1.	All Your Life 02:47	lyrics
All your life you've burned to win but when you write you cant begin you know theres a key cuz you studied the lock i don't disagree i just guilded this spot all your life new pathways in the familiar has changed again the moment the forest inferring the trees the play can begin with surprising ease
2.	Magic Man 01:10	lyrics
come then magic man bend the sand proudly goals from faraway i hear what you say loudly the message is old but then something new unfolds from your soul
3.	TV 03:15	lyrics
put them on tv that's what they want to be that is all they know to see partially a joke your egos like a moat sinking every boat you float i remember you from five years back we were shy back then now time has passed we can try again love is gone ice water all is one flyswatter can you help me read the writing in the dream the sympathetic stringing along is that wrong? does it sound wrong?
4.	The Natural Scene 05:20	lyrics
The natural scene naturally behind the scene government see operator begin to listen closely to the glowings revolving at a glace the distance between us the illusion of the past freedom downstream all my good deeds yes they go downstream limelight lives in a dream then it goes dancing downstream were going downstream starting to leave our body you're my buddy (following lyrics written by crass '12 notes on a summers day) touch me with normality a childhood i never had i too stood there aryan in the seeding grasses applauded by the bigots who sneered at the sights of aryan we were invited to the cocktail party and suffered a loathsome toast we sampled the melancholy of the socialite
5.	Kite 03:08	lyrics
i am like a kite that has lost its string watch me fly at night gentle morning rain sometimes in the air sometimes i am not i am like a cat that you like a lot hallways of doors many many doors
6.	Middling 02:01	lyrics
the middling mid tempo bands are eating each other the mascarade delineates two birds from a feather two truths don't make a like woah, that's survival the casual softball career has become a monster killing all the free time that we could spend together lets come up with a truce woah, that's survival keep your eye on the ball make it large make it small ball floating through the air i don't know how not to care i see fingerlings birds of long forgotten springtime blossoms
7.	Jasper 02:05	lyrics
jaspers gone but i hear his song don't be long jasper ever change your point of view it could do a lot to you but first you've got to choose jasper moving too la but i might not stay but i know that that's okay jasper i really hope that's ok jasper
8.	Sideways song 02:11	lyrics
woah, side ways song tap along if you can keep up woah sideways song keep that hat on and try not to fuck up
9.	Little Bird 06:00	info
10.	1-3-5 02:03	lyrics
135 is alive in my mind triangle on the edge of a cube major chord minor chord tetra chord 135
11.	Chalemeaux 02:00	lyrics
im like you im that attitude ask me who im whatever you want me to be im everything i am nothing that's not true i can smell it on you chalemeaux teach me everything do re ra me all the light touches you read chalemeaux
12.	Citidel 04:32	lyrics
i can tell the eyes are still watching me everything i do on a screen for them maybe in their own ways they're mocking me throw me in a cage and left me for dead captive to the will of the citadel my instructions sewn to the tablecloth shadow forms that then do accumulate are present here inside of the table graph captive to the will of the citadel

No stranger to the Berkshire Mountains, Omeed Goodarzi comes at it in full on send it mode, with this yester-Moro-mobile of an album….

“Keep your eyes on the ball. Make it large make it small.”
“Floating through the air, I don’t know how not to sing.”

Loaded to the hilt with hard hitting session folk, Omeed’s latest offering is a roiling boiling psychedelic Partch-pop Beatleboro-Freel-Volk masterpiece from the second anyone’s flip flop even threatens to drive a rhythm into the rug.

Upon arrival to the studio, Chris Weisman, Mia Friedman, Max Goldstein, Nick Bisceglia and Ruth Garbus were presented with the chord charts to Omeed’s carefully crafted songs, that would forever after ferment themselves into the being now known as “Pickled Dawn,” by Omeed and the Natural Scene. With these chord charts as a field guide, along with real time “in the room together” eye winks, head bops and live energetic exchange, the “record” button was mashed, and the deep tradition of improvisation within a predetermined structure allowed for this beautifully organized yet caterwauling collection of recordings to come into being.
As the rainbow is often presented in a hyper compartmentalized, organizational system, this music also has its structure. Through this structure lies infinite combinations of relationships between all of the ordered files.
‘Pickled Dawn’s’ twilight glow comes not from the individual players themselves, but the place where the players yield to the absence of one another. Blending, bowing, dancing, stretching, like fistfuls of taffy on a warm spring day.
There is great restraint performed here, yet we are not spared the wild irreverence of art that leans into and breaks down the doors of what is practical. Parcing out what is needed, what is wanted, and what is sometimes unnecessarily necessary. Proudly displaying the elephant in the room for all to see and hear and concern themselves with. Conjuring at times the likes of once local weirdos such as the deeply freaky Billy Wizard and the B. Toff Family Band, Putney’s constantly explorative Tiny Monsters, the whimsical mischief making of Wendy Watson’s wacky yet agrarian comictopia, or the urgent, timely and incessant political mythos of Toussaint St. Negritude.

What’s born here is something imaginable, something solidly adrift, conjured anew with each continued listen. Mellowed, yet intensified by the passing of time, the charged influence of those involved, and the cyclical form of nature. A preservation of the past. A soothing balm for the unforeseeable, but always challenging future.
What may initially seem occult or hidden, will reveal itself with outstretched arms. Lean back, make the plunge into this exciting sonic universe.
Ferment! Fervent! This cloud will bear your weight.

Play loud at 33 or 45 rpm.

All songs written by Omeed Goodarzi (save for a brief lyrical lift from Crass)

Recorded live in Putney Vermont the summer of 2019 right as Chris Weisman and Omeed were working on Chris’ album ‘Romantics.’

– Daniel Beckman, 2021

“Beyond the skyline, across the galaxy, a fermented sun sets on Omeed & The Natural Scene's Pickled Dawn. An album of abstract and cataclysmic beauty, looming heavily on the horizon (as is relative to these modern times), one need only reflect on themselves before entering. Forests, flora, fauna, songs of rock and stone, oceanic wonder - humans. A place where mother earth and father time meet to discuss the finite/ infinite, and our expanded existences; this is where we are residing.

Pickled Dawn sits in a sonically organic space of elemental folk, jazz, & the avant-garde. One might envision a Phosphorescent performance of Syd Barrett songs arranged by Sun Ra. Guitar-driven lushness offers the listener guidance, as inventive & intriguing harmonies navigate the greater audial journey. These vocals and violins explore and blaze the lavish territory around and betwixt the Western 12 note system; blue note and near-note polyphony creates uniquely profound and resonant frequencies, the likes of which are singular to this music. Ecologically friendly rhythms - bass and drums - swing like pendulums, orbiting the center of their relative systems, full of character-driven honesty. There is a refreshing gesture towards humanism here - a welcome offering of reality's depths in a world of grids and metrics.

'The casual softball career has become a monster, killing all the free time that we could spend together'

On the far side of the broader climate and orchestration, each track individually unpacks a great deal of its own accord - repeated listens may be recommended in order to truly digest the expanse of the compositions. This is a peak mood of calm, calculated experimentalism; a rendezvous for the planning and the wandering. Perhaps, most importantly, there is an underlying sense of optimism coursing throughout. This sanctuary in the tempest offers enough daring hope to make it through another day, and is likely something many might benefit from in our specific moment. This is a welcome mood, and all in all, a truly dazzling gem of a record - muchos gracias & congratulations to Omeed & The Natural Scene for Pickled Dawn.”
