If you get tired of all the sun in LA come back to me baby you know I hate to have you so far away The nights are getting weird without you here to keep from all these Brooklyn babies with their hydroponic weed Oh can't you see, can't you see darling I'm in need? When the summer nights get too cool to sleep come back to the city honey come back to our sweaty sheets This loneliness is making me weak and I need a hand to guide me down from this waking sleep

about

Cyrus Lee was born in Lansing, Iowa, and spent the first years of his life on the banks of the Mississippi river. His mother's piano playing, a mix of Czech folk melodies and American standards had a heavy and formative influence on his musical tastes. Cyrus' first substantial collaboration with Sether T. Bonte, an acquaintance and fellow dropout from Luther College, took place in the former gas station they shared as a residence in Spillville, Iowa. It was here that the two developed the musical strategy and theory of 'Chromatic Transubstantiation.' Among other high jinks they were said to have urinated regularly on the side of the Dvorak home in Spillville in an effort to "retroactively pollute the dominant 7 chord." The desire to confuse temporal causal relationships is a reoccurring theme in Lee's work.

His current New York City based band is comprised of artists and sometimes musicians with backgrounds in opera, the visual arts, public service, and the luxury goods industry. They play with a variously studied style and a soulful intuition summoned by a self indulgence that is as arduous in its cloying romanticism as it is easy in it's casual impetuousness. Despite the band naming New York City as its home, Cyrus spends most of his time writing and rehearsing in upstate New York on a Vose and Sons piano. To pass the time he enjoys identifying conifers, birds, and mammals, and smoking trout.
