Surrogate Victim

Love to me is just a crime 
Of passion wrapped inside
A strong 
desire to be
What the other needs

And you and me
We’re gonna fight 
With each other till we’ll die
Alone
Together you’ll see
What was in between so

Alimony 
Acrimony
Tender love and kisses
Loyalty
And joy
And secrets Kept 
And promises 
Stayed broken

Parenthood
And virtual protection
Coup and fear and insurrection 
All I see is one direction
Due to your 
Habituation 
Capitalistic creation
(So)ciety’s first big sensation 
Aforementioned good intention
They won’t mention your protection:

Alimony
Alimony
Alimony
Alimony

Love to me 
Isn’t a crime
It’s a passion 
Built inside
Our own
Desire to be
Who were gonna be 
And you, and me
We’re gonna ride 
With the other till we die
Avowed
Together you’ll see
Who were gonna be

Black James

The first single, Nile Delta Blues, is an organic house banger with plenty of live instrument recordings from the duo, bespoke percussion-triggered synths and finessed production techniques. It also features guest BTM member, Ronnie Malley on the Oud.

Let this one take you back to the shores of the Nile's extinct Ahramat branch, as you nostalgically long for what this riverside landscape would have looked like when the Egyptian pyramids were constructed.
