SYSTEM OF LOVE the world is filled with sand and stone a system of love with the power of green curved by my thoughts alone the morning sun is my limousine that takes you to the forest fires the lake inside of you desires cause we’re down in the desert concealed in the radium glow of the afternoon rains Our system of love is a stereo field when our eyes choose to meet on alluvial plains that take you to the forest fires the lake inside of you desires when the side of our planet is high our system of love is the radical real curved by my thoughts alone the coming eclipse is the thing that we feel the lake inside of you desires the lake inside of you and your desires inside the system system of love inside the system the sister of love

Science Moon 04:01
SCIENCE MOON There’s a changing weather pattern coming soon Will we ever learn the science of the moon? And we’re chasing phantoms cross the canyon floor And we never knew that folks were here before What the day disguises Nighttime’s prize is And we must consult the compass in the shed Or better yet the gyroscope instead In the turning of the wheel I’m sure we’ll know That here is still the perfect place to go What the day disguises Nighttime’s prize is And we’ll watch the morning sun begin to spark In a spot where old explorers made their mark And we’ll think about the changes coming soon In the signs and science of the moon In the signs and science of the moon

Easy Prey 03:44
EASY PREY Touching Is embodied In the body Of a deep cave I am Just a lover Who is lower Than the flooded plain An easy prey To passion Designation Coming soon All my feelings gather In the cycles of The sixteenth moon I am one Who wanders Summoned lonesome towards The moist and mineral world One who wanders the land In her dark cause Just because she can Just because June because she can Just because she cannot feel your understanding

about

Following on the runaway success of the Kickstarter-funded double-CD reissue The A&M Years, The Swimming Pool Q’s release The System of Love EP – a set of three shimmering tracks that preview the group’s next full length album to be released in 2014 and the first new Q’s material since 2003’s critically acclaimed Royal Academy of Reality.

The System of Love EP includes the title track, a slinky schematic featuring the atmospheric guitar work of Bob Elsey; “Science Moon”, in which we might glimpse the future through the large end of an ancient telescope; and “Easy Prey”, which brings Anne Richmond Boston’s vocals to the fore in a contemplative setting reminiscent of the group’s deepest cuts.

As a collection, the System of Love EP expands on the evocative territory where we last found the group,while embracing a thoroughly modern and direct approach. Longtime fans will appreciate these stunning songs as the evolutionary work of a band in full, while new audiences will discover an utterly singular sound to place among their favorite rock and atmospheric bands.

In addition to new singles "System of Love", "Science Moon", and "Easy Prey", the EP also contains an exclusive – a live New Year's Eve 1987 recording of “Wreck Around”, from Atlanta's Buckhead Cinema & Drafthouse (the Buckhead Theatre today). Each of the singles is available for individual purchase, and the live track is exclusive to the EP.
