Backs 04:44
You are here right now I am not alone whoever you are I don’t really care you lay down on the floor and you ask for a massage this place isn’t yours, no It’s been the same mechanism for a dozen years some backs are smaller, some are wider and ears at times wear rings it’s been the same mechanism for a dozen years some hair is shorter, some is longer some mouths whisper dirty things oh yes, they do You’re all white with body lotion my hands slide up your back I’m kissing your neck we keep a slow but steady motion It’s been the same mechanism for a dozen years some backs are smaller, some are wider and ears at times wear rings it’s been the same mechanism for a dozen years some hair is shorter, some is longer some mouths whisper dirty things oh yes, they do You’re still here, but you'll be gone and I’ll be wide awake unable to sleep at 2:15 a.m. I know I will be scared and I’ll wish the night away for the loneliness to fade

The Bitters 03:20
We rode our bikes to the lake twenty-odd fifteen-year-olds with booze and camping gear the burning afternoon sun began to sink we were sweaty and in need for a drink I'd got hold of an Italian bitters shared with the girls admired their curls and after we'd quenched our thirst Everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold We got out of the lake and went into the nearby woods found a cherry farm, climbed its fences and didn't do any good the fruits we stole were still sour when we returned to the campsite we threw the cherries in the lake and again Everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold We got out and shared towels (what was new to me…) we got dry and shared blankets (…was the collective nudity) I wasn't in love but in need for a body to hold, for a body to hold me I wasn't in love but in need for lips to kiss, for lips to kiss me Everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold everyone took off their clothes and got in the water that was still quite cold Tout le monde se déshabille

about

¡Son Turistas!

Yulie’s fragile, honest and unpretentious drawings of different states of the soul and interpersonal intimacy are joined by Henrik’s deeply Scandinavian, mostly sad and melancholic songs. Yet the band performs their material with the brightest smile and grin, which pretty much portrays the down- and the upside of life and everything. Melancholicious. Not exactly a walk in the park. ... more
