Download link: https://bandspectra.bandcamp.com/track/human-reciprocator-feat-the-anchoress

I'M A TRAINED ORATOR
A SKILLED MANIPULATOR
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WANT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
I SEE THEM SCRAPING ON THEIR KNEES
THEY RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WORK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I’M A PUBLIC SPEAKER
FORGIVE MY MISDEMEANOURS
MY MASCULINITY - A CRUTCH FOR MEDIOCRITY 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO BEG FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

I AM A NATURAL LEADER
YOU ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
SO DON’T LISTEN TO RUMOUR
(WELL DRESSED LIKE THAT WOULD YOU BELIEVE HER?)
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO REPENT FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I HAVE ALL THE DATA
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
I HAVE FRIENDS IN SUCH HIGH PLACES
THAT MY PRIVILEGE ERASED IT
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ANSWER FOR A THING IN MY LIFE

I CAN RADIATE IT
I WON’T RECIPROCATE IT
I WILL ASK OF YOU THE THINGS I’LL NEVER EVER EVER DO
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR
HUMAN RECIPROCATOR

I'M A SKILLED ORATOR
A TRAINED MANIPULATOR
I SEE THEM FALLING AT MY FEET
THE MAN THE WOMEN WANT TO MEET
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO ASK FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

WHILE YOU WERE BRED FOR FOOD BANKS
I WAS BORN INTO THE RANKS
I SEE YOU SCRAPING ON YOUR KNEES
YOU RECOGNISE I’M THE ELITE 
NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER HAD TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

Two Faced Feat Window Kid

Our soul searching Pop/Rock Song with the potent feel and flavor of a timeless spiritual chant, with painfully honest, vivid dream sequence lyrics, a huge chorus and a bittersweet melody asking you: “How long Can We Hang?” written and recorded in Northampton, Berlin and London. Accompanied by artistic lucid dream style video, feeding an Ai with the lyrics that translates the words into morphing shapes and pictures of unconscious hallucinations.

How Long Can We Hang?(Radio Edit)

Dark night – it’s the shortest day of the year
Moonlight – is all the light we need 
Frostbite – crystal roses on the windshield 
Snow White – your stepmom is the Evil queen 
Three Kings – following a star 
Tracked down – by the one named Balthazar
Shepherds – gathering round this newborn child 
While the Angels – drinking wine and gettin high 

Ref: Watch What You Wish For … 
The World’s getting colder … 
It’s Not Happy Christmas …  
This War Isn’t Over … 

Break: I hear missiles 
exploding in our Christmas tree  
While we’re kissing 
by the mistletoe – just  you and me

Watch What Your Wish For!

Ex en Provence Bio

is a collaboration between Songwriters Samuel Deschamps and Jan Blumentrath who met whilst sharing stages and line-ups with their former bands La Shark and the Intergalactic Republic of Kongo / Eliot Sumner.

An instant mutual respect was born from each bands abilities to put on wild and spectacular live shows and after several chats back-stage they decided to meet up. 

In their studio, a former jewish gym under a snookerhall in Stoke Newington, they set up a room full of synthesisers and have been dreaming up a new sound ever since.

Since then the two have collaborated regularly as writers and producers for a diverse range of artists.

After 5 years, several hundred Demos and much shapeshifting in style genre and concept, it took a global pandemic and a growing tempestuous climate to discover what the glue was within the project.

Singer, Samuel’s French heritage by way of Marseille and summers of teenage nostalgia inspired the play on words ‘Ex en Provence’ but we intend  for the name to ignite the romantic escapism within us all.
