The second single from Aan's forthcoming LP 'Over The Mountain' – out December 6th on Fresh Selects: fsx.lnk.to/laced

"Laced and Lost" is a song about making music. It's about examining what motivates a person to create, what motivates me, and the question "is it intrinsically unethical to make art with no emotional depth?"

Lyrics:

Amputate the heart of it,
I know it can’t be real
Shallow introspection,
So little is revealed
All the little creatures 
 will rot against their will

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

Let me kiss your emptiness,
Your sonic voided space
Your elevator music makes me feel prostrated
If I keep my back against the truth, love
The best all have their backs against some truth

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I could let it go

Anchored in this always, 
I wanted to be there
Hallowed in this ageless place,
I was unprepared
Am I always backed against the truth, love?
The best are always backed against some truth

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

If we’ll never get it right,
It ends tonight

Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I’d let it go

If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I’d let it go

If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
‘Cause damned if I, if I’d let it go

If I’m born to win, don’t let me know
Laced for the greatest race, then lost
If I’m born to win, why am I slow?
Damned if I…

"My Body" is a simple song. It’s gratitude song for my corporeal housing. Like a good leather boot, if you keep it oiled it’ll last a long time.

"My Body" 
Lyrics by Bud Wilson, music by Bud Wilson & Cameron Spies

My body knows
what’s good for me and what is not
My body knows what’s right,
It carries me through the sunshine
Holds me in place,
Shows it on my face
My body knows the weight,
Worn down from a long day

Not crazy, just happy I’m here
No nothingness around me
I’m grateful

My body is all I have,
With me in sunlight
My body knows the night,
Holds me when I feel down

Not crazy, just happy I’m here
No nothingness around me
I’m grateful

"An anxious song about impending doom. Written in the headspace of paranoia regarding 2020’s encroaching wildfires, but vague enough that any ol’ pit of the gut concern can apply."

"Searching For Seams"
Lyrics by Bud Wilson, music by Bud Wilson & Cameron Spies

Power’s out,
Must be over the mountain
Skies ablaze in firelight

Come outside,
Ashes swirl in the hot wind

If in days we find escape, we’ll herald from the hills
Else watch the fallout, other window sills
And lift each other up, we are but human beings,
Searching for seams and pulling at strings

If in days we find escape, we’ll herald from the hills
Else watch the fallout, other window sills
And lift each other up, we are but human beings,
Searching for seams and pulling at strings

Gather what you can carry,
Time to go

If in days we find escape, we’ll herald from the hills
Else watch the fallout, other window sills
And lift each other up, we are but human beings,
Searching for seams and pulling at strings

If in days we find escape, we’ll herald from the hills
And watch the fallout, other window sills
And lift each other up, we are but human beings,
Searching for seams and pulling at strings

But it won’t stop,
‘till it’s under the rain’s shadow
No, it won’t stop
‘till it’s under the rain’s shadow (shadow…)

Must be over the mountain

Must be over the mountain

Lyrics:

Marveled spans in dotted lives
All I am will have failed me there
Camels that trample man’s greatest works
Time levels passion with a smile
Again

Mountains, stars, are all alive and all will die
Set to flames, or blown and erased, it all will die
Slow decline, or flash of light, it all will die
Safe to say, that life is decay and all will die

Time won’t reprieve
 its mysteries
Speculum Aenigmate,
Time won’t reprieve

Mountains, stars, are all alive and all will die
Set to flames, or blown and erased, it all will die
Slow decline, or flash of light, it all will die
Safe to say, that life is decay and all will die

Lyrics:

I’m alright,
I’ll just stay outside 
 under the ice in the autumn light,
I can wait

I’m your dog,
I will be yours here
Lie me down when you need some space,
I can wait

I’m alright,
I’ll just stay outside
Oh, you know each second,
I’m making it up to you, making it up to you

Freedom –
Like a hole too small to crawl through,
Freedom
Freedom –
My heart simply follows you,
Freedom

There’s no pain
Album’s soaked in so much shame,
All my thoughts go out to you
I can wait

‘Cause I’m your dog,
I’m ever patient here
Oh you know, each second,
I’m making it up to you, making it up to you

Freedom –
Like a hole too small to crawl through,
Freedom
Freedom –
My heart simply follows you,
Freedom

You always pull the same way,
Right away on me,
On my orange neon leash, neon leash

Losing My Shadow

Aan "Truly Massive"

A Quest Called Tribe begins with the series of portraits drawn by Stéphane Carricondo in 2017 dedicated to Hip Hop legends.
As close partner in art Medline proposed to create a soundtrack for them, and first interpreting ATCQ's classics with elements of the past, present and future.

The best way to materialize this multidimensional tribute was obviously a vinyl. And it's the one we unveil today.

On the visual side:
ATCQ's portraits are composing the front cover and, assembled into a great scene, are printed on a colorful A2 poster. Stéphane Carricondo's natural lines are highlighting each member's soul map. The alchemy of the dark ink on emptiness gives to them an impressive sparkle of life .

On the musical side:
The classic themes are transformed into a polymorphic fusion, were jazz, funk and soul from the original sample sources converse with Tribe's characteristic beats. Medline added a hint of his magic, unique rhythms, improvisations, arrangements, original orchestration and inspired melodies.

The album is an ode to the band that marked both artist's life and mind. A cultural print and school of sound that designed Hip Hop foundations. With a blooming expression Medline and Stéphane Carricondo are going to the roots of ATCQ in a quest for the tribe.
