1933 That Radio-Flyer that I’d had my heart set on Is now little more than just another thing that I’ve refused to left go of. But I’ll live and breath by the hand of my childhood, not anymore. On Earth, there’s sentient shadows giving hope; I’ve watched the topsoil-iest of all the hayseeds watch their False sun rise, and then explode. Now I’m aching to feed from the hands of my lover; That ghastly and now ghostly god who brought me life so long ago. How like the lazy blood of love to refuse to see the comic denouement. On Earth, the sentient shadows march in throngs, I used to call them Satan until scientism made that wrong. And left me riding all alone. On Earth there’s something awful’s taken hold. It took my friends down to Assholetown and left me riding all alone, Na Na Na Na Nananana, Na Na Na Na.

Move On! 04:37
Looking on as the planet fauns over its fate today and its fuckin’ great how if you ask it how, it’ll show you how. Looking on as the coming dawn defends on all those men and their awful hands. By now they know its on, and that we’re coming strong. Now I’m looking at all the days that I thought the Earth was doomed, Mornings where I thought the planet wouldn’t make it to the afternoon, And that these days come as no surprise doesn’t make it compatible, doesn’t make it alright. And so to all of you I do explore, For we are coming strong like we never did before For frankly I am done with being doomed And now you get to decide if you wanna stay doomed too. Move On! Looking on as the coming dawn descends on all those men and their awful hands, By now they know its on and that we’re coming strong. Move On!

I’ll never forget the sun of California, The sky and the wind, where my feelings were a friend. We all were there; those days in California.
 We all had fun; Vacationed in the sun. 

I won’t laugh, I won’t play dumb.
 Why aren’t you calling on the phone to come? Everyone will see us apart, And its breaking breaking breaking breaking, Breaking my heart.

 All Summer long, I never wanna see if end [Never see it end}
 All Summer long, I never wanna see it end. I won’t forget Just how we met Played in the sun In love with everyone. I won’t laugh, I won’t play dumb.
 Why aren’t you calling on the phone to come? Everyone will see us apart, And its breaking breaking breaking breaking, Breaking my heart. All Summer long, I never wanna see it end [Never see it end] 
All Summer long, I never wanna see it end.

Thinking of the love I'd found In that thought, I Cried - Woo!

The Wave that came And fixed my brain Has gone, I’ve found my way again And some soon dawn, I’ll be gone But in my place, my love remains Won’t let it fade As we suffer the change into something rich and strange Then on and on, back into the sun I’m going. Go! Noticing how worn and soft the walls around my heart have got I’ve gone and made a friend against my former thoughts and better sense And now I’ve come to dish. Come hear my only wish. May Love find your homes, May your waves stay strange but calm.

To absent friends...

The waves have been braved.
On the other side?
Sizzlin’ summer-time affirmation anthems that f͟u͟c͟k͟.

After spending Spring 2019 in Europe as a touring musician with Moon King, Crying High toured Europe and the UK. After returning to North America, Crying High embarked on a west coast tour with Californian situational art haus group Dingbat Superminx. The tour finished in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in late 2019. Plans to leave Victoria for a 2020 European tour were halted when covid hit, and Kleiser remained on Vancouver Island and began to record Victory.

Victory is songs of triumph.

It Features collaborations with Bridal Party, Nature Walk and Bright Boy.

It is an homage to nourishing time spent in the island city of Victoria while braving the circumstance of being conscious light trapped inside of matter, witnessing history in the earth summer of 2020.
