Blind 02:18
The world is wearing happiness like a cloak, Bright green painted with colourful flowers, My head is in my hands, I just can't believe, Is that girl smiling at me? Are you colour-blind? Can't you see I'm blue? The sky looks different when you are all alone, It starts to look a lot more like home, I blend perfectly into the sea, Hey you, stop smiling at me. Are you colour-blind? Can't you see I'm blue?

Defrost 01:34
Light came in through my window Melting the icicles off of my face And touching my eyes With open doors and empty parks Trees cast shade and that’s the shard Morning cut herself on As she bleeds through the sky Warmth floods, like an ocean My fingers were blue, Now they’ve turned red With open eyes and empty hearts Hear the roses screaming and Bleeding, crying, open wounds Finally I taste life in the air With closed eyes and filled up heart I find out what it’s like To be breathing again You have brought me back to life

Entropy 04:54
You seem to be on a frequency conflicting Emotions confuse by destructive interference All my well-thought-out communications twisted I can't help but see we've set a bad trajectory Look at me This is entropy Beat by beat your heart does nothing but recycle Ingredients that lead to self-replicating issues Juggling arguments in the carnival of violence I can't help but feel that everything will soon disintegrate Look at me This is entropy When I try to take it over I will become lost In galaxies of rotten conclusions I will be coming down Breaking out of coalition I have become free Of prepossessing confusion I have become me

With bony hands I hold my partner On soulless feet we cross the floor The music stops as if to answer An empty knocking at the door It seems her skin was sweet as mango When last I held her to my breast But now we dance this grim fandango And will four years before we rest

I went against what I thought was God's will I broke my own rule too When I played piano alone with her She danced to my music Lord, it was harmless but my heart chose Something pretty over You A yellow tinfoil balloon She later fell beyond her depth for my friend She thought she'd die if He didn't feel the same way towards her She was so afraid that Lord, you might not grant her what she desperately desired Without hope she couldn't go on She begged me to pray to You I, I no longer fear the worst As Adam's descendants we've survived every kind of heartbreak And I knew she would too Don't fear the worst But put your hope in God Who gives the very best gifts He gives the Rebekkas and Jesses if He considers them Best for His purposes in our lives So I prayed and asked that Lord, if it was Your will, that it would be mutual The very day after I asked You opened up his mouth You, You always give the best You'd never give Your child a scorpion when he'd asked you for an egg So why should I Waste this precious time Waiting like a wicked servant Let's never fear the worst But put our hope in God Who gives the very best gifts Every good and perfect gift comes from above from The Father of the heavenly lights If we who are evil give good gifts to our children How much more will our Father in heaven

Messages 04:02
I have very often gone and done exactly that which I had been Advised not to do, again I'm reaping what I sowed So desperate for words from you, I squeezed and squeezed and Pressurised and finally let my pleas run wild, and Earned again a greater silence Ooh ooh I sent messages Ooh ooh they should never have left my head Ooh ooh these truths can't be forgotten once they're shared Unable to imagine what it's like to hear such things from someone Else who's never had really the chance to see if they are true Oh we never had more than a chapter or indeed the briefest of Prefaces and yet the book has closed with words I wrote Ooh ooh I sent messages Ooh ooh they should never have left my head Ooh ooh maybe oneday I will tame my fingertips Oh I was afraid that the friendship would just dry up Like the sense of humour of a man whose tongue is cut out What indeed is the purpose of communication Other than the bonding of two minds two souls Ooh ooh I sent messages To you ooh ooh

Monsters 03:24
And I saw through the sundaes to the black blood within And I fought through the peace to see the battles raging in The doorways to your souls and the faces behind the masks As the night is falling please come in from the dark Because I saw monsters Feeding monsters And I looked down the hallway to see the lights blinking out And I looked to see you running, there was only time to shout I saw monsters, Greedy monsters There are bullets that would crack your porcelain, shattered on the floor But while there's still some time won't you please come in through the door I saw monsters Bleeding monsters Dying monsters Hungry monsters Disappearing

Sunday Song 01:33
It's Sunday rain, I can tell, it isn't really doing too well It's wondering why it bothered getting out of bed Sleepiness invades my soul, I can feel it take control And I don't really mind at all Everybody run for shelter, dropping down just helter-skelter Drops of slow molasses everywhere If taking time is a great theft, it's leaving no one else bereft Plenty of it to go all around

Sinecure 03:40
There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit The poison of asps is under their lips Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness Their feet are swift to shed blood; Destruction and misery are in their ways; And the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God Before their eyes.

It may be some day That all humans will realise That there's so much more to life That freedom is more than just a word Life to be lived And maybe some day you will love me It's safe to say maybe It may be someday There will be enough food for all of us And maybe people will melt their weapons down into ploughshares And maybe some day you'll notice me here It's safe to say maybe

about

This album we recorded in one week in September 2012. Our music was given something special and fresh, in that Jonan's sister Hannah contributed vocals to most of the tracks. Jonan and Richard also exchanged roles a bit, with Jonan playing piano and Richard guitar in a number of the songs.

For this album we tried to restrict our recordings only to what we could do in real life - if we had two guitars in a song, they had to be played by two different people; if we wanted many vocal layers, many people had to sing. For this reason many of the songs are simpler than songs on our first album.

Due to the eventfulness of life these recordings lived on the shelf for more than a year, waiting for post production and release. Unlike its predecessor, Barefoot in the Snow, this album is unlikely to by made into a physical CD.

about

Refrigerator Club WC, South Africa

It all started with the Dean's yearly week-long trips to Bethany farm. Sometimes the drums would be packed into the car. MP3 player recordings of the jamming sessions would be spliced into alblums. One day, we should be in a real band. Well God blessed us with a year at a studio (and possibly more), so we recorded an album, which contains years' worth of compositions. ... more
