about

Scotch Howard's first album, Mandara takes us on a journey into waves of psychedelic manifestation, which is the inspiration, emotion, and music that is the ghost of Scotch Howard. Through analog/rhythm synthesis and a search for new direction, the Scotch Howard project was conceived in the north woods, then brought to Los Angeles a year later for its birth into inner-space. Mitra found Scotch recording in the basement of an old sewing factory in downtown Los Angeles, and had he not stepped in and convinced Scotch to be produced there is a good chance that the sound of Scotch Howard would have been kept private. Mitra proved to be a witch doctor of sorts, able to trap the wild ghost of the Scotch Howard sound, and brought that spirit into a solid form. Hugs from Amma, DMT, and courage inspired the rest.

Track Name: hit the wall
so messed up why wern't you ready
waiting for you i passed you up
retrospect does nothing for me
i wish my morals would have held up

LOOK BACK I TRIP AHEAD IS CAUTION
IN PRESENT HAZE I START TO CALL
COMMITMENT FEAR ME TAKE OFF RUNNING
ASHAME STARVATION EATS US ALL

come back my friend confused so willing
who is this man why act so free
looked in your eyes spiders where spinning
how did i let you get to me

LOOK BACK I TRIP AHEAD IS CAUTION
IN PRESENT HAZE I START TO CALL
COMMITMENT FEAR ME TAKE OFF RUNNING
ASHAME STARVATION EATS US ALL

now youth is here my time has aged us
smarter for good i dive off slow
your gravity is pulling me towards you
but tops go round fast then hit the wall
Track Name: in time
I saw you staring at me,
burning desire in your eyes
i wasn't looking for you,
guess you found me just in time
don't put up your defenses,
i wont stop at any cost
lets take this and run with it,
no one has to know but us

Ah Ah Ah Ah ah Ah, is it so wrong to want something better Ah Ah Ah Ah ah Ah, if you give it to me ill give it to you

the city's filled with daggers,
players looking for their slice
lonely hearts drown in empty love,
good intentions turn to ice
so with your body next to mine,
you are right where you belong
our passion lives through silent vows,
your breath is hunger in my lungs

Ah Ah Ah Ah ah Ah, is it so wrong to want something better Ah Ah Ah Ah ah Ah, if you give it to me ill give it to you

now we're looking at each other,
through separate eyes
my heat has melted all your fear
and saved me from my crimes
i've never been this close before
my heart is on the run
I'm trying to get back to you
but i don't know where i started from
Track Name: SHake oFF
shake your tail feather
and fly away with me
ill be your weather man predicting a cool breeze
and cloudy skies
raining with love
in your scorching heat my shower cools you off

SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT
SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT ........OFF
SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT
SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT ........OFF

you've lived in fear too long
I'm here to save the day
just leave it up to me i'll chase your gloom away
you're over there
and you're glowing red phosphorescence
baby i've got to be part of your sacred essence

SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT
SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT ........OFF
SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT
SHAKE IT, SHAKE SHAKE IT ........OFF

now you want to take me
for a ride
well your ice-cold has melted so i hop inside
our warm hearts
melt into the night
my love is dripping all over your c o n v e r t i b l e paint
