It's All Good Man

My Bed Of Embers

try again it'll be okay
just follow through, what else could you do?

try again, one of these days you're bound to get it
otherwise, one of these days you're bound to regret it

try again, gonna be hard to find a way to achieve it
find a way, excuses will only break it away from you

try again
the only way that you're gonna make it

Try Again

Les Polyphonies De Navarro

World Building

Through Towers

Sine-toned I'm feeling too tapped
My hands spew from a steel gash
It stares back with a big laugh
Splits me into three halves
None for me/Three for you
Never knew if I could get back
To when I never thought about that
But everyone's tired in a big city
'cept all my friends are looking so pretty
Yeah that's you
One for me/Two for you

It's a deep cut that doesn't bleed
All life in a concrete canopy
Tried to cauterize, left no luck in my cosmic lottery
And when we know we've had enough
We're blowing bubbles from handcuffs

Triturated any leisure that I know
Manipulate the chains to form a joy 
Limitations made into a toy
All for me/None for you

It's a deep cut that doesn't bleed
All life in a concrete canopy
Tried to cauterize, left no luck in my cosmic lottery
And when we know we've had enough
We're blowing bubbles from handcuffs

Test site mannequins
Nuked and they look up
We're riding the bomb
Blowing bubble from handcuffs
Models that play them 
Too pretty to look up
We stay aplomb
Blowing bubbles from handcuffs

It's a deep cut that doesn't bleed
All life in a concrete canopy
Tried to cauterize, left no luck in my cosmic lottery
And when we know we've had enough
We're blowing bubbles from handcuffs

Shit gets so depraved

The metaphorical visual of hard, cold, steel cuffs being made into a tool of producing round, vulnerable fun and all of the ways this can be translated and applied to. A means of inverting the pitfalls of modernity to create.

DJ Lostboi & Torus - The Flash

https://sitequeeste.bandcamp.com/album/the-flash
Available 24 January 2020 on LP and digital platforms. 

Following 2019’s hibernation, Queeste reappears with the mnestic soundscapes of DJ Lostboi and Torus’ split album The Flash. Across eight gossamer evocations—four from each artist—the duo reflect on individual journeys from airport to sea during the blissful embers of fading summer. Their gaze expands and contracts naturally with passing locations but lingers on the titular flash, what the two artists describe as “the rare sight of the sun giving off a bright green lightburst into the horizon.”

Made up of sounds sourced and appropriated from these commutes—pop music heard on the radio, jumbled street recordings, and everyday technological objects—The Flash evokes the melancholic pull of such recollections without ever succumbing to nostalgia. The moments eked from these samples stretch into quiet eternity—still and suspended—while retaining their quotidian, terrestrial qualities.

DJ Lostboi successfully refines the warped atmospherics heard on his previous edits of pop, rap, and emo. First track ‘Open World’ welcomes listeners with lapping waves and plaintive wavering tones—like a glittering video game environment—until real life interrupts on ‘Ordinary People’ as an automated answer phone message: an unknown voice lets out a weary sigh. Its foggy pianos and soft vocals offer melody and buoyancy where ‘LB 100’ circles on moody, dream-like pads. We follow the artist’s oceanic voyage to its culminating trance-like shimmers which dissolve into cool water: reflective, endless, yet ultimately hopeful.

Netherlands-based Torus foregoes the dancefloor dynamics of 2016’s Engine Malfunction for a series of calmer, cloudless drifts. On ‘Enter The Sun’—a sparse, yearning composition—washes of noise and clipped auto-tuned vocals pulse over a haunting refrain until ‘Pier’ arrives with whirring engines, sweet birdsong, and decaying synths. The album’s lightest piece comes with the skipping ‘Radiate 540’—euphoric dance minus the kick—which rises from a muffled human interaction until slow motion cinematics signal the trip’s end: ‘Arrival’ collapses into the sea elegantly mirroring DJ Lostboi’s final track.

Despite its hushed ambience, The Flash is an album committed to forward momentum. Each composition reveals a discrete chapter of DJ Lostboi and Torus’ journey building to a moment of bittersweet ascension. The results of such heartfelt wandering recall the spatial dynamics of The KLF’s zoned post-rave landscapes but these works flicker with thoroughly modern paraphernalia and emotions.

Trying to understand what’s next
And They said. They said
That I have to die. I have to die

Lyrics:
Banjohmin
We’re the second best act on off-topic
Right behind Flobots, the show stoppers
But let’s be honest
They just want to viley-violate the violinist
Rider her with one hand on the bar,
the other on Andy’s guitar
(Operate her please)
They might be able to ride a bike with no handlebars
But I’ve got a handlebar moustache—that’s flyer than hipster kicks and tight jeans

Got a five year old strapped down in my limousine
But it ain’t like that—I’m just buying him an ice cream
Maybe if were more political
An elliptical trainer for your political brain
But we keep it underground like the terror train
Way back when we weren’t even men
The Pickled Poet had a chance but blew it
There wasn’t a Project Blowed here
Still the object was so near, of his desire

Then it slipped through his fingers, tore them to shreds like barbed wire;
So now he’s a hard liar trapped on a tight rope
Without an option to elope
But I’ll let you in on a secret, and I quote:
I killed the pickled poet
(and he don’t even know it)
That’s just how the story goes, no second chances, so bring on the sell-out slutty backup dancers.

John
I am nothing
But a train and
I assume that
You don't like me

I'm insane but
Not yet crazy
I will never let you go

Banjohmin
Maybe if we sampled lyrics and not music we’d be famous
But maybe we’re just too heinous
Taking you on a train ride you’ll never forget
The seats made out of rock hard flesh
Sit down and you’re bound to get wet,
If not Chris Brown’ll beat you to death
On the terror train—giving the safety rails brain, everybody’s drowning in golden rain.

John
Enjoy the ride you'll stay with me
Stay with me
I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you

Because it's Beaver
No, not the woman kind
I really gotta go, I just saw the time

Sorry if I dissapointed you in bed
I'll be quiet going out, just lay and rest your head

Because it's Sleave 3
No, not the other song
I really gotta go, it's the end of the song

Sorry if I disappointed you Richard
I'll be quiet going out, just a reference ahead

Big Boss & Solid Snake
IT'S NOT OVER YET
NOT OVER YET
YOU JUST MADE A BET THAT IT WOULD BE OVER
BUT IT'S NOT OVER YET
