Penguin Love

Verse
The sky keeps time with a hidden wheel,
A wobble no clock can hold.
We sail by stars that slowly heal,
While myths retell the cold.
A circle wider than empires rise,
A whisper under stone—
The ages pour from ancient eyes,
And call us further home.
(Precession period ≈ 25,772 years)
(Rate: ω_p ≈ 50.3″/year)

Chorus
Turn the axis, let it sing—
What returns will bloom again.
Count the seasons gods once wore,
Every age becomes a door.
(Angle(t) = Angle₀ + ω_p·t)

Bridge
Night by night we drift in place,
Yet cross a sea of time;
A slow, unlatching calendar—
A pulse too vast to rhyme.

⸻

2) Renaissance Echo

(Rebirths that recur across cultures)

Verse
Light goes out, then learns to glow,
Ink dries—then rivers flow.
Cities fall, but seeds remain,
Truth delays and breaks its chain.
(Suppression → Latency → Emergence)

Chorus
Every silence plants a spark,
Every library finds the dark—
Then dawn returns with open hands,
And remakes maps of sleeping lands.
(If S(t) is stored, then dS/dt → release when threshold > fear)

Bridge
Pages ash to soil to wheat—
Read by hearts with newer feet.

⸻

3) Golden Ratio (The Hidden Measure)

(Nature’s proportion inside art & life)

Verse
From shells to storms to painter’s lines,
A secret breath divides:
A little more than one, it shines,
Where beauty softly hides.
(φ = (1+√5)/2)

Chorus
Hold me at the golden seam,
Let the lesser serve the more;
We grow into the living mean,
And find the open door.
(Fₙ₊₁ = Fₙ + Fₙ₋₁, Fₙ/Fₙ₋₁ → φ)

Bridge
Spiral me by three-one-four,
Then tip me to the φ once more.

⸻

4) Axial Choir

(Many sages, same century—planet speaking in chords)

Verse
Different tongues, one turning year,
Questions bloom in clustered light;
Answers walk from doubt to near,
As if the ground learned how to write.

Chorus
When the world inhales as one,
Many voices, single sun;
Truth converges—spoke by spoke—
On a wheel no empire broke.
(Coherence ↑ when phase alignment → Σ voices / noise)

Bridge
Not a place and not a king—
Just a tuning everything.

⸻

5) Lightning, Fields, and Wire

(The electromagnetic awakening)

Verse
We bottled thunder, drew the veil,
Found the lines the sparrows hail;
Wove the night with humming thread,
Lit the hours the sun once fed.
(Maxwell set:)
(∇·E = ρ/ε₀, ∇·B = 0)
(∇×E = −∂B/∂t, ∇×B = μ₀/ε₀·∂E/∂t + μ₀****J)

Chorus
Field to current, spark to song,
We became the after-dawn;
Lonely cities learned to glow,
Grids became the rivers’ flow.

Bridge
A compass trembled, iron learned—
And darkness lost the war it earned.

⸻

6) Fractals of Suppression

(Truth delayed, never denied)

Verse
They broke the lens to hide the sight,
But truth returns in wider light;
It fragments—then it multiplies,
And paints the air with newer skies.
(Fractal growth: S(λx) = λ^D · S(x))

Chorus
Cut the thread, it weaves again;
Burn the map, it draws the plain.
Every no becomes a seed—
Blooming where the quiet bleeds.

Bridge
All the silenced rivers know—
How to find the sea below.

⸻

7) Quantum Choir

(Physics’ codebook opening like a hymn)

Verse
A quanta hum, a packeted dawn,
A ladder carved in light;
We touched the rules the world puts on,
To hide itself from sight.
(E = h·f) (p = h/λ)

Chorus
Hold uncertainty like grace—
Let the blur become a place.
When you look, the world decides;
Leave it be—its many hides.
(Δx·Δp ≥ ħ/2, ΔE·Δt ≥ ħ/2)

Bridge
Boxes, cats, and spectral lines—
Jokes the cosmos writes in signs.

⸻

8) Great Filters

(Civilizations as cautionary equations)

Verse
Forests cut beyond their will,
Oceans starved and cities still;
When the sum outruns the ground,
History copies warning sound.
(Carrying capacity: if N > K → collapse)

Chorus
Measure plenty, measure need—
Feed the roots before the speed.
If we balance now, we’ll learn
How the wheel forgets to burn.
(dN/dt = rN(1 − N/K))

Bridge
Monuments, like warning buoys,
Blink in storms of borrowed joys.

The Great Year (Precession)  (Earth’s long breath through the ages)

Get It Up (Aurean Remix)

‘Shapes On Shapes’ is the much anticipated debut album from LA based duo Wild & Free. Released this November on Portugal’s Discotexas, ‘Shapes On Shapes’ sees Drew Kramer and George Cochrane deliver on the promise of their early releases with 11 tracks of languorous poolside disco, tropical pop and Balearic house.
 
Both multi-instrumentalists, singers and producers in their own right, the pair came together in 2015 and have spent the past 2 years crafting a series of acclaimed EPs and remixes (for the likes of Panama, Gigamesh, Joe Goddard and Ben Browning of Cut/Copy) that saw them tipped by the likes of Spin, XLR8R, Indie Shuffle and many more and take their live show on the road playing alongside the likes of Brooklyn’s Body Language.

From the album’s opener, and title track, an intoxicating haze of ambient synths, dreamlike vocal samples and reverb drenched guitar licks, its clear Drew and George have stretched themselves to fully embrace the possibilities of the album format. It's also obvious that the band have named themselves well, as throughout the record there’s a looseness and sense of spontaneity that few studio based acts can pull off. 

Whether it’s the sun kissed pop of ‘River of Nilé’ and ‘Moment’, the exotic heady disco of ‘Tropique’ and ‘Ferns and Stuff’ or the dub inflected ‘Hiding Behind the Sun’, ‘Shapes On Shapes’ is one of the most joyous, life affirming albums you’ll hear this year.
