Milk 03:21
Coming around. I am running from the ground on which we used to stand. He pulled an arrow out and shot me in the back, I poured the milk he wiped it from my mouth. As I thought of you he pulled me closer still. His eyes glistened like he'd seen something in me, but in your arms I said I'd be. Just in time. I thought that you would follow me down. Instead you whispered leave now. As I thought of you he pulled me closer still. His eyes glistened like he'd seen something in me, but in your arms I said I'd be. Now something has changed in me. Now something has changed in me. Now something has changed in me.

Coming up, I want to see you All I want is some reason To call you and tell you I'm ready Tell you I'm waiting It does not move in slow motion It is even but not so smooth So sublime was the warning So sublime was the warning Fit into the line Fit into the line Coming out of a dream-like state Into this rushing tension I dare not move because there's a pounding I lie awake and I feel so restless Fit into the line Fit into the line I feel I know nothing now I feel I know nothing I feel like I I wanna know what I'm supposed to do I wanna know what I'm supposed to do I wanna know what I'm supposed to do I wanna know what I'm supposed to do
3.
Are we there yet? Working out how to stem the flow of your blood See them getting closer now Drag you to safety behind the hill Are we there yet ? Looking forward to being home and loved Why do you seem so still? Are you the one I should be running from? Do you know I'm expected home before the chimes? They will notice that I'm gone so I'll be fine Feel the chill of the night closing in We've walked for miles and we still have that to walk twice again I hide my hands so you do not see them tremble I call to you ahead I say Are we there yet? Do you know I'm expected home before the chimes? They will notice that I'm gone so I'll be fine I'll be fine

My Gut 03:26
It's the same song I've had it on repeat for months now It used to speak to me so loud and now the sound echoes around Like a blurred and distant cry in the night I almost lost it, everything was just too perfect Disappear into the ether and there I'll be Holding my breath and climbing up to the surface to start again Because when a thought sparks in my mind I can't stop these tears from rolling out my eyes But now your gone this nervous energy is lost I keep you close, it's been so hard to let you go True friendship called There was just darkness waiting at my door I loved you like anyone could Now I barely speak, it's been this way now for so many weeks Because when a thought sparks in my mind I can't stop these tears from rolling out my eyes But now your gone this nervous energy is lost I keep you close, it's been so hard to let you go Because when a thought sparks in my mind I can't stop these tears from rolling out my eyes But now your gone this nervous energy is lost I keep you close, it's been so hard to let you go

Always 04:23
I'll call around your house A couple of times a day So you can feed me with tenderness and love And if your not there I'll watch through your window And if your not there I'll wait 'till you come home I will come to you Whenever you want me to Whatever you ask I'll do Always right here Coming around to the idea that you are gonna run And I won't get what I want Always right here Coming around to the idea that you are gonna run And I won't get what I want Some say that it's obsessive but that's a matter of opinion Because it's my nature to want to be loved It's a dangerous position, a need to fulfill an endless want It's an easy kind of love but take it while you can I will come to you Whenever you want me to Whatever you ask I'll do Always right here Coming around to the idea that you are gonna run And I won't get what I want Always right here Coming around to the idea that you are gonna run And I won't get what I want

What We Do 04:39
So tired, so tired Sleep burns through the hours Waking up, eyes stuck shut Hands covered in print from yesterdays news Light glints through the window, dust gathers in the room Fold back the sky, let day turn to night No need to undo Let me sleep away the days And oh my god, it ain't so hard Let's settle down and sort it out I don't mind you passing me by I'll say hello and smile, and only we will know You say, you say It's just like any other day Holding up, mouth stuck shut You keep it so close to your chest 'till it breaks through then it's just a hallowed mess But it's alright, slip down and pass out I won't wait Going outside in the sun And oh my god, it ain't so hard Let's settle down and sort it out I don't mind you passing me by I'll say hello and smile, and only we will know So come on little love You know it ain't so hard, I know your not that tough I've spent my time with you to know well enough That we both mean what we do
7.
End Time 02:22
We've come to the end of the world as we know it All of those people that wanna pass the blame Figure it out oh you couldn't be different At least you tried on you dying day Oh what a chance we have It's always been the same, and it always will be I see you talk for hours about the ideal Then watch as you do as you said you would not You would dance upon your neighbors grave It's always been the same, and it always will be Oh I will wait Oh I will wait For your peace
8.
If you fall away too much It might not be enough for me to stop, wait, sometimes it knows, I'll come, with you I'd stay all day I like the sound It comes back again Carried with just one word To dive into the blackened pool You do that to me Do you feel it You do that to me I will press your lips with mine It might not be enough for you to stay here, want to love, it dwells I like the sound It comes back again Carried with just one word To dive into the blackened pool You do that to me Do you feel it You do that to me

What's This? 03:50
I thought I saw this bird He comes to me in dreams Settles by my bed And watches as I sleep Where I wait in disguise For pictures I long to see Slips into my mind And it follows me around It's unsettling I'm running kind of slow Reboot it and let's see To slip out of old habits Whilst slipping into something He sees me as I am Brutal as is honest Slips into my mind And it follows me around It's unsettling I have no control I thought I heard this bird He comes to me in dreams He tells me what I am I think I hear him What's this? What's this? What's this you say? What's this? What's this? What's this you say? What's this? What's this? What's this you say? What's this? What's this? What's this you say?

Jackie 04:31
It's all about space and time, and serpentine's Those chemical reactions These four walls not familiar, but this is my home Now come back once more Memories locked away for no one to see even me Awake in the dark, a happy prisoner in my own world I'm told Jackie is my name Repeating it over and over inside my brain I guess it didn't go quite to plan We'll meet at the lighthouse, bring me back to the shore once again Watery eyes looking at me Hold my hand and I smile politely You know my name, I'm so sorry I don't know the same Now these four walls Sometimes music plays, it'll come back to me then it'll go again For that moment I felt free, felt normal, at least I think that's how it used to be I'm told Jackie is my name Repeating it over and over inside my brain I guess it didn't go quite to plan We'll meet at the lighthouse, bring me back to the shore once again I'm told Jackie is my name Repeating it over and over inside my brain I guess it didn't go quite to plan We'll meet at the lighthouse, bring me back to the shore once again

about

Here lies Keto's most complete work to date, her eagerly anticipated debut album, Blackened Pool, due for release 29th October 2018.

Recorded in the eerily serene setting of the Outer Hebrides with support from the PRS Foundation, Blackened Pool is a collection of incredibly dark, minimalist songs, with dreamy backdrops. Detuned nylon string guitar and distinctive vocals recorded singularly on one mic form the bedrock of these tracks. Add, then, sparse piano, violin, electric guitars, swirling melodies, textures and percussion then listen as these songs rise and fall between the sublime, where bleakness and enduring hopefulness collide.

This year Keto went on a full UK and Ireland tour supporting critically acclaimed songwriter, Simone Felice (Three Billboards.,), performed at the renowned Southbank centre, performed at Green Man festival '18 and Moseley Folk Festival. In October Keto will support LOW, at the Trinity centre in Bristol (yet to be announced), before embarking on her own tour of intimate venues at the end of October/November, more to be announced.

First single ‘Always’ will be available online September 10th and released on September 24th, accompanied by this beautiful animation, link to video here: youtu.be/DbS7F69HpTc

The album will be available on vinyl after the recent success of Keto's Qrates crowdfunding campaign link here: qrates.com/projects/16513

19th September S/ The Wedding Present, Rescue Rooms, Nottingham.
15th October supporting LOW at Trinity centre, Bristol. TBA.
