Lay Low 04:46
Let’s just lay low And watch the fires burn All the while, laugh and cry It’s so hard to say goodbye It’s only today We have tomorrow Living in the moment now Forever with you anyhow And if we believe There is a destiny We live our life between dreams We watch you fade A little every day Think of not so long ago We learned we had to let you go All the hope All the peace All the people And if we just believe There is a destiny Anything can be a possibility When all are finally free When all the pain recedes We live our life between dreams Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved

Alone 04:38
Midnight Summertime Moon light Sunshine Autumn leaves Will fall Twilight And dawn Winter days Light is gone ‘Til spring Rains come Oh, you need to know Know you’re not alone You said no You’re not alone Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved
3.
Pay No Mind 04:05
We were born In light From stars Bound to burn, fade, and rust What goes up Comes down Brilliant sun Bound to burn Turned to dust Pay no mind If I could make it stop Maybe try again Bet I’d do the same You can take my face Hang it on your wall In an empty frame Pay no mind Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved
4.
Frost 04:07
All of the words All of the days All of the fears All fade away So far away The moment has passed Only an hour ‘til daylight Alone on New Year’s Day Old love, don’t hide Don’t turn away Oh, lonely night Old love can’t stay So far away No looking back Softly fall to collapse Alone on New Year’s Day So far away The moment has passed Only an hour ‘til daylight Alone on New Year’s Day Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved

This Year 06:02
The writing on the wall Tales of wearing thin Flash of consequence Afraid to lose it all Are you here? Can you hear me? Are you listening? Am I alone? This year Promise, I’ll do better This year Honest, I can change Harder days will come Wind is gonna blow And the air is getting cold Like winter Got a prayer? You’d better use it In the cold, cold night You’re on your own This year Promise, I’ll do better This year Honest, I can change This year Promise, I’ll do better Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved
6.
Coming Down 05:54
Coming down I’m coming down Watch me fall Been around Lonesome town Far too long There I go Weary and tired eyes I was meant To ride the breeze In the end I only wanted to be someone Who could stand tall as trees When I walk I wanna make a big sound When I fall, gracefully In the end I only wanted to be someone Who could stand tall as trees When I walk I wanna make a big sound When I fall, gracefully I fall gracefully Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved

Melody 04:34
Is it true what they’ve been saying? You’re not singing anymore When I heard the news It nearly broke my heart As a child they always told you You can live all of your dreams But, never told you when Or, even how The sun don’t shine the way it used to You’re not smiling like before The words you use are short and to the point You hide when you’ve been drinking Your eyes are always closed I miss the days we laughed until we cried Melody You left and you forgot to say goodbye Melody I’ll always be there Waiting for a song It’s true you left me stranded When the snow began to fall And, it fills you with regret and bitter shame So, if you leave, I’ll understand it Though it hurts to see you go Remember me as beautiful and free Melody You left and you forgot to say goodbye Melody I’ll always be there Waiting for a song Your song Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved

Empty Sky 03:38
Feel it in the air Feel it in my bones Live without a care On the open road And if everything changes And the world is falling apart Head westbound to sunset Maybe we can have a fresh start And if we climb too high I’ll be there next to you Oh, the places we will go Underneath a blanket of the stars Empty Sky Unconditional love is all I know Metaphysical presence from above Yeah, nothing’s gonna change it You’ll always be in my heart Yeah, you can live forever You can have your spot in the sun When the night is long And when the day is through Oh, the places we will go Underneath the bright and beautiful Empty sky Music and Lyrics: Dustin Tessier © 2018 Timbre Ghost All Rights Reserved

about

ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
You're not alone. This is the fundamental truth that pervades Life, Death, & Disintegration.

Fitting then, that the album sees songwriter Dustin Tessier joined by a cast of musicians from across the Minnesota scene, including Chris Bierden of Poliça, Alan Sparhawk of Low, Mary Bue, Al Church, Joe Gamble, & Wayne Sayres.

At its core, this album is about seeking connections with people, but it’s also about the times in life when those connections seem impossible—when every thought is both a calculation of distance between oneself and others and an admission of failure to bridge the gap.
Musically, Life, Death, & Disintegration represents a further refinement of the Americana-influenced rock sound of Timbre Ghost’s first EP, The Ledger. The album flows smoothly, augmented by psychedelic interludes that tie the songs together thematically.

As with the earlier EP, Tessier sings and plays nearly all instruments, with Bierden laying down bass tracks for every song, and guests handling backup vocals, piano, and saxophone.

Recorded and mixed by Neil Weir at Blue Bell Knoll Studios, and mastered at Microphonic by Bruce Templeton, the album is perfectly suited to the LP format.

ABOUT TIMBRE GHOST:
Timbre Ghost is the musical art written, performed, and produced by Dustin Tessier. It is the culmination of years of winding thoughts and experiences into songs for the heavy-hearted, the joyful, and the content.
