Recorded in summer 2016 (I think). A different version to that which I made as a bonus for people who pre-ordered Arx Pilosa.

lyrics

The Pogonip formation in Death Valley has a basal unit made of dolomite
and a middle unit of a reddish limy shale and sandstone including trash beds
containing abundant gastropod fossils.

Nearby is a less mundane formation, doesn't get much human visitation
and clearly could not have occurred by natural process
with a manifest aspect of extraterrestrialness:
an entire mountain range has been sculpted
into titanic crouching canine figures
each with a starry pschent of unknown constellations.

Distinguishing characteristics of gravels depends in part upon the kind of rocks from which they were derived
which could partly explain the unlikely behaviour
of gravels which have been derived
from erosion of those mountains which have been

carved into titan canine figures each with a starry pschent of unknown constellations.

They've volcanic vents for noses, so every ten thousand years or so
they puffs, smokes, and glowses.

Rare upper-atmosphere events
like noctollucent clouds and haloes aren't uncommon there
and the rock from which they're hewn has been found on the moon
but nowhere else upon the Earth
it's exclusively found in those mountains which have been

carved into titan canine figures
each with a starry pschent of unknown constellations.
those titanic crouching canine figures
each with a starry pschent of unknown constellations.
They've volcanic vents for noses, so every ten thousand years or so
they puffs, smokes, and glowses.
