1.	For Coal Beach 03:37 video	lyrics
Coal beach coal beach coal beach coal beach I don't imagine you waiting there for me This fucking town is curdled all around The notes we'll never be In that melody Coal beach coal beach coal beach coal beach I remember you waiting there for me The whole fucking town is curdled all around The notes we'll never be In the melody Coal beach coal beach coal beach coal beach We watched them circle round and round Above the sea (where it had been) And you know it was always there then
2.	Heartbreak Kiosk 03:24 video	lyrics
Even though I remember You would have to say it first Just because you’re a postcard Habit dreaming in reverse Standing outside the heartbreak kiosk With a bag day in your eyes that Navigate the bingo warlords in their prime Even though I remember You would have to ask me first Just because you’re December Doesn’t mean the ceiling burst with lies Standing outside the heartbreak kiosk With the glassfibre dinosaurs Wondering why I was ever even In your thoughts at all? Even though I remember Falling over unrehearsed Just because you’re a postcard No one ever will return without you Standing outside the heartbreak kiosk With the glassfibre dinosaurs or Wondering why I was ever even In your thoughts at all?
3.	Boarded Up 00:30 video	lyrics
Stay out of where you don’t belong If I could have it all back again
4.	Hexagonal Sprinter 01:21 video	lyrics
You go there now You go back around Go there now… …say that without it being there though If I could tell you I would tell you to your face I don’t think it goes better in that “Woe! Oh no!” I would say You can be wrong and you can be yourself again But I won’t go there without a laughter in the old spin Keeping it all over Telling it to her fully Never to let go Never to move on truly I won’t accept...
5.	Cobwebs (Revisited) 04:25 video	lyrics
Where did I go then? I remember living in the cobwebs of regret I remember floating where the western window kept Rusted edges of the sky outside your tiny bed Why would I go back? I remember then I remember walking through the littered emptiness Wondering why all the other kids seemed so different? Wondering if I’m dead? I am made of soil I am made of everything you’re not And you were wrong I was never worth it I was rotten to the core Here on the floor Twilight brought your sign Twilight brought my memory of your incidental smile I was in the firmament before I saw those eyes If you turn and stare I will not be there

about

The mysterious Hydrogen Trees are a Scarborough based, analogue, audio-visual project. Utilising defunct recording machines, obsolete cassette porta studios, dictaphones, photography and mobile phone videos.

Their self-produced debut EP Back Down Woe Betide Ravine is set for release on 12th August on Irregular Patterns. A collection of five songs revelling in surreal grandeur; vignettes of Scarborough’s faded glory split by years of neglect and austerity. A vision of fibreglass seahorses and broken light bulbs cut through with northern wit, beautifully laconic storytelling charm and honesty.

about

The Hydrogen Trees Scarborough, UK

In the back bedroom of a Scarborough terraced house strange little songs are grown on old cassette tapes; the misshapen fruit of the hydrogen trees.
