Servant of Wonder

Greetings Paper Dragon fans, and happy June Solstice to you, the shortest day of the year down under! Actually, i've looked into the matter, and that's not quite true, if by "down under" you mean "south of the equator". Within roughly 0.33° latitude of the equator, atmospheric refraction prolongs daylight enough at the solstice to split the annual minimum between two equally short days on either side of it, while inside the Antarctic Circle the solstice falls within a continuous stretch of polar night, making many dates equally sunless [*]. So it is uniquely the shortest day only across the broad band between those two regions. But enough about atmospheric optics.

Today we released a new song on our Music page: "Servant of Wonder". It's an evocation on the edge and the first song whose lyrics i wrote by massaging a mumble track. What a winning hack! As with the similarly written "Feed the Whirl", don't hunt too hard for sense beyond the sound, but do gently rock. We hope you enjoy it.

And about that gig... We're working on it. Will get back to you!
