domestic grove you are a sin like me you never share, you earn your keep go on and ruin, the walls are down you’re a drip, drip waste of water while you’re world is a drought once I rose, once I was proud to be alone and cold, the young of old looking down on everything lalala domestic grove you are allowed and free the danger’s down, the consequences far beneath your feet so how you doin up in the clouds you descend on our disorder perspiration from the clouds once I rose, once I was proud ot be alone and cold, the young of old looking down on everything

a soul full of virtue stands locked in the shade the shadow who hurt you burning in his glory and bakes in a blaze so what’s he smiling for he’s treading the water while its brought to a boil so give me the good news have the rulers been shamed can we dance in the ruins of mercenary wars and make love to the slaves so what you crying for we’re claiming our territory, spilling their blood it’s just a philosophy no there’s not much to be gained your mercenary lost the beat now our mission don’t feel the same the grim slummin’ slay lords to their gruesome we pray tie a noose that you can’t afford or is it by illusion that we will be saved so what you hiding for their shadows are murder and their eyes are the floor it’s just philosophy no there’s not much to be gained your mercenary lost the beat now our mission don’t feel the same soldiers of virtue rise on residuary tiles of greed soldiers of virtue rise on the mercenary we don’t need you (them) soldiers of virtue

about

Dweller on the Hill sprouted from Seattle’s underground music scene on Capitol Hill in 2013. Seattle guitarist and songwriter, Evan Gackstatter created Dweller on the Hill as a vessel to explore a more raw, simple and honest style of song and statement. The statement is that of social harmony, togetherness, opposing oppression and exposing the savagery used to divide and bewilder our global community at every turn. The sound is drawn from Gackstatter’s most cherished influences like Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Beck, St. Vincent, TV on the Radio, Cat Power and local guitar greats like Kim Thayil, Andy Coe, Danny Godinez, Jimmy James and many more. In 2015 Dweller on the Hill released two singles, “Circling the Drain” about the passing of Gackstatter’s grandfather the previous year and “Failed Oppressor” a premonition of what may have been in store (and actually was) the following year. The title track, “Yokva” (Hopi for rain or storm), was inspired by Gackstatter's travels to Chaco Canyon in the New Mexican desert. Overall, the Yokva EP speaks to the hell that the West has brought to indigenous cultures across the world and how that very hell awaits the West itself.
