Ye Poor & Maimed Hey little one one day you will be old & I will be gone gone gone With death all around All my autumn branches, they are dragging on the ground So come consider your tongue Laying loose in your mouth, oh & cursing all the young Ye poor & maimed Halt & blind, if you thirst & happy you would be Say these eyes are blind You can drink your water & true valiance you'll find Then just like the birds All flown from their branches oh & skyward I am bund Then come & steady your nerves On this cask of opiated wine wine wine And hey little one soon this life is over & another one begun Hey little one one day you will be old & I will be gone gone gone

Sound of the Sea Come make the sound of the sea With your breathing next to me There's house martins under the eves You can have your own key To the door if you please & All that that means She said you better come unto me For I am a shepherdess And you are a wolf With barbarous needs Sometimes I'm just like a robin In the northerly winds Poor thing Hiding with my head under my arms Like it were a wing Broken in two pieces All broken in to pieces Poor thing

The Hawthorn & Blackthorn The Hawthorn has pricked me To my bare Baines Oh-o weep for me Oh-o weep for the Hawthorn tree & the Blackthorn too It cuts at me 'Til my blood shows through Oh-o weep for me Oh-o weep for the Blackthorn tree

Blackbird 13:02
Blackbird I tried to measure A Blackbird's intentions With thoughts & inventions Heartfelt intuitions But that was no way To make observations Which leaves incomplete And just speculation So I viewed it's agency & it saw me looking At it on its own branch With all its divergences It knows no glory Nor I only stories So the Blackbird leaves me Alone with my singing o Where do I end & the Blackbird begin & the tree where she sits & the notes that she sings They fall on my ears & in the air I breathe them in 'Til our atoms exchange & Together we will be

about

Map Recordings are proud to announce the forthcoming release of 'Ye Poor & Maimed' a new album by UK psych-folk/post-rock duo The Diamond Family Archive. A first run limited edition of 250, on vinyl only, 'Ye Poor & Maimed' draws influence from a diverse range of musical history (Spiritualized, Cyril Tawney and John Mayall to name but a few) and explores aspects of post-rock, folk, spiritual soul music and experimental electronics. The recordings are enriched with tape delays, valves, analogue keyboards and the natural acoustics of old and loved instruments. Written, recorded and produced by the band in their shed studio, the tracks have lives of their own; shifting time signature, mood and dynamic like the seasons.

Each sleeve is hand-made and features a debossed catalogue number, booklet, ephemera and a download code granting the full digital album and also an exclusive live session.
