about

note to listener: listen to this one with a soft/low level

lyrics

unsaid:
différence entre le mal être et six pieds sous terre...
vouloir y être, ne plus respirer.

quelque chose de lourd, incapacité
à voir la beauté autour

état où l’électricité n’est plus,
ni le fourmillement d’idées, d’envies, de sensations, de connections... courant coupé, âme vidée

buée sur les yeux, le coeur engourdi
l’espoir en souvenir, l’avenir en détresse

penser aux autres, aux plus malheureux
compassion ultime, coeurs sur nos mains
faut bien fonctionner...

imagine tes sens, éveillés, exacerbés
imagine ta peau disparue, chair à vif
et le monde comme du sel qui brûle
qui demande “qu’est-ce qui va pas?”

english:
unsaid:
difference between mal-being (feeling unwell) and feeling six feet under ground... wanting to be there, not breathing.

something heavy, inability
to see beauty around

state where the electricity is gone,
nor the tingling of ideas, the desires, sensations, connections... current cut off, soul drained

mist on the eyes, numb heart
hope as memory, future as distress,

thinking of others, of the most unfortunate
ultimate compassion, hearts on our hands
we have to function...

imagine your senses, awake, heightened
imagine your skin gone, flesh raw
and the world like burning salt
asking "what's wrong?"

Arold Flinter is an interesting producer with just two albums released in a decade. Both are gems though! Double the Mascaret, also my favourite of the three. Kochan

A Queen of modular synthesis is at work here. Fat, dark, layered synths, a driving, punchy bass range and satisfyingly dramatic arrangements. Tim Heiler

Clever electronics that melted me completely. There is something special about the unobtrusive structures that vibrate around the straight bass drum. Balzy
