The Wolves’ Howls Shatter The Old Glass Moon

The Wolves Howls Shatter The Old Glass Moon by Dirt Diamonds

End Of July – It’s a fun song to play. We tried to include some things we love about music.... dirty groove, melodies, noise, guitars and the bells are the cherries on top.

Stars - We originally recorded this song with Luke Steele, so you can hear his influence on this track. It’s reminiscent of The Beatles, it pumps out a lot of harmonies. We threw the kitchen sink to it by the end of the song. This was the first song Joel heard of the band, he heard the demo at a party we both attended when a friend Andy (Lawson) who ended up engineering the EP, had a copy.

Things Have Changed – It’s got a Tom Waits vibe going on. James (Ireland, keyboards) is on piano accordion. The two and fours are a sample from a movie set in the ’30s in the deep south of America and the prisoners are working on the railway. It’s a song about change, getting a little older and going, ‘uh, so this is what goes on in the world’.

Don't Look Down – A song about going up and coming down. Getting well high, and crashing down. Winning big at the casino, to lose it all on the next hand. Finding the girl of your dreams, to find out she's a lesbian, etc, etc.
