Once You Get Down

Harvesters

New York-based record label Youngbloods presents "The Willows": the second single release from Israeli singer, songwriter, and film composer Zoe Polanski's forthcoming full-length "Violent Flowers".

"The Willows is a loose, "stream of consciousness"-style journey log in which I express some recollections from a trip I made to the US a few years back, following up on a relationship that started in Tel Aviv. The first stop of the trip was The Willows Hotel in Chicago, then I went down south all the way to New Orleans. Being far away from home, but also in a state of intimacy, I felt I was drifting through a strange adventure.

It took us a while to find the right groove for this one. Eventually Aviad, the project's producer, came up with a beat that sounded to us like the echo of a far away, slow motion dance floor, and we felt it sat perfectly with the basic loop and bass progression. He also created a synth out of fog horns which got us super excited, and a big question we had was whether to have it open the song, or to keep the opening minimal with just the original loop. We ended up using it only later in the song, and instead, Aviad mixed in a sound of a pistol fire, as if to start the race and animate the first line of the song with a sonic metaphor."

Violent Flowers" will be printed on limited edition 12” vinyl LP and released across digital channels worldwide on July 17th, 2020.

Release the horses  
And let them run their courses 
In silent motion  
Across an endless ocean  

Back in the old days  
I’ve only known you one way  
Your voice in speakers  
Had made my heart feel weaker 

Then you became alive and played 
Your sad guitar beneath the stars  

I was a sparrow  
I flew there like an arrow  
And fell on pillows  
Under the weeping willows 

In January  
I saw the estuary  
The stormy weather  
Had worked out for the better 

And you were there in southern air 
As real as I, demystified  

Stay with me, you whispered to me 
Realize how rare these days are 
You’ll miss it all before you know it 
But i’ll be gone forever

Violent Flowers (out 17 July on Youngbloods)
