InfluencesTemperature, humidity, windspeed, barometric pressure.
Heartache, carousels, far off cities, perfectly cut bangs.
Electric piano bedrooms, guitar chasms, mellotron meadows, autoharp parlors.

But really it's always been about girls who love cats. And the notion that the act of sex is to hearts what death is to zombies.

Sounds LikeThat thunder and crackle in your ears when you yawn. Quiet, then loud, and some quiet again for good measure.

We want to sound both as big and small as five or six people can in the space of one hour or less.

Also, someone told us once that we sound like Björk. This is silly because we are neither Icelandic nor pixyish. MySpace Maps Visit Our Sponsor
Record LabelNot that we know of.

"Tonight, it's a promising 6-piece collective called Manos de Plata whose sound weaves chamber pop with subtle, psych-tinged threads and occasionally descends into full-tilt, Radiohead-channeling rock. "
- Hannah Levin, Seattle Weekly

haha, thanks so much for the compliments!  Actually Behold is the first song I wrote for this band and it is still one of my favorite to play live.

We have some vague plans of trying to go all the way out west next summer.  I'll definitely get in touch once we start to have that all figured out.

under the stars
just gaze and listen..

the silence is loud
as the moon light
glistens

you feel the peace
hear a whisper
not the wind
your intuition..

you feel the goodness
deep down your soul..

God gave you the stars
to rock and roll

so every night
under one bright
star
say a blessing
be thankful
who you are.

The book streams down the mountain,
breaks upon the rocks,
sentences splinter,
syllables mist the air.
I didn’t know at first where to start,
as I stumbled and fell along the path;
but then I found ‘em,
all of my feelings,
all of my memories
all that I am…mingled together,
living in the pools and small ponds
developed along the banks by fallen trees.
As the fragmented sentences sedimented to the bottom,
something breeds in the muck,
swimming about the memory banks.
I don’t know if they have existed like that for years,
or just evolved over the last few hours.

I dipped my cupped hands into the pool,
and touched the memories to my lips;
the cool moistness was enough to quench my thirst;
regardless, I drank all that I could swallow.
My innermost life rushes louder, teeming over the rocks.
The volumes scatter the mucky floor.
The stones wake
and all start conversing at once,
of lands and roads traveled,
of paintings, songs, and poems,
of memories,
of women found and lost,
of the spirit.
The spirit,
that is what has been forgotten.

To master the parts of speech we call spirit,
one must dedicate a life.
