Meet me sitting on the edge of the cliff, my feet dangling, I’m not affraid to fall. All my senses await the call of the wind and the sun will show me the mistery of Apple smell colour. I’ll lie down on your moss bed, under the clouds, scented with the rain of your tears. The moon caresses me, its light protects me, takes away the shadows and flies me to my dreams. And I dive into the fog, then sink into the sea surrounded by coral and small fish… Apple smell colour. I’ll swim into the depths of the ocean: the place where I want to sleep.

The crazy acrobat is not afraid of death and makes fun of fate. The crazy acrobat went to bed at dawn and smoked too much with his friend, the clown. Blindfolded and without a net he will make the trip not trusting his soul without a business to keep on a greasy wire under the great wild storm and the watchful eye of vultures. Greasy wire, great wild storm, watchful eye. The crazy acrobat doesn’t drink to forget He doesn’t have much life memories The crazy acrobat is very brave He has courage and bad luck Today is gonna be a great day, today he will get his chance He will wear his best costumes and will show the best of his smiles on a greasy wire, under the great wild storm and the watchful eye of vultures. Greasy wire, great wild storm, watchful eye. He must take the first step, don’t doubt. He has to start with the left foot. He has to find the right impulse with the right strength and then never look down. Look ahead to the end. And pushed by the drum roll and the popular clamor his eyes begin to mourn – Think no more! – He tells his friend, the clown ninety meters to the ground the taste of metal in his mouth. The crazy acrobat sleeping on the street, He has enough balance to survive. The crazy acrobat, endless dreams in a life of a circus star. Blindfolded and without a net, he will make the trip, he will wear his best costumesand will show the best of his smiles. On a shiny wire under the great circus tent and the fearful eye of children. Shiny wire, circus tent, fearful eye.

The Hermit 05:14
I search the light at the top of the mountain. I walk unshod and I dont feel the pain. I can hear your voice again under the ethernal look of God. I can’t find peace, I have a worm inside me. He talk to me all night and wish to be released. I can see our love scenes in front the smile of the Devil. In between God and the Devil. After my penitence starts the onanism, but my brain doesn’t listen, faith don’t blocks my senses. I can touch and I can kiss, I can think and I can kill. Now I go over the streets, I have blood in my hands. Now I go over the streets…

I go down to the river in my mind. I go down to the river, it’s so far. Now I march through an unknown country To defend the freedom in the trenches but my eyes look at the river… It’s so nice. After the victory, I’ll return. I don’t sleep and I’m a dreamer without peace. I don’t touch you and I’m a lover without a kiss. Shots bring down my soul friends, bombs are deafening and cruel, but in my head I hear your voice singing to me. After the victory, I’ll take care of you.

– Your tail moves when you lie. – The rabbit tells the snake before he dies. – You are the one who came to me, busting into my lair. Taken by the curiosity you crossed the red line. ssssss…. – The sly squirrel, watching from the tree, waiting in silence, to be or not to be. The eagle flies over the forest The fox can smell blood The ferret wants to seize the moment and the owl is the new Robin Hood. Hovering over the snake in a fast and accurate flight The smartest among prey today, the owl is the hero who saved the rabbit from death. – Your smile shines you want to seduce me. – Mr. Smith doubted before casting his vote. – I will be transparent, a model to be followed. I represent real change, the leader of the people. ssssss…. – The little bourgeois is happy with what he has. He likes calm waters and is not up for risk. Executives see opportunities, the lobby has a plan, technocracy claims its place and the world needs a new Robin Hood. Firing their arrows against decay. Bringing hope. Bringing all that greed outburst back to life.

Cold water runs and jumps, It flows through tender grass. There’s a world to discover, children playing in the backyard: they hide to reappear. The child is now a boy. A quick learner, changes in voice. From rapids to waterfalls, the young river churns its way, not ever looking back. Not looking back. When the river crosses the valley, it fears the inevitable sea meandering to delay the end. The taste of salt in its mouth. The seagulls eat in its weak current. A strange noise bumps against his heart. Violently, It’s the last emotion. A fresh wind, unknown fishes, waves and waves and endless waves.
7.
Sweat in the month of August, in September the fruit arrives tears appear in October, in November the rain brings the cold. In December, we’re stuck at home, january is silent like snow but I have you, I have you. Ice in the month of February, great storms over the long March. April opens its doors and the sun warms up in May. And you by my side, you by my side We’ll go to the river june and July.

about

[ES]

Estamos muy contentos de presentarles nuestro primer álbum: Test Pressing.

Como muchos de vosotros sabréis, el test pressing es la primera copia que se hacía de un disco de vinilo para comprobar que éste había sido grabado correctamente. Y queríamos usar este concepto por varias razones.

La primera es porque este concepto se refiere a una época en el que las grabaciones fueron hechas en su mayoría en vivo y en pocas tomas, y así lo hemos hecho, grabando los temas que oiréis en directo los días 7 y 8 de abril en los estudios 6db de la mano de nuestro buen amigo Bernat Mateu.

Además, el test pressing es sólo una parte del proceso, trasladando así nuestra manera de entender la música, en la que los temas se hacen líquidos cada vez que los tocamos y se materializan de forma distinta en funcion de hacia donde nos lleva la propia música cuando está viva, que es única mente cuando se interpreta.

Por último, y siguiendo con la idea del work in progress, lo que oiréis en el disco es el fruto de nuestro primer año de trabajo como banda, que queríamos compartir con todos los que actualmente nos seguís y tenéis ganas de escuchar lo que estamos haciendo. Por otro lado algunos de estos temas, de temáticas diversas, serán eventualmente regrabados e irán formando parte de los próximos trabajos que queremos publicar en un futuro.

Deseamos de todo corazón que os guste tanto como nos gusta a nosotros :)

Estem molt contents de presentar-vos el nostre primer disc: Test Pressing.

Com molts de vosaltres sabreu, el test pressing és la primera còpia que es feia d'un disc de vinil per comprovar que aquest s'havia gravat correctament. I nosaltres hem volgut usar aquest concepte per diversos motius.

El primer és perquè el concepte remet a un temps on els enregistraments es feien en la seva majoria en directe i en poques preses, i així ho hem fet nosaltres, gravant els temes que hi sentireu en directe els dies 7 i 8 d'abril als estudis 6db, de la mà del nostre bon amic Bernat Mateu.

A més, el test pressing és només una part del procés, traslladant així la nostra manera d'entendre la música, en la que els temes es fan líquids cada cop que els toquem i es materialitzen de forma diferent en funció de cap a on ens porta la pròpia música quan és viva, que és únicament quan s'interpreta.

Finalment, i seguint amb la idea del work in progress, el que sentireu al disc és el fruit del nostre primer any de treball com a banda, que volíem compartir amb tots els que actualment esteu seguint-nos i amb ganes de sentir el que estem fent. Per altra banda alguns d'aquests temes, de temàtiques diverses, seran eventualment regravats i aniran formant part dels treballs que volem publicar en un futur.

Desitgem de tot cor que us agradi tant com ens agrada a nosaltres :)
