Quiet Night

After releasing his sophomore album ‘Quiet Bloom’ in 2020 Minais B is ready to unfold his next musical chapter. An album of delicate, instrumental music that revolves around loss, longing and love. 

On ‘The Ghost Duets’ Minais B weaves together the realms of the inner and outer worlds, seamlessly blending organic sensibilities with programmed patterns. Through the the ethereal notes of synthesizers and the rhythmic resonance of homemade percussion, Minais B crafts mournful moments that encapsulate the intricate duality and ecstatic solitude of the individual.

The idea of the duet is a continuous theme. A saxophone plays with its own ghost, an electric keyboard sings on top of a river and synthesizers chat, sing and yawn in duet with each other, sometimes melancholic, other times joyful and uplifting. At times it feels like humming along with your loved ones and at other it feels more like humming along with yourself. 

The album is released via Minais B’s own imprint Anyines, known for supporting the experimental galaxies that the local scene embodies, with releases such as the acclaimed ML Buch sophomore, ‘Skinned’ and the iconic Jura debut ‘Formality Jerne-Site’.

PIGGY BLONDE
Gotta take care of what you eat,
here's the finest piece of meat.
You were just a child, child,
with a heart so big and tender,
it would take up your whole chest,
but your mom knows what's the best for you.

Men are made of many parts,
mom would feed you piggy hearts,
they would merge with yours,
until you got no space for lungs,
and your face got red and swollen from no breathing.

You got this undecided look,
with your eyes almost not there.
What's this color of your hair?

Piggy Blonde,
Piggy Blonde,
you're no Iggy,
you're no Bond,
run run as fast as you can,
the wolves will get your sorry ass,
run run run!

Hey there Piggy! What's the deal?
Wishing you would disappear?
Better stop now what you're doing,
'cause it really gets you nowhere...

Remember when you cut your hand
and there came a flood,
and your wound rained piggy blood,
everyone could see that,
don't you try to fool yourself now thinking,
you would get help from sinking.

Dream are only dreams,
piggies don't grow into wolves.
What's the status of your goals?

Piggy Blonde,
Piggy Blonde,
you're no Iggy,
you're no Bond,
run run as fast as you can,
the wolves will get your sorry ass,
run run run...

run run run...

Lyrics:

Verse (1)

She loves the sunlight
how it paints on her soft skin
takes care of those tan line
scar tissue from the morphine

Hook

Baby don't you know you are stardust
and you're a long long way from home, way from home
(So) Baby brush it off like it's sawdust
or you'll spend the California days alone, days alone.

those California Girls got me outside all night

this is the last straw
take it off
this is the last straw
why don't you take it all

Verse (2)

She ain't never seen the zoo
with the monkey on her back
they'd arrest her at the booth
and then sell her to the lab
put a label on the box that says
treat is like it's glas
if she gets one scratch her parents
never take her back
to be honest
she's a liar full of promise
she thinks her Rolex makes her timeless.
her famous friends think she's harmless
I'd burn the bridge with her on it.

(California girls got me outside all night)

Pinned down, pinnacle
she looks like a centerfold sinner, cynical (baby)
Oh my, make her moan, amateur, barritone
sex drive, like animals (baby)

Outro

Ooh how I like the smell of west coast pheromones (2x)
she smells like west coast pheromones (2x)

Anne-Marie - Gemini

You're not sure why you decided to come alone to this karaoke bar. A sudden desire for people-watching, you suppose. You don't sing anything, just nurse a drink near the back. For the first half-hour, nothing out of the ordinary happens. Then, another spectator, one you've noticed hovering by a side wall, takes the stage. A slightly tinny drum machine comes forth from the P.A. The song is instantly familiar, but you can't quite place it. It must be some mostly-forgotten hit from the '80s that you haven't heard in years. At first, the singer's delivery is as shy as you'd expect from a fellow wallflower. But slowly, you come to perceive a deep, quiet confidence in his voice. He obviously knows the song by heart. He occupies it as if it were home. Actually, you think his rendition might be truer than the original performer's, although you still can't recall who that was. Although it might just be your second drink taking effect, you've almost begun to suspect that there is no original, that the enigma on the stage in this unremarkable bar, is, somehow, performing an entirely new song for the very first time. As the tempo slows and he begins to gently croon the next track, you become sure. By some weird turn of Lynchian magic, this man on the stage has reshaped the room to his will, coaxing his own private music out of the karaoke machine.

This is the kind of scenario one imagines when listening to Better Person's smoke machine pop. His (Adam Byczkowski) enigmatic stage presence is matched by his elusiveness as a recording artist output: while he's already toured with the wonderful Canadians TOPS and Timber Timbre, and as keyboard/guitarist with Sean Nicholas Savage, at six tracks It's Only You is his longest release, encompassing the critically acclaimed singles “Sentiment” and “I Wake Up Tired.”

While the EP's sonic touchstones – torch songs, Sade, Arthur Russell, synthed-up European and Japanese pop from the 80s, French and Italian movie soundtracks – are all unimpeachably romantic, there's a more Romantic undercurrent of isolation that begins from the way It's Only You was made – all recorded on a computer at home, on Berlin's Pannierstrasse (the same street where Magic Island's Wasted Dawn was recorded last year.) The title itself casually, elegantly captures the paradoxical phase shift which occurs when the movement toward closeness becomes a plunge into solitude. It's Only You is the sound of turning down the mood lighting so low you're no longer sure if anyone else is there.

The transmutation of being-alone-with into being-alone ignites a fixation on memory, and most especially on its entanglement with place. On repeated listens, It's Only You slowly reveals itself as a work of (self-imposed) exile behind a facade of seduction. In the aftermath of intimacy, one is left with only sensual remnants - smell leads to memory (“I found a smell that takes me home,” Byczkowski sings in opener “Somebody Cares”) and memories, of home and of people, lead to the question of place and belonging. In “Somebody Cares,” “I found a smell that takes me home” leads into “I try to notice all the things around” - reminiscence of there demands attention to here – but he concludes “God only knows where I'm gonna live.” “I Wake Up Tired” features the plaintive request “Show me a place / where I feel home;” while the refrain in “Everything Cold” asks the question on the mind of every expatriate in Berlin: “Why is everything closed on Sunday night?” In the still astonishing “Sentiment,” the singer is left unsure of his identity, with only sentiment remaining, precisely because he will “never be from here.” The real revelation of It's Only You may however be the closing track “Your Smell” which, atop a tragicomically funky shuffle, wraps in a cocoon of beautiful confusion all of Byczkowski's themes: lost love, lost locales, and finding oneself again, fleetingly, provisionally, in their pursuit.
