Drive 04:54 video
DRIVE Your fast car Is painted midnight black And the noise we hear Is you dancing in the back Wherever we go The future is never near Forward is all that counts I see you in the mirror Drive... leather gloves on the wheel You race me I love you I dont know how And the noise we hear The demons case you now Drive... leather gloves in the wheel (the driver is you) ~ music+lyrics: Jeff Gallea/Eleven Pond

Headlock 04:06
HEADLOCK Pushed beyond our limit Held by the wind Forced to walk on fire This is when we shine Pushed beyond control Held down by love Forced to walk on fire This is when we shine Headlock Arm around my head with force Hold my breath I wait for black ~ music+lyrics: Jeff Gallea/Eleven Pond

Take this kiss upon the brow And, in parting from you now Thus much let me avow You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day In a vision, or in none Is it therefore less gone All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand How few yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep While I weep while I weep O God can I grasp Them with a tighter clasp O God can I not save One from the pitiless wave Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream ~ lyrics: Edgar Allen Poe (1849) ~ music: Jeff Gallea/Eleven Pond

I PRESENT TO THEE A MEMORY, YOUR DISHONESTY YOU FORGOT, MADE ME SWEAR TO LOVE ONLY YOU, AND YOU LOVE ME DO I SEE, MY EYES DECIEVE TANGERINE, THE LIE YOU WEAVE IN HIS ARMS, THE BACK TO ME I FOUND YOU, CAN YOU SEE ME? IN YOUR ARMS I WANT TO BE IN YOUR ARMS THE TANGERINE ~ music+lyrics: Jeff Gallea/Eleven Pond

about

CD w/PayPal available here: Kunaki.com/Sales.asp?PID=PX00ZYYAO4&PP=1

DRIVE // past Eleven Pond albums were named after sculpture genres, this one is not. the ‘Drive’ title comes from an obsession with vehicles and the freedoms, experiences or excitement they brings via sports car, truck, motorcycle, scooter, race bike , stunt jet, submarine, etc… but it also has to do with a drive to find love, something much harder to acquire than fast objects.

credits

released April 21, 2019

Jeff Gallea ~ vocals, synths, drum programs, bass+electric guitar, melodica
Garey Spider ~ electronic drums on Black Keys
Asa Fox ~ additional analog synths on So Far Away + Dream Within A Dream

DRIVE "you’re racing on the highway at night, your thought process goes into hyperdrive and the only thing that exists are the cars in front of you, what’s behind you doesn’t matter. when the engine is revving at max the person sitting next to you becomes the most attractive thing in your universe"

HEADLOCK "if someone you love deeply asks you to walk on hot coals (to do something terrible) and then you go do it, you are not in control anymore. your will is now the victim to the winds of destruction. your heart is in a headlock… until your heart is broken, then the headlock spell ends"

SO FAR AWAY "based on a control voltage analog synth jam between Asa Fox and Jeff Gallea, this long-form song weaves in and out of moods. You’re So Far Away is about the person who is standing by your side physically, but mentally running away from you as fast as they can"

MISS WONDERFUL "there are these completely free people who run around the globe living four or five lives compared to the single life normal people live... they look good in anything they wear, they drink all night and run marathons the next day, if they go to an event everyone wants to be near them, they have no bad camera angles, they never have to work because money magically appears. these are the blessed few and many fools are obsessed to be graced by their presence"

VENUS IN SHELLS "recorded to on a Black Pond/Beta Evers cover version of the Velvet Underground’s 'Venus In Furs'. Venus rises from her sea shell as melodica drips with sadness and falsetto angels cry in the background. the song is about bondage, discipline, dominance & submission. hands down the best cover version of this 1967 classic ever recorded" ;)

BLACK KEYS "the black key is the person who is out of tune with the rest of the world. two black keys mated are the rarest but most powerful form of dark romance. the song was written in 2012 but the original tracks grew wings and flew away so a live version went on the Love+Madness EP. Out of respect to the song a proper studio version was re-recorded"

A DREAM WITH A DREAM "Edgar Allan Poe’s 1849 poem questions the nature of reality and human existence. perceptions might not be what they seam to be. do we control what we see in the world? or is life nothing but a dream within a divine dream?"

TANGERINE "sung in a voice on the verge of tears, you are given a choice... be lied to then plucked from the fruit tree with the rest of the victims? or stand up for your love and call that person out? if you choose the second option, be prepared to taste sweet drama"

WHEN SHE ASKS FOR MORE "this song was made from a vocal and guitar part recorded to cassette in 1989. the poem is about a sexually insatiable person. new tracks were added but no matter how the song was mixed the vocals could never really be deciphered. there is no existing lyric sheet so the words can be what you imagine"
