Waves

That magical time of year here in Sweden, when the blue lingers on after sunset, all the way to midnight.
The wind is still now, and the springtime trees and birds are quiet.
A cat sits in the tall grass, watching the dusk, about to start her night-time exploration.

Lyrics:
There was a creek behind the house where I was born
Hidden away behind the bushes and their thorns
I'd look out my window and I'd watch the rustling of the reeds
And wish that the current would take me where it leads

And wash me away
Deep into the bay
Think I might drown in all the
Things I cannot say

Oh I'd sit and weep over the father I never had
And I'd sit and scream over the one that I did
And as time came to pass I let it harden in my heart
And I'd run through the bushes and try not to fall apart

Oh wash me away
Deep into the bay
Think I might drown in all the
Things I cannot say

There was a creek behind the house where I was born
I'd fantasize about it when my hope was worn
Oh, what do you do when fear is all that you know?
Is there anything left after you try to let go?

And let it wash you away
Deep into the bay
Fill up the ocean with the
Things you cannot say

Oh wash me away
Deep into the bay
I'll fill the silence with the
Things I cannot say

Wash Me Away

KNEE DEEP IN THE BOOL 3 SET: Agane

Here is my take on this wonderful poem by W.B. Yeats...

'The Song of Wandering Aengus'

This is the title track of This Is The Kit's album BASHED OUT produced by The National's Aaron Dessner.

This Is The Kit is the much beloved musical project of Kate Stables, born in England and based in Paris, though the heart of their musical community remains in Bristol, UK. Bashed Out is her band’s third album, the result of an extended period collaboration with the record’s producer Aaron Dessner (Sharon Van Etten, Local Natives). Dessner--the co-founder of the Brassland label--is best known for his work in The National and, indeed, the backing band he gathered for Bashed Out combines the talents of This Is The Kit’s touring members (Rozi Plain, Jesse Vernon, Jamie Whitby-Coles), alongside a number of session players drawn from the Brooklyn music scene: Bryce Dessner, Thomas Bartlett (Doveman, The Gloaming), Matt Barrick (The Walkmen) and Ben Lanz (Beirut, The National) all made key instrumental contributions.

As notable as the band, however, is front woman Kate Stables, whose voice hearkens back to the classic singer-songwriter era--her distinctive, cutting vocals up front in the mix. It’s a self-confidence gained since her previous album, 2011’s Wriggle Out the Restless, which made her band a minor institution in the United Kingdom, especially on the radio which has embraced the group. This Is The Kit has received across the board support from BBC 6 DJs Lauren Laverne, Radcliffe & Maconie, Marc Riley, Cerys Matthews, and Mary Anne Hobbs--receiving further play from BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, Jen & Ally, and Phil Taggart. "Wonderful wonderful stuff," said DJ and Elbow frontman Guy Garvey, before arguing their last album should have made the Mercury Prize shortlist.

On Bashed Out, the band continue their musical evolution into a synesthetic, shape-shifting entity—rooted in folk but encompassing elements of psychedelia, alternative rock, and electronic textures and sensibilities. The Line of Best Fit has called Kate's and TITK and "essential fixture of British folk music for the past 10 years…one of a handful of truly innovate songwriters working with the British folk template today."

Detta är ett av två föredrag på ett öppet möte som Arbetarmakt arrangerade i Stockholm den 13 maj 2025 under temat Seger åt den palestinska motståndskampen. Som antiimperialister stödjer vi inte bara palestinierna i egenskap av offer, utan också som en kämpande kraft som slår tillbaka. 

Rapporten från mötet kan du läsa på vår hemsida: https://www.arbetarmakt.com/2025/05/diskussioner-om-antiimperialistisk-strategi/

Vår syn på den palestinska kampen förklarar vi bland annat i den här texten: https://www.arbetarmakt.com/2023/10/seger-at-den-palestinska-motstandskampen/

Muma is the musician alter ego of Mehmet Ali Arslan, who delicately replants his Kurdish/Turkish roots in a landscape of rock with a breeze of jazz. Listening between the notes, the curious listener can trace Mehmet’s path through the eclectia of Radiohead, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, The Cinematic Orchestra, A Perfect Circle, Jaga Jazzist and Tool.

Here are some of Muma's demos/skethces/interludes/etc...
