Osprey 07:36
my osprey love ordained from above its gilded affection with feigning discretion my minnow devotion betrayed by emotion its self sacrifice on distorted advice my passerine reactions towards peregrine distractions those halcyon days where my hawkishness waned and augurs directions fill me with questions Is passion temporal is yearning amoral days of the future in the past my mutant ways will never last ospreys design is filled with flaws cant grip the world within my claws
2.
Pigeon 04:19
why am I not a symbol why am I not a saint trapped in the mind of a pigeon as if thats a restraint my words! are absurd! why am I not a taurus enraged at the sight of red entrenched in a mausoleum blueprints inside my head matador! salvador! why am I not a divebird commanding my ups and downs this cavalry cant excite you crashing your revery down discard it! discard it! discard it! restart it! restart it! restart it!

Albatross 04:45
my distance is an albatross set on the path for discovery tailing the ship a bit too close damage the road to recovery i think your well is well disguised i think our love is slippery i think these verbs are well defined ill face the words in front of me this exposition leads to null these awkward feelings I seem to hold in high regard it makes no sense i float in the air but feel so dense petrels plan has been exposed my depositions been disposed wisdoms wind is well informed poseidons spur is still in form
4.
Siskin 02:54
anhedonia mixed with nausea does your insomnia seduce harmonia ill bide my time discovering liberation within siskins song your dystopia seemed indefinite you romanticized those pathetic lives
5.
Crow 03:56
crosshairs they multiply  under divided eyes chalkboards they crucify under falangist lies didacts theyre all the same relax and say their name partisans never die corvids they never cry! as I sink deeper into bed i wonder how ill rest is it oxygen or memories clogging pores inside my chest react the same as me or else I can't be free flesh out your strategies discard your apathy flankers are fortified columns of british spies react the same as me i just can't let it be hornets wasps and yellow jackets synonymous in name but the sting i feel now, they can never recreate
6.
Weaver 05:39
disputed calls from awkward halls faced with the fall of fading walls hoping for static my muted colors save my voice their shifting state betrays their choice gestures of grandeur ill build you this nest snapping from the stress you put on your back ill seal every crack owls own the moonlight who controls the day? is weaver here to stay? pink sabres sprawled across her room dispel the myth its a curse to bloom red rocks remind me of coastal trots the treads of thoughts the sudden stops of romantic plots partial completion mark down the mounts theyre not man made unlike the looks and stares she gave the night the moon fell pocket perceptions to be replayed cerebral screens on cloudy days where weaver is missing

Cardinal 00:20
and i can make your heart sing…

about

Aesthetically, Gasol's Augur is reminiscent of the band's heroes: the looseness of the detuned guitars of Pavement, the rhythm section recalling the foundation of the aural assault of Sonic Youth. Vocalist Jeff Habgood shoots between yelling and whispering, as if each song is a journey for him to find a way to express something beyond the word's he's singing.

As for the themes of the album, there is a quite obvious one: birds.

From Wikipedia: “An Augur was a priest and official in the classical Roman World. His main role was the practice of augury: Interpreting the will of the gods by studying the flight of birds - whether they were flying in groups or alone, what noises they made as they flew, direction of flight, and what kind of birds they were”

Augur is an album whose songs all are about discovery and introspection in a world of endless possibilities.
