"There's always a feeling you're listening to something different, something knowingly funny, and something very very special.
Thomas Truax is a unique performer, and already justly appreciated as a treasure live. Sonic Dreamer may just have the wit, invention and accessibility to be the album that garners him that same recognition as a recording artist." -Drowned In Sound

lyrics

Emergency landing, uncharted island
Can you believe what the captain said
"Keep your heads on little chickens keep your heads on
No one in my party's gonna end up dead"

But we look so white against the black of night
And we wear our shaking nerves like jackets of fright
Can you hear that rhythm as they beat their bones
And we've got no reception on our mobile phones

Luke is peelin' off a leech and countin' his luck
But if we stand here in the sand we are surely sitting ducks
Look over there from where the smoke is issuin'
He says it may be human but it smells like chicken

The trees are all aflutter with the fireflies
But the way they move together may be human eyes
But we've got to go in because they've got our woman
The cannibals have kidnapped our Nicole Kidman

"Thomas Truax crafts rich, poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, and a lifelong obsession with all things lunar.
