"They Call Him Sunlight, They Call Him the Eagle"

Säure Adler was founded back in 2012 in the psychedelic city of Poznań, Poland, by A.J. Kaufmann (voice, acoustic guitar, songwriter) and Kacper Wojaczek (keyboards). The duet played psychedelic folk with poetic lyrics, releasing material independently on bandcamp, performing gigs wherever possible. In 2015 Kacper Wojaczek left, being replaced by Radu Rusanu (keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar). The band switched directions into a more full-on krautrock / psychedelic rock sound continuing releasing new materials on bandcamp. In 2016 Radu Rusanu was replaced by Luna Lenina (bass guitar, drum machines), and the band re-located to London. The new line-up recorded the "Street Dada Brutalismus" album, which is still available on the band's bandcamp site. In 2018 Säure Adler joined the German netlabel Aumega Project, Germany's leading label for krautrock and psychedelic music and atmospheres, releasing among others the "Pilzmusik" album in early 2019. Also in 2019 A.J. tried to get the band back to their roots with various sessions in limited line-ups (duets), and the sessions brought the "acid eagle" back to their hometown of Poznań with new, highly psychoactive sounds. The band is still active, releasing material on bandcamp, and now, thanks to Ramble Records, their debut album titled simply "Säure Adler" appears on vinyl. The eagle logo design is by long-time friend of the band, Mr. Justin Jackley. Currently Mr. Kaufmann and Mrs. Wunderlicht are in the process of organizing new sessions and gigs for their original Kosmische Punkmusik sound visions.

a light shown over my grave

Mostly just me playing about, but there's a bit of Charlie Villiers' guitar in there too, notably giving the outro a little touch of class.

~Lyrics~
We were sitting in your back garden 
Clouds were drifting across the sky 
You turned to me and smiled
I think you had a tear in your eye
And then taking my hand you whispered,
“When I get this high,
I sometimes get the feeling I might be just about to die!”

Then with a shrug of your shoulders 
You told us about the butterflies
That there’s no way of them knowing
That their wings look like eyes
And if you consider the caterpillar
It’ll come as no surprise
Just how very little we all know about our lives

[Chorus]
Baby you kill me, all night long
Baby you’re killing it all night…

Later on that evening
the sun was streaming through the trees
You have to just surrender to life
At moments like these
We were kicking through the fallen leaves
In the pale winter sun
And though I tried to hide it, I always knew this day would come

I recall the very moment 
You didn’t even hesitate
It was written in the heavens
And written all over your face
But the storm is in the distance
The sky is a luminous pink
You can lead me like a horse to water…

[Chorus]
🎸 🤩

Baby You Kill Me

'cultiver notre jardin' was written and produced for the inaugural TAETRO Community Garden Challenge in partnership with Musio. the seeds for this track come from Musio's high-quality library of sounds and the specific sounds are noted below.

the song was inspired most by the fact that this is for the Community Garden. in addition to the on-the-nose reference to a garden, you may notice it’s also referencing the famous line from Voltaire’s ‘Candide’. TAETRO has helped foster a community that feels at the core like an emphasis on creating and growing something beautiful and substantive while putting negativity aside. it seemed appropriate for the track and community garden—take your few acres, and make that your focus. i hope you enjoy!
