lyrics
Let out the ghost from his haunt.
There is a sighing that chills me quite to the bone.
The branches of this tree groan with the weight of his memories.
Oh the Elder Tree,
Break its branches and cleave its heart in two.
Oh the Elder Tree,
There is spirit that wishes to break free.
It happened long, long ago
Before our dreams were old.
Trudging through deep winter snow,
a man who was almost a child.
He'd fathered a babe born cold
With a girl who lived by the lake.
She had been forced out from her home
But he had not known til too late.
His heavy love died where she lay.
Her breath was turned to ice.
So with a heart so cold it burned,
he vowed her father would pay the price.
Through and though, with the axe kept outside for fire wood.
Blood ran thick and steam rose up from the corpse.
With blood that froze to his hands
He ran down to the lake.
But the ice there was so thick
Though he tried it would not break.
Into the thicket he ran, more pained with every breath.
With the belt tied at his waist
In the arms of this tree he'd find rest.
He swung high on that tree that never bore fruit again.
The sap is poison to touch and the wind it rattles her name.
The wind it rattles her name.
Stunning! There’s something so timeless and sublime about your music…so glad I discovered your sounds, your music is frequently the soundtrack to my day/eve and brings so much inspiration. Thank you! :) kathey
I'm so glad these people exist to continue the tradition of psychedelic music without ruining everything with reverb vocals as most neopsychedelia musicians do. dereidechs

With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
Strangely familiar, like a dream or distorted memory where all the streets are in the wrong place. It is a surprising musical landscape full of twists, like a funhouse maze. Melodic and experimental. Sinister Pete
