Know Your Ghosts E​.​P.

by Tadpoles

/
1.
I used to see the truth inside of what you said 
Instead of thinking you're a kid 
But those days seem so far away 
I can only vaguely remember High tides, low tides come and gone
 Two more mooncalves torn asunder 
Save me a whistle in eighteen years 
Or don't; its all the same to me Know your ghosts and you will never be alone 
Never be alone never be alone
 Know your ghosts Know your ghosts and you will never be alone 
Never be alone never be alone 
Know your ghosts
2.
Judas 
This Is Jesus 
It's raining silver 
Help me
3.
daffodilly petals are in bloom 
the moment you walk into the room 
and each time that i ask you to come in 
your head puts my head into a spin 
reaching unknown destinations tonight 
ride with me i'll take you out of sight 
confusion rules where once was sane 
patterns in my brain spell out your name t
his could be coming just in time 
love you so much it blows my mind 
ride with me i'll take you out of sight
4.
Look at you asleep so fine 
Oops, I lost your mind 
Colours sounding so sublime 
Oops, I lost your mind 
Open wide just one more time 
Oops, I lost your mind 
Feeling this way is no crime Oops, I lost your mind

about

Know Your Ghosts E.P. (1997) is a 4-song E.P. released on CD by Tadpoles. Upon original release, Bakery Records included a VHS copy of Tadpoles' music video for the song "Snapper" with all mail-orders. The video version of the song "Snapper" was included on the E.P. and was recorded in 1991 by Todd Parker and drummer, Michael Kite Audino. "Judas, This Is Jesus" is a remake of the Tadpoles' track originally released on the 1989 cassette-only album, Beautiful Music For Ugly Children and was recorded and produced by Mark Kramer (Shimmy Disc) at Noise New Jersey studio. "Know Your Ghosts" is the same recording that appears on the Smoke Ghost album. Tadpoles covered the Tony Mentzer song "Oops, I Lost Your MInd" previously on 1990's cassette-only album William's Doll (album). Tadpoles remade the tune again here with Tony Mentzer himself on lead vocals and The Waitresses' Chris Butler guest-drumming.

“Instead of giving into mere aural saturation and rhythm there is enough of a weird melody to each track to make the EP as listenable as Syd Barret-era Pink Floyd” –OUTSIGHT (www.rocklove.com, 1997)
“This Kramer produced EP sounds inspired by Mercury Rev. Not exactly new, but not bad at all, in a retro 90s manner” –INK 19 (March 19, 1998)
“There are all sorts of subtle goodies at work here, fusing airtight musicianship into a mind-blast that never takes itself too seriously...something for every psychedelic need.” –EYE (#13, 1998)
“They give you a taste of their unique brand of fuzzy psychedelia.” –FACTSHEET 5 (#53, 1998)
