Mirage on the Meadow

Mirage on the Meadow is the sophomore LP from Philadelphia-based indie/psych-rock outfit, Pine Barons.

Quote from Keith: "At the time, I was doing a lot of lyrical experiments like dada, language translations, and rorschach-like picture slideshows. I was skimming through some poetry books to get myself into a lyrical mindset, when after reading Sylvia Plath's Lady Lazarus I was then led to Ted Hughes’ To Paint A Water Lily and so, because the two poets had been married in real life, it led me to the idea of marrying their poems by cutting out each of the words from the pages of the two poems and scattering them on the floor — at first just picking out words without thinking and assembling them at random, then, as it always goes with dada, it starts making complete sense and a subconscious idea begins to crystalize in the chaos."
