about
Like a more psychedelic Spoon or a more shambolic Pinback...The East Bay band’s debut politely ignores prevailing trends.
- Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express
A powerful, fresh sound that builds on the past and adventurously anticipates the future. Psychedelic flourishes enhance intricately layered rock.
- Paul Freeman, San Jose Mercury
There's a deep fluidity in the songs of Wave Array that makes the group not just another drop in the ocean of psychedelic garage-rock bands.
- Delfín Vigil, SF Chronicle
Self released and self-produced. Cheapjack Moon is a 2 year culmination of Wave Array's sonic evolution.

- Track Name: Future Tense
-
Well she stands in place
waiting for something someone arrived
he doesn't talk to much, he won't talk to much
he's dragging out a momentary silence
invisible to each other
he sits and only hears
a whisper in his ears of something that he needed to rely on
she said, she said,
she said she said
These paths of broken string
colliding out of me
come and twist them up
just wind around
another future tense to see
to warp your innocence, your innocence
just remember, just remember
it's all in your hands
In a fairytailing twist,
she appeared from out of air
before he caught himself
he fell before he spoke
and gasping he had nothing to say
he couldn't say, he couldn't say
instead he fought himself
did I choose the right one?
Of course you did, I know you did
Once you've seen the bottom of the abyss
you can't be wrong
if you've seen the end, you can't be wrong
if you make the end, you can't be wrong - Track Name: Cruise Control
-
Let the music fall from the sky
Let it lead us to our home
With so much time to wind up the mind
Yeah and let our bodies go
I'm not gonna try anymore
Well I'll just let it roll
I'm not gonna try anymore
and I'm in cruise control
Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul
Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul
Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul
Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul
I'm not gonna try anymore, Well I'll just let it roll
I'm not gonna try anymore, I'll let it roll - Track Name: Traffic
-
You're quickly running out of rope to climb
taking chances with your unlucky nines
are you sure you found it all in one place, in one piece?
In spades they have it
everything you never need
won't stop feeding you this traffic
clouding what's already thin
They make the promise they will bring you back
they make that promise like they have the means
and the ways you go around your head
you needed something else instead
the ways you go around your head
you needed something else instead
In spades they have it
everything you never needed
want...need. - Track Name: Lullaby
-
My old friend, who's going to bury who?
In this time we've met, I've never seen you sleep
do you find it odd, never rest for the weary
standing under a cloud with these weights you drag
So sleep away my friend
I'll stay to wake you in the end
and dream those dreams you keep inside
look at yourself, sleepy eyes
Asleep, asleep, pray for your soul to stay
and tunnel through this darkness, this chaos you see
So sleep away my friend
I'll stay to wake you in the end
and dream those dreams you keep inside
look at yourself, sleepy eyes - Track Name: Paper Wings
-
Paper wings just cutting holes
folding up to get away
Can't escape the lingering
of thoughts I've had along the way
A broken beacon lights the shallow crashing waves
you are, you are, you are burned
Sometimes you are a pretty face in the crowd
and all I want to do is end this tripping fool's climb for nothing
Marching through the caravan
searching stones along the shore
Smoke and mirrors and fallacies
coming with the rush of kerosene
A sleeping dreamer in a silent symphony
you are, you are, you are heard
Sometimes you are a pretty face in the crowd
and all I want to do is end this tripping fool's climb for nothing
I'm already here, where I have to be
I'm already here, where I have to be
where I have to be - Track Name: Tell Us Tonight
-
Balloons come up
from a sinking rock you threw
and it's on the way down
Deepest black and the dark floor exists
my apologies for your waste
Your something awaits your every move, your every move
and it's here to find you
to find you, and haunt you
Come here you'll find out just what we are
what's the trouble what's the toll
a million minds can't fathom what we'll see
bring your best impersonation
She grew wings and she's coming back,
she found you and she's coming back to tell you
to tell you
I'm coming up to cut you to pieces
I'm coming up to cut you to pieces
pieces, to pieces
Don't worry about her, she won't stay, she won't stay
come clean around it to plant it and sprout it in may
a green start to warm your horizons and endless days
cover your attachments to keep them from running away
We won't say what you tell us tonight
we won't say what you tell us tonight
we won't say what you tell us tonight
we won't say what you tell us tonight
Don't worry about her she won't stay, she won't stay
Don't worry about her she won't stay, she won't stay - Track Name: Karmic Impulse

