Bells 04:06
it can be fused but it should be used as it's directed and you can not know and you can not sew back a single thread it's a ways apart and you knew it from the start so you tore it apart and it went to your head the feelings change, the feelings rearrange and the feelings grow and you can not trace back to the place with a fork in the road but, it's a chance you take one that could prove you wrong or do you more harm than good no one can know but you have to say it and no one is there, so you have to claim it and it's a worthy fight one that will survive when you're stuck in a bind and you're in need of a change
2.
Once Around 03:32
you said, you're lost and you're eyelids are closed you're wasting all your time in here until the host and the heavenly ghost are standing front and center i felt the past like an avalanche turning on it's heal and then the man with the mask in his hand was right behind the mirror and i think we finally may have found a way out to justify the meaning that come once around i felt the power and i felt the needs to speak to shadows and the sheets i felt loads of concrete stones turn to weeping willows it made sense to abandon the myths and battle one on one 'cos chains do not change after all
3.
Debt 04:25
i could clear my mental frame and put you in rotation and hang on every single word and heighten every impulse so come on, give me a signal you vowed to become a crown c'mon do me a favor i thought that you were the one who would become my savior so c'mon do me a favor oh, when you wake up you will know what you have done she said c'mon and get on the floor because there's not a lot of time she ran her fingers down my spine and you realign with the place you've found tonight
4.
I Like U 04:18
i think i like u is it too late to change i think i'd like to try to change my ways now and when the facts are in the game just isn't kind, alright we are primal as our instincts take shape it clouds our judgement and makes the wrong way feel safe can you answer now? i wish you'd try...
5.
Tender 03:41
there is a lightswitch in the dark where a conscience can't be won and you know that the simplest things seem so perfectly placed and i can tell you now that i can reach you every night because i got a tender thing in my mind the sensations i have never change and i have faith that this will never change 'cos i know when i touch you i feel something pushing my blood deeper into my heart and i can tall you know that you will never be alone
6.
Lakes 03:57
it started over and over and over and over again i tried explaining the side you denied denied denied and i don't want you to enter my life when i don't think this hope can survive for long it happened over and over and over and hung from the sky and stripped our hands of pride and the signs that we were right and i don't think we knew at the time that each defeat was a scene of the crimes, you know we were moving on lakes when we thought we were safe it started over and over and over and over again i tried explaining my side it was all that i could find and i don't want this center of self i don't want my name on the shelf, you know
7.
Ten Steps 04:31
assemblize, resign your mind and put your eyes on me we'll take the list and make it fancy stabilize, we'll take it slowly now and recognize the kind advice that we can live without a careless radio with ten steps 'til you go the minutes were in control the way the words they held rewards we couldn't understand a peace of mind, a happy ending and we were there and they just stared at you it had the looks, but made no sense to be compared to you
8.
Antarctica 03:36
it's the same two equals two to you and me no matter what's written in geography and we all fight to go upstream it's the same two equals two to you and me historically speaking and the tears you cry are the same as mine we go up and down but we all come around you buried six long years in antarctica you've got to battle
9.
Midnight Sun 05:01
when you get home it's not the right one the tables are turned you can't find the right song honey, are you willing to wait and kill time? there aren't enough hours in the day for me to hold you tight but in the midnight sun... you waste your time hung on a clothesline and you waste your breath and you have no excuse
10.
i took you for a walk and i was so surprised i took one look into your eyes of solid oak and we went for a swim and i was captured in to a photographic lens of solid gold but why do you keep sitting there alone? you know what time it is but, do you want to hide? i lost track of time when i tried to do the math and walk along the path of righteous men to accelerate a change, evaluate the tricks 'til everything was fixed and found again the tricks are on
11.
Devotion 06:04
i'll take my place down there to gates where no treasures are kept the question remains what if nothings hidden divided love eager to please devotion i'll take my place down there a place where no feet shall find rest our bodies will empty our souls and where they will go we don't know

about

Black Tie Dynasty perfectly embrace the sounds of bands such as Joy Division, The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen, catching the post punk wave that exploded in the 80’s and updating it to make it relevant in today’s world. Outburn Magazine

Smooth and drifting soundscapes flash across the songs, the melodies hint towards a Britpop groove with a good solid American pop base to stand on. The Big Takeover

Filled with new wave precision and muscular synth pop, the CD establishes the Fort Worth, Texas outfit as one of the leading contenders to prove that the recent 80’s revival is about innovation and songwriting more than simply derivative musical copycatting. Amplifier Magazine

The vocals sound a bit like Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode with an indie/retro rock feel to the music but packed with originality. These guys know what they’re doing. Impact Press

Chiming Melodies, Groovy bass lines and stadium size choruses scatter themselves across the record. An excellent debut release. Alternative Malta

If you enjoy the plucking of a guitar with a Cure-like playful mysteriousness with a twist of romantic candlelight blackness, you will definitely have an appetite for Black Tie Dynasty Alt.Culture.Guide

Everyone and his black-clad brother is playing homage to 80’s Brit punk these days, but few do it as well as Fort Worth’s Black Tie Dynasty. On their hummable debut, Eddie Thomas, Blake McWhorter, Cory Watson and Brian MCQuorcodale bang out on concise gloom pop ditty after another. Dallas Morning News

This is one of the most promising local records of the year-Dallas Observer
