Michael Reilly Pull Back for Sound immediately impresses with its muscular bass and mature tunes, exhibiting genuine weight and texture in sound and intent. Amy's vocals enrich these compositions that shift and transform with great momentum. Highly memorable. Favorite track: The More I Think.

Steve Lawson Having been a Clatter fan for over a decade, I was delighted at the news of their return, and so much moreso to hear this their greatest album so far. Truly brilliant songwriting, playing and production. Amy is a genuine bass hero. ❤️

The more I think About it now The more I feel betrayed somehow I see you smile Across the room The wrong direction A crowded space A willing face Another glass or two of wine A private toast You move in close A secret whisper The working late The dinner dates Another weekend left alone And when we talk you say the words but you're not speaking It’s just a phase it’s just a fad I’m sure there’s nothing going on I stayed up waiting for you But who came home Suspicion Premonition Your head turned on the pillow You’re searching for a smile Deep sigh in the twilight Then silence Your clothes trapped in the corner A pocket of lies Absent is the band of truth And that’s when hope dies Staring at the darkness A breach by my side I yearn to reach out to you You’re too far away The more I think About it now The more I feel betrayed somehow I see you smile Across the room The wrong direction A crowded space A willing face Another glass or two of wine A private toast You move in close A secret whisper The working late The dinner dates Another weekend left alone And when we talk you say the words but you're not speaking The sand is shifting at my feet I see the point but not the line A thousand daggers In my chest But I’m not bleeding Betrayal Denial

Space of One 03:26
Every time you go away This sadness it weighs upon my heart You leave me all alone Sit in silence by the telephone The only company for me Is the refrigerator drone And I'm left all alone In our empty home In our empty home In our empty home You're only happy when you're on the run Leave me alone in this space of one I feel more empty Whenever you're around I feel your heart beat But don't hear the sound It's more than I can bear To live with someone who will not share You leave me all alone In this space of one In this space of one In this space of one

Dive 06:39
My decay is getting clearer From the rejection in the mirror Confidence is wearing down Something’s different, something’s changed (Drifting sailboats on the horizon) Contemplating my rendition Of this untenable position No distraction in the distance Conviction shaken to the core (Seagulls murmuring in the distance) Rooms are hollowed out by silence Echos of a yearning past Alone in the wreckage Forlorn in the wreckage Stained by the past Tender tattoos of regret Indelibly scarred by memories Time eroding permanence (Sparkling sunlight on the water) Quiet gliding on the surface Drawing closer to the precipice Nails scattered all around Shattered river of glass (Trees are moaning in the breeze) Losing sight of the harbor As I founder in the abyss (Dive, dive) In a corner Of the psyche Lives a demon Hungry, scheming Undermining It is feeding On the restlessness In a corner Of the psyche Lives a demon Cunning, stinging Compromising It devours All my emptiness

Faith in You 07:04
In a field of sunflowers on a warm summer day You took my hand and I gave you my heart You promised your fidelity And we'd never be apart Love I thought was true Fading to gray I see my faith in you Slipping away You’re always out late And up before dawn I find your cold coffee cup After you're gone Canopy of starlight On that weekend away Close by the fire I felt the distance of your desire Dusted off the photos Of our wedding day I see your eyes were miles away It gently crushes me To see pictures of my happiest day Eyes I thought were blue Fading to gray I see my faith in you Slipping away

Reeling 05:33
One night you lose your temper You say you’ve met someone And in a frozen heartbeat Our life has come undone You look relieved and righteous In shock I’m paralyzed You walk away unburdened Unfettered by your lies The ground is opening beneath my feet There are no hands to grab me Spark ignites as I fall to my knees Watch the world as it’s burning down I thought you took it all And then you took some more Close friends are pleasant strangers I see them keeping score You think that I’m to blame and You’re not the only one The isolation thickens Betrayed by everyone (But I still love you, please don’t leave me) The ground is opening beneath my feet (I’m reeling) I’ve got no friends to guide me Sift the cinders And look for some wings So that I can be born again Everyone wants to give advice But no one wants to listen Everyone thinks they know what’s right And no one wants to hear your point of view Shadows of family portraits Blank spaces on the walls I lost a mother, father Looks like I lost it all

Come Back 05:35
When I came back Things would be different When I came back I'd be there for you When I came back All would be forgiven But when I came back You were already gone It's a long way home ‘Cause I can't see to drive And you wave goodbye With the planes in the sky When I came back You’d know I loved you When I came back You’d understand When I came back We’d find a better place But when I came back You had already gone

Open my eyes to the daybreak Body is numb and too heavy to move Paralyzed by the heartache And the panic of days bereft of everyone Mired in disgrace Condemnation on everyone’s face Heat in my skin Isolated by scandalous grins Gasping for breath Suffocated by echoes of love Perpetual freefall, never landing No one to catch me, only pulling me down In the war for peace you’re the last one standing And I’m falling through seven shades of hell Shallow exchange The expressions say everything’s changed Glance of contempt Contemplating my rightful descent Can’t catch my breath Suffocated by shrouds of hate

Arrhythmia 06:18
Why you Depraved and righteous You think you’re a god That’s what the signs said You’ve got a halo around your head Why you Inamorato The strain of secrecy etched on your face Flicker of a doubt Shadow of coal Treachery unleashed When you lost control Why me Why the torment There's a sorcerer at the drawing board It’s a trap and I can't go back Why me Debased, forsaken Doomed to spiral toward the dark abyss You pulled away I took the blame Humiliation Paralyzing shame I cry From the pain that's in my heart (Because I know) And the pain that's yet to come (Before I go) From pain I'll come undone Angel in the shadows Or demon in the light Pull back for sound Listen to your heartbeat Why you Why the treachery I hate you for wanting something new A better lover, a different view Why me Why the anguish All my dreams are steeped in misery Cards stacked against me Always in your debt You have an alibi And your own diplomat

Ember 04:09
Such a pleasant Sunny afternoon The flowers not yet bloomed I caught a pleasant scent (hint of scent) That wasn't my perfume And I felt you Crawl beneath my skin I should not have let you in (You) slithered into my heart And you shed your skin Then I saw you Slip between the scenes Busy with your schemes Deft with sleight of hand Appealing to my dreams And the best landscapes Are with you not in the scene My favorite places Are where you've never been Now I hear you Mendacious from the start An actor playing a part (With) nectar in your words And winter in your heart Now it's over Bitter in my throat All the memories make me choke Caustic love was the spark With acrid smoke Your last season Will find you on your own So desperate and alone Surrounded deep and dark In bleakness you have sown And the best landscapes Are with you not in the scene My favorite places Are where you've never been And now my favorite perfume Is gasoline I drench the landscape Erase you from the scene

about

This album is the story of the dissolution of a relationship from one person's perspective. The songs are meant to be heard in the given order because they transition from one to the next, both musically and lyrically.
