Here it is, the second major project from Impermanence: Somniferum. 

This was a project that got me through a real tough time, working on it has kept me going through a very brutal chest infection. A lot of the lyrics are about The struggles of being unwell, both physically and mentally, while also touching on a lot of the things that have kept me going through this. Musically I’ve gone back to the sort of sound I started out with. Taking massive influence from dream pop and shoegaze bands like MBV, Candy Claws and Slowdive and mixing it with the cloud rap sounds of rappers I love like 6 Dogs, Bladee and Black Kray. I’ve always felt there’s a strong overlap with these genres and I hope this mixtape can show the flexibility of the cloud rap sound. 

I’d like to give a massive shout out to my two best friends, Channce and Greenley for allowing me to constantly bother them with song drafts and ideas. Their support and advice has been absolutely essential to giving me the confidence and drive to smash this tape out. Thank you guys, I really mean it.

You can buy the mixtape on my Bandcamp if you wish to support me. In doing so you'll receive full liner notes, link here: https://impermanence108.bandcamp.com/album/somniferum

Or just send a one off thank you through PayPal. I know times are tough for everyone but any material support is very much appreciated. I hope you enjoy listening to this mixtape as much as I enjoyed making it and I hope it can be there for you the same way it’s been there for me. Let me know what you think through comments and like your favourite tracks!

Tonight

7 o'clock in the morning with an ocean of tears
we should have been pretty, but reality mourned
shadows growing on the back of the door

Words hurled like daggers projecting fears
shredding eachother into million pieces
Scars of misunderstanding formed

A silent tension camouflaged a deadly minefield
Polluting our judgements of right and wrong
even the time feared to move along

still 7 o'clock hope fled the dreaded battlefield
we're craving for love, but affection is gone
we're stuck in this place for far too long

so what's the point of our constant fight
we got burned so many times
so much pressure, so much anger
we shouldn't be allowed
so farewell to the love we knew,
And the time has come to face our crimes
let me fade away
let me be another face in the crowd

severly damaged, i need a place to retreat
searching for silence to ease and calm down
figuring out why my mind has doubts

strong fears and worries of being incomplete
are drowning my soul in a sea of sadness
but is our love worth so many downs

finally found the strength to mend my heart's mistake
I broke the chain that kept my mind in minor
putting my scattered pieces back together

draining my sea of sadness before it's too late
having loved, but now we're done
it's okay to let go of each other

so what's the point of our constant fight
we got burned so many times
so much pressure, so much anger
we shouldn't be allowed
so farewell to the love we knew,
And the time has come to face our crimes
let me fade away
let me be another face in the crowd

Guajira en el río va de la búsqueda de colores y alegría en las raíces cubanas. Va de la búsqueda más hacia dentro que hacia afuera. Va de las ganas de quedarse y no de irse. Va de una guajira mojada y floreciendo en el río.

BIO: Adrian Aguiar es un joven guitarrista cubano con influencias del jazz, la música clásica, bossa nova y géneros de la música cubana y latina. Comenzó sus estudios de violonchelo en el Conservatorio Alejandro García Caturla a los 8 años hasta que descubrió su pasión por la guitarra 5 cinco años más tarde. Se graduó de la Escuela Nacional de Música en 2019 y obtuvo plaza para ingresar al Instituto Superior de las Artes (ISA), pero decidió no entrar para dedicarse por entero a encontrarse musicalmente, seguir los caminos del jazz y crear sus propias composiciones y arreglos. Desde entonces ha participado en eventos como el festival Jazz Plaza y ha tocado con muchos músicos de su país como Dayron Ortiz, Emilio Martiní, Camila Guevara, Frank Fonte, Richard Fando, Jonathan Formell, Tobías Alfonso, Julito Padrón, Dayron Ortiz entre otros.

Call It Home

The best part of me

Come back to me

Not Until It's Right

Deep in the night
They stand up to fight
An unwinnable battle
To loose their life

Millions of mothers
Cry for their sons
Thausends of families
Grieve for someone

Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future
Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future

Deep in the night
They wake up to fall
With a cry of pain
To loose their life

Millions of mothers
Cry for their sons
Thausends of families
Grieve for someone

Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future
Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future

Tell me why
