Offered here is the accompanying Knight Errand album cover - once removed.... Meaning — less an actual vinyl disc, that is... but conceived in the same spirit and serving the very same function, but more as metaphor, like everything else these days.

Each features a white-on-white, blind-embossed, Knight Errand crest & filagree, lavishly struck deep into the thick pillowy fibers of a Wild Triple Thick Cotton card by the gifted pressfolk of Somersault Letterpress in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.

Subsequently, each crest will then be emblazoned with a series of motifs, taken from the lyrics, each single combination unique to you! The proprietor of Universal Exports of North America, guided by received automatic energies, vibing on whatever is in the ether at that particular moment, will compose a distinct mix of symbols - your very own Knight Errand! What evocative arrangement will you evoke?

Each print hand stamped in colored archival inks. 9"x9" with a punched hole, ready to hang loose - free mounting nail included!

Nice to be here in the country Holding up my guts to be dried by Winds that blow so clean They knock me off my feet Autumn grass, brushed into patterns Wayward leaves tossed, emancipated Only some are freed Some just go to sleep Triggers in the night Vigorous like a knife Lost hours I can't bear them Ambition, inspiration Hairshirt of information Filling up the void is the Knight Errand Heave those stones down in a circle Build a fire underneath a kettle Brewing fickle deeds Into soothing teas ©&℗ 2021 Happy Maps Publishing Co.

about

Hark! The Knight Errand

A miniature suite in three brief acts, Knight Errand is the debut release from toponymic rock outfit Timothy Monger State Park. Led by namesake, singer, and guitarist Timothy Monger, the project celebrates among other things bold melodic songwriting, abstract lyricism, Medieval heraldry, and printmaking.
At the vanguard is "Trade Paperback," an exultant fanfare whose three concise lines of verse proclaim the transformative power of literature. After this, the "Knight Errand" himself takes center stage, "brewing fickle deeds into soothing teas." Favoring practicality over chivalry, his quest to complete mundane tasks is soundtracked by a swirl of jangling autumnal power pop. Shambling along at the rear is "Prayer Goblin," a psychedelic road theme of significant rock and roll mass which weaves through various micro-climates, all within its own eerie biome.
Conceived in the autumn, recorded during winter, then left to ferment in a crucible of global chaos for nineteen months, this is the Knight Errand.
