about

The Vancouver Sun: "It says something about the mood you wish to conjure with a recording when the opening number is also the longest on the album. Clocking in just under 11 minutes, Stand Down Olympus is full of room for every note to drop into the song and then veer off into the void. The interplay of the guitars has moments of Pink Floyd-style psychedelia as well as the sundazed twang of groups like the Rain Parade and Giant Sand. But the vocal is pure, from-the-gut rock. As his voice builds from a whisper to a plaintive, quavering howl, Malowany sounds almost like he’s chanting the lyrics to get into a trance. By the end of the track, you may be in one."

lyrics

Stand down Olympus
Stand down my good man
You are not my master

Stand down Olympus
You shout out your lungs
Stand down Olympus
This is no longer fun

Stand down Olympus
I need you to hear
Stand down Olympus
Stop spreading your fear

Stand down Olympus
I found out your lies
Stand down Olympus
Stop spreading your doubt

The time has come
For you to be a man
The time has come
What you gonna read about?
Harness your fears

Stand down Olympus
You are no longer a man
Stand down Olympus
You shall never take my land
