"I want to know your God / I want to feel his strength / but I've been alone for so long / I can't wrap my head around it..."
The cascading translucent haunt of "Geeohdee" by Louisville, Kentucky singer-songwriter / musician / artist preciousrobot feels moving but in ghostly ways. Maybe it is the blips and bending oscillations that feel like radio transmissions from beyond, or maybe it is the familiarity of the chord progressions easing in like fond memories with friends. The sensibility of those progressions, something between folk and porch country and busker punk lay a lovely framework for preciousrobot's forlorn vocal countenance and sounds that drone like broken church organ as bass lines wander through it all.
[I want to know your God
I want to feel his strength
but I've been alone for so long
I can't wrap my head around it.
I want to feel pure
and live by his word
but every question they said,
"We don't speak those words around here."]

The narrative which might be described as 'religious questions asked by an atheist' is told on a series of verses with evocative musical breaks that might as well be considered an instrumental chorus because there doesn't seem to be one. Unless what I consider a bridge to nowhere (as the outro) is a single chorus sung at the end. Whatever structure this is, it is a fascinating one and gives this experimental song even more import. It is one of those songs that should haunt any playlist, it will turn heads against any genre on any playlist. Great stuff from preciousrobot's new 6 track album "Through the Woods Alone Without Prayer".
