:30	lyrics	buy track
A little lost in the universe. Yet again. I'll never get back, never get back, never. Don't say that this will all fall through. You think that this should all be serious. Yeah you do? I'll never get back, never get back, never. Seems like I can never please you. Though there's nothing really wrong there's nothing right. His paper's smile's been crumpled at the corners for a while . Pretends to know just what he's doing so that he might. Dazzle you with all the words that you will like. It's all a little bit mysterious, Don't you think? I need a cause for pause, need to find that something. To help me iron out the kinks. Though there's really wrong there's nothing right. His paper's smile's been crumpled at the corners for a while. Pretends to know just what he's doing so that he might. Dazzle you with all the words he thinks that you will like
7.	Keystone Kids - Miles 03:54	lyrics	buy track
miles and miles away we live our days. no face to face, just voices on the phone. miles and miles away we live our days. no face to face, just voices on the phone. when weekends come i can't wait to see you (miles and miles away). i'm counting down the days 4, 3, 2, 1 (voices on the phone). please move your body close to me. i want to hear your heart beating. and when, when the morning light shines in. wrap me in your arms and keep holding. monday morning it's time to go to work. get on the bus, pretend you are with me. it's been three years since we have lived like this. it's time to change it up. no more counting down! so please! move your body close to me, i want to hear your heart beating. and when, when the morning light shines in. wrap me in your arms and keep holding. i left new york last month, left busy streets. you are my heart, you are where my home is
8.	The Sky Life - Granville 02:55	lyrics	buy track
i love the man on the bridge. he makes the world seem like a movie screen. he’s a character that one...that one...you know the one. the ripples on the water all gold like that. it looks so good almost hinting at the stars above us. at what’s to come or what was. and this just goes to show. and this just goes to show our sides. i love the buildings across the water that cause the golden lights to shine. these wretched people are killing the world. well who knows? the earth may be getting old. the ripples on the water all gold like that. it looks so good almost hinting at the stars above us. at what’s to come or what was. and this just goes to show. and this just goes to show our sides
9.	The Cast Before The Break - Sleep 06:19	lyrics	buy track
The sky was gold until it rained. But I wasn't ready for a sign of god. So I'm still here waiting. Not willing to be blinded like a fool. And like the silence I surround you. I pull apart the seams. And separate the sound. But my eager arms are full. And that's how it's got to stay, dear. For better or for worse. We'll sleep when time allows. Defy all of my strength and make a man of me. (I swear I will let you in). Your saga is something I can't read. Your solace is something I don't need. Asleep or still?

Instrumental
11.	The Dandelion War - A Different Heav'n 05:30	lyrics	buy track
banished from paradise. cast into a lake of fire. my vengeful wrath will soon transpire. i can see a flaw in your creation, dear god. no man can withstand the powers of temptation. i’m the serpent slithering nearby. wrapping my body around trees that feed. the hungry. the poor. the wild. the blind. the adams. the eves. the saints. the sinners. the hunger in everyone. the mind is its own place, and in itself. can make a heav’n of hell, a hell of heav’n
12.	The Lions Rampant - Let Us In! (Come On) 02:33	lyrics	buy track
oh come on (yeah). oh come on (yeah). let us in (yeah). oh come on. have you seen little suzy. with her bright blonde hair. she's been with a lot of boys. but, baby, she's no worse for the wear. oh come on (yeah). oh come on (yeah). let us in (yeah). oh come on. there goes cocaine johnny. with the ring on his nose. he's the one with all the drugs. so everybody goes where he goes. oh come on (yeah). oh come (yeah). let us in (yeah). oh come on. uh uh. you know i gotta. uh uh. you know i wanna. uh uh. you know i wanna. ooooh. you got bright blonde hair and i like your style, give it to me once, give me a smile, give it to me, give it to me. oh come on (yeah). oh come (yeah). let us in (yeah). oh come on
13.	Cari Clara - Homage To Excess 04:35	lyrics	buy track
I can’t feel a thing, am I home? the only light is flickering, missed calls from a cellular phone. the ice in my drink is all I can taste. an homage to excess. the picture of dwindling faith. I’ve spent years turning these thoughts to fears. I’m giving back the air I breathe for anything whole. so where are the pieces I’ve thrown? with powder burns to finger tips, with ringing ears and blood on my lips. a thought too familiar is all I have left. I’ve owned you once, I’ve hated. I need you more, now and again. I’ve spent years turning these thoughts to fears. I’m giving back the air I breathe for anything whole. I stand here, cover my eyes, mouth, ears. keep the bed warm, I failed. bury the boy in me. god it’s so clear, close to the flame. I can’t feel a thing, am I home? the only light is flickering, missed calls from a cellular phone. the ice in my drink is all I can taste. an homage to excess. the picture of dwindling faith. I’ve spent years turning these thoughts to fears. I’m giving back the air I breathe for anything whole

15.	Athletics - Speaking For Everyone (Version II - Piano) 03:19	lyrics	buy track
Take my heart. Take everything, and throw it in the well. Even the surface holds no safety. So when the sun fails to rise in the East, I won't see anything that I need. Have mercy on everything but me.

about

Fiercely independent Deep Elm Records continues to build a better label - one that operates for glory, not gold. We see our label being about people coming together, meeting, singing and sharing that experience with each other...those are the times that we remember forever. It's about the power of music and the bands that create it. Founded on respect for music and the creative process, a goal of discovering new artists and undying integrity in everything we do, Deep Elm strives to further its reputation as one of the world's most reliable sources of quality independent recordings. On a completely self-sufficient basis and without outside support, Deep Elm competes in an industry dominated by corporate giants. We are proud to be 100% independent. We put out the records that move us and support the bands we love. We survive on word of mouth. So if you are a fan, spread the word. And we'll make sure these bands will continue to be there when you need them. We're not just making music, we're making history...

"You have the corporate sell-out, pseudo-indie labels who work hand in hand with major record companies for distribution and publicity, and then you have the keepers of the true faith, as exemplified by Deep Elm Records: untainted by commercial interests, true indie labels undyingly devoted to the music with a singular passion. Deep Elm has made a name for itself as champion of the independent artist." - Power Of Pop

"Seeing the Deep Elm Records logo attached to any release is an automatic seal of approval for me, and is it any wonder why? When it comes to indie and post-rock music, there isn't another label out there in possession of a stronger arsenal than what Deep Elm boasts. And they haven't just provided us with some of the seminal albums of the past decade, but also with bands that could set the benchmark for the next..." - RockFreaks
