Remember your face Take you off the shelf Sort all the colours Define some new space And another world Gracefully unfolds I’m swallowing the dust I’m scraping off the rust New dimensional trust Remember your name Think time is to blame For the fading sight Places ain’t the same Remember your voice Among all the noise I’m swallowing the dust I’m scraping off the rust New dimensional trust New dimensional trust

Build me like a factory Load me from your battery Fill me with your energy Grow me like a willow tree A willow tree Save me erase history Help me recall gravity Make me upgrade for free Lift me from my own body My own body My own body

Without a move, without a sound Gravity keeps me on the ground You cheer me up to shoot me down My heart is the heaviest moon in town You didn’t have to hide your face Fingerprints all over the place But there’s no weapon, no weapon to be found My obsession got me lost in the crowd Without a move, without a sound Gravity keeps me on the ground You cheer me up to shoot me down My heart is the heaviest moon in town We’ve all reached that point once When we have to choose Whether we learn, whether we lose You didn’t have to hide your face Fingerprints all over the place But there’s no weapon, no weapon to be found My heart is the heaviest moon in town The heaviest moon in town We’ve all reached that point once When we have to choose Whether we learn, whether we lose

Relationship as a straight line, as an addiction It’s coming back all over again I think I get it right I should have been no good I didn’t want no fight I should have been just rude You keep on staring at me I’m getting crazy Relationship as a straight line, as an addiction It’s coming back all over again Why did I pick you up How did I find you out I needed to get hurt Some vicious circle from the start You keep on staring at me I’m getting crazy You keep on staring at me I’m getting crazy Relationship as a straight line, as an addiction It’s coming back all over again Relationship as a straight line, as an addiction It’s coming back all over again Relationship as a straight circle Relationship as a straight circle Relationship as a straight circle

a sailor 03:56
Hey, it’s been a while It’s been a while since we last hung out together Sometimes I wonder how you would feel now If you had sticked around Would you have played drums on this song ? What songs would we have written together ? How close would we stand ? It’s temporary of course but You’re out of reach now Like a sailor who fell from grace with the sea Like a sailor who fell from grace with the sea Like a sailor who fell from grace with the sea Like a sailor A sailor

temp 03:18
The feeling’s coming back I’m giving up for sure Self-control stepping back Ambiguous behavior The feeling’s coming back The feeling’s coming back Deconstructed Burned out Deconstructed Fragmented experience Incomplete riddance You came crashing at my temporary folder The feeling’s coming back Recalling good old ghosts Restoring classified loss Importing useless lacks The feeling’s coming back Deconstructed Burned out Deconstructed Saved as images Fragmented experience Incomplete riddance Fragmented experience Incomplete riddance You came crashing at my temporary folder

superstrings 02:53
One of these days organs will break My heart will beat up the skin Superstrings blow the winds I need to sail out to you Set my land Set my soul Afire Set my land Set my soul Afire One of these nights when it sounds right My hands will play on your skin Superstrings blow the winds I need to sail out to you Set my land Set my soul Afire Afire Set my land Set my soul Afire Afire Set my land Set my soul Afire Afire Afire

It is no fairy tale There is no carousel It is no angel’s spell There is no jingle bell It is a red red world Where straight lines are all curved It is a dancing swirl Get ready and get burned Find it out Sort it out Find it out Sort it out Find it out Sort it out Find it out Sort it out

Wasting time, gaining some Like an average hand Outer space, inner grace This is where I stand Walking by, standing in line Whichever will be fine Oh fine Wasting time, gaining some Like an average hand Outer space, inner grace This is where I stand Walking by, standing in line Whichever will be fine Wasting time, gaining some Like an average hand Outer space, inner grace This is where I stand

about

Un premier jet sans concession, le maître d'oeuvres de Song Namo, Philippe Thiphaine (Heliogabale), s'ingénie ici à trancher à grand coups d'électricité des paysages à l'hypnose latente mais aux détours inattendus. Riffs lourds ou fulgurants, motifs assénés ou thèmes élégants, la guitare emporte la mise, bâtissant des architectures à la fausse simplicité, fondations puissantes où explosent des fureurs soudaines, des voies de traverse insoupçonnées. Le son brûlant, proto noise, est parcouru par une voix délibérément a-mélodique et solitaire, racontée, scandée, hurlée, psalmodiée et qui renvoie au titre de l'ouvrage, Unmistakably Human. Un album assumé qui s'écoute d'une traite. Laissez-vous happer, sans retenue, vous ne le regretterez pas... Électrique je vous dis !
