Manu Chao - Pinocchio HQ

In anticipation of the impending July 7 release of Soul Sister, ILLUMNTR and Lowtemp offer you "Dark Days."  Inspired by the eponymous film from director Marc Singer (http://bit.ly/1qCarJp), the track introduces itself as something distinctly Earthly, beginning as an homage to classic soul and the classic angst of being "down and out in New York City."

Its destination, however, depends entirely on the listener.  Just as Singer's film so powerfully illustrates, human beings don't always react the same way when faced with hopelessness.  Some look up to the heavens; others clamber down into the tranquility of the abyss.

And so it goes with Dark Days: by the time you hear the gasped breath that marks its final measure, you'll realize either that you've rocketed up into the faintly-illuminated reaches of outer space, or that you've descended down into "inner space," into the vast, crumbling network of deserted subway lines that lie like ancient ruins beneath New York.

But are these two destinations really so different?  Or does the difference lie only in the traveler?  After all, whether from the glimmer of distant stars or from the flickering glow of a trash-kindled campfire in an abandoned MTA tunnel somewhere deep below New York City, it would seem that nowhere in the universe is truly lightless.


Read the incredibly kind and thoughtful exclusive from the awesome folks over at EDM Sauce (thanks guys!): http://bit.ly/1ourkm0 


ILLUMNTR's full-length record Soul Sister will be released on Gramatik's Lowtemp Records this Monday, July 7.

[lyrics]

i don’t know the women’s names who i’m always passin by on my street
but one of y’all’s boyfriends, he stole my bike last week

how, tell me how, could i ever imagine
that on the other side of my bedroom wall would be
a haitian stank-eyed voodoo priest weightlifter
doing midnight pushups on the fire hydrant down the street

all my life, i could never say
why you do what you do to me
but when you open the door to your apartment

my heart goes, oh oh oh—
new york city done said something to me
like gospel preached through the teeth of mafiosos

dark, dark days, when i had never known
why you see what you see in me
streetlights shine down on the tracks of your tears, but i won’t go without a fight

you can find a home in other people
funny, ain’t it?
dark days for the landlord
landlord and the tenant
