    Horse Head Dawn, a six song EP from Wolverton, with cover art by Chase Babcock. Selected for FolkWorld Best of 2013, Editor's Choice list. Download includes bonus track.

    "For their latest collection Wolverton have become an entire band, giving their songs a rich full sound topped of with some excellent vocals that tie the whole thing together… Exhibiting a creepy Doors-like atmosphere, Pool is a highly effective slice of psychedelia… Over six songs, the quality and atmosphere remains high, great stuff."
    --- Simon Lewis, Ptolemaic Terrascope

    "This is folk music that has that psychedelic sensibility with a sense of space in the vocals and the staggered timing in the guitar notes. There is some distant violin and piano punctuation that creates intriguing atmospheres and tensions, but the lead male vocals and female harmonies lead the way in these six songs…"
    --- David Hintz, DC Rock Live

    The reassuring vibe projected by the subdued vocals, the fragile harmonic nature of the arrangements, and the laid-back sensibility articulated in the plain-spoken songwriting all cohere to make this sweetly dulcet honey one to relish."
    --- Jim Testa, Jersey Beat

lyrics

Ears

if the wrong tree falls in the forest
and there’s nobody there to hear
can you hear yourself barking
will anyone lend an ear

sword asleep lays across a chair
don’t sense the edge of it anywhere
horse head dawn is the outline fair
rock sticking up is the horse’s ear

shadow in a horse shoe canyon
tends to gather at one end
the light falls fine in front and behind

knothole listens in the shape of an ear
it’s a tree but it looks like an ear
bark is gray and the limbs obey
some scheme that only trees can hear

Lestrade with his pride in his pocket
in the story of the lady in green
a curtain falls between two walls
one side real the other a scene
