a bear inside a box
released october 2008

 

 Broken star under the tree of reason
Weeds and wheels
Pamphlets
Shadow puppet ceiling makers (sink)
Miss the moon
Shakin’ time
Sliding over marbles
Mix it with milk
Stick lights
Daytime sleepers
The controller mouse
The end of things

 



a bear inside a box is the third in the series of fukachuk records that live far too close to home.. and it is sort of a culmination of a realization that there isn't as much separation between the city and the sticks and the lizard girl and the tree of reason with the things that are smaller and closer to the ground and the things that sting you and feel good and the things that give you snakes in your stomach sometimes. the bear was put into the box by everyone. but mostly the bear was put in to the box by the bear... it was only trying to save the small things from exploding...
a bear inside a box is about being scared of things... standing up to things.. and mostly just being. and it's about magic in a lot of ways that feel like wool on your arms in the winter.
