  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Two years ago, everything changed. Studios shut down, gigs dried up, and Widespread Haze resolved to record their debut full-length album themselves. They set up camp in the top floor ballroom of the local Oddfellows building (now Way Back Recording) and began chopping away at the biggest project of their lives. Their aim was simple, track live, keep it raw, and highlight the magic in between. The songs budded, the recordings grew, and two years later “Move” blossomed.

    From the first track to the last, “Move” is a lifetime of genre-bending emotion, jam-packed into an hour-long joy ride. Bodacious grooves explode into grungy garage then settle into dirty blues and blissful ballads. Whimsical wailings sail into lounging contemplations, then erupt into rock-n-roll ruckus. Throughout this musical mystery tour the lyrics lead the way, delving into the depths of human experience and returning home to tell the tale.

    It is the stories that unite us and the invisible details that define us. Move captures that in between magic and casts it back in an odyssey of musical gratitude.

Leave your shadow when you walk through the door Woah oh a-woah o-woah They don’t allow you to wear that shade anymore a-woah oh a-woah o-woah Draw the blinds, shine the spotlight, keep the angle askew Woah oh woah o-woah You’ll surely know what to do soon’s they tell it to you Woah oh a-woah o-woah But all of this glare coulda been avoided If the sun woulda heeded the government’s warning, hey Looks like its gonna be grey skies today I’ve seen a funny man laugh himself to the grave Woah oh a-woah o-woah I’ve seen a holy man damned as the devil was saved Woah oh a-woah o-woah Don’t blink or you may miss the man’s ineffable plot Woah oh a-woah o-woah I think therefor I am, ‘till I lose my train of thought Woah oh a-woah o-woah But all of this pain coulda been avoided If we all just stopped waking up in the morning, hey hey Keep on tellin’ me its gonna be okay But we know the true story Ain’t nothing gonna change it Must be polluting Your stream of information, yeah well There must be something wrong with your head The audacity to be askin’ questions Well I know what the man on the podium said And there ain’t no doubt about it There ain’t no doubt about it All this hatred must be some kind of rampant disease Woah oh a-woah o-woah I went to the forest all I could see was thousands of trees Woah oh a-woah o-woah I ain’t lying when I say that not a word of it’s true Woah oh a-woah o-woah All this trigger happy blues is a symptom of our point of view Woah oh a-woah o-woah But we could all go home at the end of the day Close the door, kill the lights, lock ourselves away We could sleep for the rest of our days If your majesty wants it that way Keep on telling me its gonna be okay We could walk away No more responsibility But we know the truth, they say Deep in our pockets, baby We’ll share it with you, hey hey If the authorities deem you worthy Slam your shot of the daily news Before you roll out of bed in the morning Now you know what the man on the podium said And there ain’t no doubt about it There ain’t no doubt about it

Move 07:31
Move over, take cover now, move on out They try to tell you what this life is really all about Move to the groove, said move on up I’m gonna move out to the country I’ve had enough Everybody wants a piece of the American eagle Got a left wing, right wing, predator in the middle All the children are standing in line for a chance to see one Poached, stuffed, and put on display in the state museum We gotta move Out to the country Where there ain’t nothing to do And all your friends are talkin’ funny We gotta move To the green rolling pastures Where the folks go slow ‘cause they ain’t got no time to go faster Run run run run, yeah you better run If you run fast enough you might outrun the sun And if you stay awake for long enough, you might get some rest And if you take a break for long enough, they might call it a Sabbath Won’t you tell me something, tell something that I want to know Tell me who, what, why, when, how, and where the hell did it go Won’t you sell me somethin’, somethin’ other that a piece of my mind back Nah, to busy celebrating the insatiable craving to be kidnapped by a psychopath We gotta move Out to the country Where the beasts roam free And all the peaches are growing fuzzy We gotta move Away from the city now You might think it’s a pity This ain’t no way to keep living now Play by play, and note by note At the end of the day, that’s all she wrote But night after night hear them playing the blues And our ears prick up at the ripped up score on the news We can all tune in on our 5G radio stations Where familiar faces say familiar words and phrases Where we’re all well acquainted with the coming of the end of days And if you squint your eyes tight enough, you can turn the page There’s a left turn signal left on in the five car pile up There were fifteen seconds to respond before the driver’s time was up All the nice clean shaven faces of the friendly firemen Didn’t quite make it in time for the occasion And the funeral coulda fed a family of five hundred And the tombstone read here lies a loving father and husband And all the folks dressed up in black to pay their respects And he never did get a chance to make that left But I like to think that that’s not where his story ends But it’s all pretend if the science can’t confirm it And the jury is finally in with the final verdict With a word and the strike of the gavel, God’s deemed deceased And no one seems to want to claim his seat So we all mark our calendar for the year of the beast We gotta move On with our lives When the lights go out What you gon’ be doin’ with your time We gotta go While the goin’ is good You might think that you shouldn’t But you know damn well that you should We gotta move now

