1.	Hollow Tree (free) 03:41	lyrics	download
Hey you don't seem real A hollow tree I'll never know I can't let go. I can't let go. What do you know? I love you. If you live and never grow, you've gone nowhere. Well, I should know. I can't let go. I can't let go. What do you know? Everybody knows it.
2.	Old Folks Home (free) 03:21	lyrics	download
I am a monumental tyrant. If I'd have known, I'd said stay away. I won't wallow round your dungeon. I take it back. It suits me to stay. If you don't mind, I'll be fine, If you remember my name. I took it too far in your car several miles away from your old folks home. I know your solitary secret I tied it up, hid it away. I wish that I could have known better I lose my head everyday.
3.	Oh, Lynnda (free) 04:03	lyrics	download
Oh Lynnda I don't have to be the center of attention Cause I love you. But that's something I forget to often mention. I lose time staring at the stars when I will never be there. Oh Lynnda I don't want to be the center of attention. Where are you? Is that something you forgot to even mention? I lose time staring at the stars when I will never be there. I waste time wondering what we are when I can never know that. Why do I want to? I don't have to. I wonder. I don't have to. I know I'll never know.
4.	Stellar Nursery (free) 02:27	lyrics	download
Hello my landslide, I'll let you fall. I know you'll betray me into the fog. But the truth - it never comes. It never comes I waited for someone sewn from a star
5.	Cut You in Half (free) 03:02	lyrics	download
Fix your hair just right, get ready for the time of your life Ticking clocks catch fire, burning out the time from your life You were wrong to take this on Your chase goes down a line that will cut you in half I guess I could have known A picket fence divides your brain into its left and its right. A waterfall at night, there’s white noise all the time in your life
6.	Gone After All (free) 02:48		download
7.	Drake Equation (free) 04:36	lyrics	download
Falling like the mercury ending the day I trip as your serious side gets in the way I always leave a part of me asleep for when I go to air conditioned wonder forest sterile land of retail I’m blank in the quiet and I don’t know why I’m blank in the quiet Ursula reads her stories to herself Christmas trees grace the sidewalks ever present gray Americans will return their gifts don’t give the secret away And someone reads the Drake Equation over the radio the universe is vast and lonely, by now you oughta know I’m blank in the quiet and I don’t know why I’m blank in the quiet Ursula reads her stories to herself Another world waiting for me. So keep your Drake Equation to yourself cause I am dreaming of another world
8.	Red Shift (free) 02:24		download
9.	In Theory (free) 02:44	lyrics	download
Don’t count back the numbers if you’re counting on me I won’t pretend that I’m sorry when it’s nothing to me But in theory everything is working fine You won’t solve your equations waiting for me to breath and all of my reservations are scattered bout with the leaves But in theory everything is working fine.
10.	Carrie Anne Bandage Tree (free) 02:55	lyrics	download
I can see the cut. It hurts each time we touch. But I can't heal it cause I'm not quite sure. I've never seen the snow before, so how am I to know? The fault lines have shown through. Our earth is cracked, it's true. But I don't feel it cause I'm not quite sure reality is here no more. So how am I to know if I'm in love with you? I'm on your breathless team, Carrie Anne Bandage Tree. Are you as broke as me?

about

all these songs were written by Bret Vogel with the exception of Stellar Nursery which was written with the help of Matt Henderson. Matt also arranged In Theory. IYC is Bret Vogel. Live incarnation at this time was Rian Lewis, Matt Henderson, Ruban and Kody Nielson. Rian helped mix Gone After All and Cut You In Half. This should be IYC’s 4th album, but was out as number 2 on accident. These songs were scrapped while trying to write the Resident Sea album. They were released anyhow because life is short and nothing really matters. In the spirit of IYC these songs are far from sonic perfection. Thanks very much for your interest and we hope you enjoy it!

PS: The real version of this record contains a cover of a We Five song (instead of Carrie Anne Bandage Tree,) but we aren't putting it on the internet so you'll have to get it at a show. Or send an email or something.

about

Incredible Yacht Control Auckland, New Zealand

I’m from Maraetai, NZ. I was in a band called Crosstide in Portland Oregon. We had a pretty good run. I write a lot of songs.

IYC started when my friends in the Mint Chicks and Crosstide encouraged me to release some of the lofi tracks I’d shared with them. Various combinations of those guys were in the live band.

Moved to NZ and music took a back seat. New record 2024. ... more
