Seacliff 06:00
Walking down to Baker Beach My mind finally at peace Palm fronds dancing as the wind blows Cocteau Twins in my headphones Five to six, that’s what the time is See the bridge in the distance Sand reeds swaying in a meadow The Pastels in my headphones Why do you still like me? I can be such a nightmare I wish I was a kinder person I wish I was a different person
2.
The Spark 02:47
I’m comfortable now I’ve got everything I want I’m deeply in love And I like my job But the spark is burning out La La La La I’m meditating I don’t read the comments My friends are exquisite And I tried religion
3.
Banshee 04:06
I sailed my first banshee Right here in the 90s And now it’s past midnight Please turn on your flashlight Everything is perfect Everyone’s falling in love Everyone’s together There’s nothing to be afraid of A night swim I dive in I’m not keen on dying Like Keith Moon or Brian I hope you’re still watching
4.
Port Ellen 03:36
Daylight at ten p.m. Harassed by soccer hooligans Gorgeous, lush, untouched landscape Stranded with my best friend In the darkness and the sunshine It’s only you on my mind You’re amazing and understanding You love me even when I hate myself When I’m with you, I’m immortal Even as the world unravels I love everything Everything about you Duck into a hotel so I can use an unguarded telephone Today the buses aren’t running I hope that Carol can save us
5.
Morning 03:44
Good morning No longer underwater Surrounded By stars and ancient ruins Needles, leaves, and everything Sunlight Your head resting on my shoulder
6.
I’ve been so lonesome lately I fear it’s all I will ever know Kissing, laughing, and smiling Joy, terror, unending woe Staring, waiting Moving from room to room Looking out the window When I’m apart from you I feel like I’m nothing more than a shadow Don’t leave me My best ideas emerge at night And deep into the early morning I expose my heart And punish other people for caring Are you irritated By the things that you once found endearing? Are you fearful of What you’ve noticed disappearing?
7.
Oh it’s true I’m in love with you You are my moonlight So glad that we’re alive at the same time I treasure my time with you I hope one day you’ll see yourself As I do Without you, life has no value My world’s askew When I’m not with you I dream about the sunset And seeing the edges of your silhouette Here it comes again Orion shining overhead And I’m haunted You know you’re my only constant Oh my moonlight You are my whole life I’ll be with you forever I’m delighted we’re together
8.
Caldecott 04:29
The beauty I’ve known Oakland aglow The stillness of the bay Halcyon days Watching cars on the bridge Beating hearts on the ridge Overflowing with life Stay with me tonight There’s something new between me and you In the back of your car In the depths of your heart I’m treading water I’m capsizing I remember everything The damp leaves Thrifted graphic tees Silver oak trees

about

***PLEASE NOTE: You Are My Moonlight is scheduled to be released on January 28, 2022***

The vinyl version will be released on Blue Aurora Audio, while the cassette version will be released on Shelflife Records.

Lescure began writing and recording the music for these songs during quarantine - a time where he was unable to gather with the rest of the band or access the rehearsal studio that contained most of his instruments. After a few months of home recording, he was able to access the rehearsal studio but still could not be joined by others. Because this made collaboration much more difficult, Lescure is the sole songwriter and instrumentalist on the recording.

Amelia Lauren, Sophia Campbell, and Ana Ramundo separately recorded vocal contributions that were later added to the mix. Kyle Baudour mixed the album, which was mastered by Simon Scott (of Slowdive). The album art was designed by John Conley.
