about
Caterpillar was written specifically with my neighborhood of Highland Park Los Angeles in mind, imagery of mariachi bands and fruit stands. One day I was walking down the street and saw a Caterpillar. I followed it a bit around the corner to the alley way. Bringing such mindful attention to the crawl I began to think about the nature of metamorphic change in all our lives.
lyrics
A coconut parade
Stillness in the shade
Moment a la mode
The mariachi plays
And beauty is bestowed
In Figueroa phrase
The caterpillar band
Has got me in a trance
All the songs they’re singing
How life can be so simple free from your cocoon
Dreams are yours for taking
Face to face with fear what have you got to lose
At every corners turn
I’m at a loss for words
The rhythm knows my name
My heart it takes a verse
Caterpillars do proclaim
Remember what you heard
And will you join the band?
Well its free from life’s demands
All songs are worth singing
They don’t care if you can’t even hold a tune
To waltz beneath a feeling
To dance with doubt while shouting out that
I’m my truth
Become what you’re believing
A caterpillar spreading hope in the afternoon

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
An ambitious pop song cycle about human loneliness and fear, thick with harmonies and buoyed by tight musicianship. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 27, 2018
Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