Spill it all
you're really going out on something strange
why don't you reassess your situation
before you blast yourself off, before you cast away
Ride this impulse out, 'til you know what you've done
ride this impulse out, 'til it comes around again
Why you reaching?
Why you reaching?
Don't stop believing
otherwise you'll plummet down
the side of the earth that was flat as a plank is now
inexplicably round
Give your thanks
for what you have, you really have it good
The sky you picked is sour on the other side
the fall of your civilization could come around at any time
Ride this impulse out, 'til you know what you've got
ride this impulse out, 'til your karma breaks you down
Why you reaching?
why you reaching?
Don't stop believing
otherwise you'll plummet down
the side of the earth that was flat as a plank is now
inexplicably round
Why you reaching?
Why you reaching? - Track Name: Crown
-
Don't be afraid of me
but I'm coming for you, coming for you
wave your feelings down
cause I'm coming for you, coming for you
What would I find if I could see through the mud,
take a look at you now, what would I find?
Take back the lies you make
give back the claims you stake
a useless go and turn around
walking with a tainted crown
A tainted crown
you've broken it down
the scythe treats you the same as everyone
A tainted crown
you've broken it down
the scythe treats you the same as everyone
A tainted crown
you've broken it down
the scythe treats you the same as everyone
A tainted crown
you've broken it down
the scythe treats you the same as everyone
the same as everyone
the same as everyone
the same as everyone
the same as everyone - Track Name: Footprints

So many questions
I'll just leave my naked footprints in the field
When I come around again
I hope to see them laying peacefully
instead of desert, instead of rail, instead of branching roads
pretend the future, pretend the past has nothing for us at all
Is this all you want me to be
Is this all you wanted from me
I can break the legends down with some time
Safe at home again
right back to where we know it started from
hold your disasters
I don't want this to turn ugly
I can be what you want me to be
I will make them all understand
Gonna take it over again with some time
Save yourself the trouble you are
grateful for the times you were there
but you're not needed here anymore
you're not helping at all anymore
Safe at home again
right back to where we know it started from - Track Name: In the Peel
-
Somebody stop me, I can't control myself
grab another one from the ledge and open it up
open up the inside, and throw it away
You know, it can't be that bad
it can't be that bad it's in the peel
what you're looking for isn't real
it won't appear, so why not just pretend away
I know, what's the point of doing something about it
if you can't feel it, touch it, breathe it
You know, it can't be that bad
it can't be that bad it's in the peel
what you're looking for isn't real
it won't appear, so why not just pretend away
Who exactly are you to say?
In the peel I'll keep it
I won't, I won't deal with the inside
just leave me the bitter ends, the bitterness
You know, it can't be that bad
it can't be that bad it's in the peel
what you're looking for isn't real
it won't appear, so why not just pretend away
In my final dancing days
I might change
I might change
I might, I might deal with the inside
forfeit the bitterness for a sweet ending - Track Name: Leave Me In
-
Picturing you again
reminds me of your breath as cold as the window
keep the world outside
Forget about the bricks
rest your ears from piercing lips disguised as a smile
wrapped around their heads
The world waits for us to breathe
who are we to hide away
Why keep the world outside?
Silence keeps the world outside
Come down off your cold, senseless ark
let a thousand pins wash your skin
because, because
once the numbness melts your bones
you care
You moved on with your effects
we shared a laugh
created a silence
and scattered
Why keep the world outside?
Silence keeps the world outside
Let a thousand pins wash your skin
let a thousand pins wash your skin
because, because
because, because
because you leave me in
Leave me in
leave me in
leave me in
leave me in - Track Name: The Allegory
-
Don’t fall asleep
There’s so much you need to see
Locked from the inside
With walls painted sky blue
So long, we could never surrender
And so falls the sky
Is that what you wanted
It comes crashing down on me
So like a child
Watching the mobile we’re entranced
Staring at the ceiling
To notice its splitting
Dizzy, broken, and destroyed
So fall to your knees
And witness the truth
You wanted to leave behind
Am I making you lose your mind
And so falls the sky
Is that what you wanted
It comes crashing down on me
