to come back hear again

Tomorrow im dropping a short EP i did with my friend Sani called Cinderella "99
which is a Fairy Tale like story about a girl on her journey to find love 
it was very Bossanova inspired its also one of Sani's favorite strain of herb

but today i share with you a song i wrote last night around 1am
to a loop from The Tallest Man on Earth's - Dreamer 
the song is about loving someone your not 
supposed to touch but hoping one day maybe you'll be able to

"We Cant Touch"

time and time again
i gave you distance 
and you push me away just the same
even when you listen
and i tried to tell you
over and over again that

im loving your love
loving your love
im loving your love
loving your love
loving your love
even when its not enough
im loving your love
loving your love
im loving your love
loving your love
loving your love
even though we cant touch

an you say your heart is going threw motions
an you dont wanna hurt me
so your keepin the temperature low
when im around
but im loving the sound

(Chorus)

an theres nothing i wouldnt do 
n i pray to the moon 
that you come threw
cause i been waiting for someone like you
n i pray someday you say

that your loving my love 
loving my love

LYRICS: 

Ride that whip on over to me
haven’t seen you in a minute homie all the possibilities we got
to make this world shine
You and I
we are infinite come sit with it
feel those vibrations
feel how we radiate that hope and salvation
babies be depending on us we finna save them 
liberate them 
rid this world of all subjugation 
Cuz

[Refrain]
We got power
We got power
We got power
Black power
(repeat 2x)

And we got love

They try to make us hate each other
They try to make us hate ourselves
But we be fighting strong together 
ancestors watching on, they watching on forever
They can’t take away our love
They can’t take away our creativity
They can’t take away our resilience 
Our ability to rise up defy all reality 
Cuz 

[Refrain]

(Ethos)
This a Black familial act
bursting with raw melanin from freedom feet to nigga naps
Our energy frequencies infinite 
we the beginning middle and the end
middle passage in our stomachs built the country on our backs
Hips, lips, thighs remind me of Black Girl Magic
passion power to the people in our earth-toned fashion
got a spiritual attachment
sacred sun-kissed skin
booming rhythm
seeping through us
Ancestors smiling we some Black love warriors
innovative anti-system ain’t no controlling us
resourceful, hyper vulnerable
in tune with the Earth and the spirits that’s informing us
to pimp a butterfly everyting’ll turn out glorious
Love locs and box braids sage burning on the stereo
sit firm with our roots
give all praises to above
Black is human
Black Power
most important
Black Love 

[Refrain]

I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win 


We Got Power (feat. Ethos)

What Now?

Jon Bap - Don't Run Into The Dark So Quick

'A Stranger Spring' is the lead single from Honey Oat's self-titled debut album, due out 3/15 via Astro Nautico on cassette and all digital platforms.

Honey Oat

Honey Oat - A Stranger Spring

Admiring traditions of jazz, funk, and Shona music while pulsing with post-genre nuance, the duo of old friends known as Honey Oat is drawing silk diagrams of oblique time through sound.

Honey Oat’s tiered walls of vocal layerings and blissful Wurlitzer glissandi condense into clouds of complex melodic residue. Gabe Stout’s evocative jazz drumming clusters together beats of improbability and wonder, a bedrock for his own tenderly leaping falsettos. In tandem, Janak JP paints timescapes with an electric piano, coursing through progressive jazz and keys-forward pop features with fluidity. In intimate cross-chatter, Honey Oat activates intensities ranging from knuckles-on-the-keys vamps (‘Wonder In Sights’) to delicate, youthful lullabies (‘Wallpaint’) and levels in between.

In and around core duets of Wurlitzer and traps, Honey Oat weaves a dotted arrangement of musical idiosyncrasies. On ‘Loopspool,’ between sustained synthesizer mid tones and a three-over-two hosho ostinato, a driving impulse emerges that conveys an ever-peaking and ever-evolving emotional state. The collaboration of rapper Maassai on ‘A Small Piece Of String’ disperses a sense of calm against ring-modulated synth leads that drone like the landing of a UFO. ‘Lizard Brain’ and ‘Wallpaint’ call out to Shona music, the Zimbabwean tradition Stout and JP have studied since they met in a marimba class at age 6. Today, continuing to write with the mbira and marimba helps Stout and JP to ground and celebrate their bond of mutual creative becoming, which has lasted nearly a lifetime.

Honey Oat’s debut album renders time wavering and unpredictable. The music sits still as much as it departs in oneiric spirals. Against the current of social media and its loops of endless replayability, Honey Oat’s music sits with hyperlocal remembrance, spontaneity: the mortality of the moment. (“I’m gonna find me a stranger from a past life and hope that you remember me / When you get gone”) What must be forgotten to remember? Pockets of crooked temporality bead into capsules of emotional clarity on the brink of annihilation: “I will not forget you / But you will forget me / When I disappear.”

Honey Oat - Loopspool

My boy lunathi and I where talking about making music
And how we write too many love songs
We spoke about how it's always the same thing.. And is the first thing that comes to mind when making a song
It's hard to write about life and your thoughts
But love is easy

This is another love song I guess
But this time I meant it

Love you lunathi.

Astro Nautico’s Atlantics X is a compilation celebrating a decade of the label’s existence and fundraising to provide financial assistance for its community members impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

A wide range of beloved artists return to the label, including Photay, Time Wharp, Honey Oat, Michael Beharie, Lee Clarke, IGBO, Tatiana Heuman, Persona La Ave & Baraka, Andre Wiken, Basile3, and C. Form. Label co-founders Paul Jones (P X A), Sam O.B., and Kuhn all contribute new music in the tradition of the original Atlantics Vol. 1-3 compilations (’09-’13).

Astro Nautico’s first all-label compilation since 2013’s Atlantics Vol. 3, Atlantics X serves as an index of the artistic and curatorial development of a ten-year exploration of the interstices of genres, moods, and modes of musical creation.

From Photay’s chirping, thunderous dark mechanics on ‘Sea Urchin’ to Time Wharp’s feather light synth meditation ‘12-31-12,’ dynamic curves traverse a terrain of many sounds at many plateaus. Pop experimentalism in Michael Beharie, IGBO, and Sam O.B. sets a heartbeat that cracks, melts, and is resampled in the shattered electronics of Tatiana Heuman and fragmentary lo-fi trap of Kuhn, while Andre Wiken and C. Form differently treat the dancefloor as a space of reverie and intrigue.

Atlantics X is a crowning jewel of the mutual aid fund and fundraising campaign of the same name. Astro Nautico initiated this fundraiser in spring in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. All sales and streams of the Atlantics X compilation support members of the label's community with financial needs due to Covid-19. Since May, the label has published 12 projects, from singles and EPs to albums and contemplative dance videos, in this series. Astro Nautico has distributed $4,262.65 to date to fund recipients, with priority to BIPOC recipients.

More information and donation links for the Atlantics X mutual aid fund are available on GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/atlanticsx