You’re too hard to love That’s what I say Lovin’ yourself Gets in the way I need you to see me Don’t be afraid But seein’ too deep Scares me away Your pain is my fuel More I get, more I need Destruction and damage Define what I dream Please fit my disease Too hard to love Please understand But I know who I was And that ain’t who I am Destroy it, I’ll fix you My broken feels better Than your independence ‘least to me This cage just makes me feel so free Just need me Just need me Burnin’ like fuel More I get more I need In a cloud of smoke I can only hope To be a better me ‘till you’re burning again Destroy it, I’ll fix you My broken feels better Than being complete Please fit my disease Now you believe Tame your passion I’m scared to come in I’m scared to leave I know I can save you If you just hang on to me Your fire’s died down now I can breathe Your pain is my fuel More I get, more I need Destruction and damage Define what I dream ‘till you’re burning again Destroy it, I’ll fix you My broken feels better Than being complete Please fit my disease

Trash King 03:16
Nobody spoke about the comatose From then on mother hid the pills up on a higher shelf Nobody speaks about the missing weeks Memories abandoned in search of a higher self Nobody knows about your purple bones They compliment your sunglasses and buy you a drink Nobody’s home they just leave you alone Say goodbye we love you and we’ll probably see you next week, well Hey hey, there’s a better way But ain’t nobody gonna tell you till it’s much too late Woah oh, you gotta go There ain’t no more room for you here Till you can look into the mirror your reflection’s unclear Nobody cries at their last sunrise They might appreciate the colors if they can spare the time Nobody fights, they just stay inside Hoping the clean white coats come take them away in time Everyone’s wondering when the war will begin If it’s begun already, if we lose or we win And everyone’s locking their windows at night Thinking that’s where the enemy is Catch a glimpse of their reflection, gaze into the abyss Hey hey, best be on our way Got no patience for the people who cannot wait Woah oh, nobody knows Until they look up and face the truth That all these people in the mirror are reflections of you Trash king Sittin’ in his coffin Thinkin’ that he really ought to shine his shoes more often no dreams wants or ambitions he is happy right where he is says his favorite kind of friend’s the kind that doesn’t exist nobody likes what they look like hide behind a smile and a smoke and a bottle of wine nobody’s fine when they say they’re fine we’re all burning from both ends, running the clock out of time everyone’s counting up their wrongs and their rights making adjustments that they think may benefit the bottom line debt and pity, money and pride we’re all closer than we like to admit laughing at the hearse as we’re worshipping the crucifix, well hey hey, there’s a better way but ain’t nobody gonna tell ya till it’s much too late woah oh, you gotta go there ain’t no more room for you here till you can look into the mirror, yeah you best steer clear of the Trash King oo think’s he really ought to clean the wad of lint from out his pockets oo, oo who’s gonna clean up your mess when the folks that don’t exist the folks that you like best

Go To Bed 03:50
She walked in through the door Sat right here on the floor next to me Said I don’t know what you’ve been through But what I know is that you can do anything You want to I don’t want to see you down I want to see you with a crown upon your head Let me take you by the hand And show you every piece of sand this world has If you want to So we took off into the night Wonderin’ when we’ll see the light again She looked at me and kissed my head and said Honey we should go to bed And then we did As the years go down the road Suddenly we’re getting old Memories we made Kids have all gone away No reason we should stay around here Any more She said to me honey can’t you see What it means to be so free like we used to be We can hit the road and not look back See the world with fanny packs on our hips Like we should be So we took off into the night Wonderin’ when we’ll see the light again She looked at me and kissed my head and said Honey we should go to bed and then we did Suddenly the day had come She said to me it won’t be long and then I’m gone She took a breath and closed her eyes Smiled at me and said it’s time to go So she took off into the night Wondering when she’ll see the light again She looked at me and kissed my head Said honey I should go to bed And then she did So I took off into the night Wonderin’ when I’ll see the light again
