Lyrics:

i close my eyes 
can see for miles 
it’s the world inside my head 

bleach 
and snow 
and gasoline 
lets go out 

i close my eyes 
can see for miles 
a little world inside my head 

chewing gum 
and cherry vaseline
let’s go out 
she said 

i close my eyes 
can see for miles 
the little world inside my head 

my head 
my head 
my head 

bleach 
and snow 
and gasoline 
drive faster 

let’s go out 
let’s go out
let’s go out 
let’s go out

Kuboraum Editions is pleased to announce the forthcoming LP ‘McArthur’ by Berlin-based composer and vocalist FRANKIE, also known as Franziska Aigner, and Dominican-American producer Kelman Duran. 
The first single ‘GRAYT’ is out now on all streaming platforms alongside its music video, made in collaboration with Enad Marouf and Margarita Maximova, and starring a constellation of friends and longtime collaborators: Persik, Billy Bultheel, Beatrix Curran, Basyma Saad and Edwin Nasr.

Sometime in 2022, at the beginning of the spring season, FRANKIE and Kelman Duran meet at the Twelve Apostles Church, in the Berlin district of Schöneberg. They were each asked to engage the space’s solemnity, and its reverence, through distinct performances. Their chance encounter, abounding with mutual curiosity towards each other’s practices, smoothened the path for a years-long collaboration, culminating in McArthur, their first joint album. Following a period of exchanging musical fragments and prompts at a distance, Aigner and Duran come together in Athens, and later in Los Angeles, to prepare the stuff and material for the album, slowly developing a body of work informed by shared hauntings, and a commitment towards the disjointed and the residual. Aigner describes her process as writing “into the negative space” of Duran’s beats—filling in, if not invigorating, their thuddings and inflections, but without rearranging the integrity of the whole. The result is an album where time and geography are made elastic, and where sonic improvisations become a site for quiet, and cryptic, articulations of intimacy.
 
Opening with a skeletal Duran beat that intermittently fractures into reggae samples, “GRAYT” emerges as the project’s genesis. Aigner’s vocals linger within the percussive absences, and the track itself gives the impression that it was sculpted out of silence. The accompanying video, made in collaboration with Enad Marouf and Margarita Maximova, summons a constellation of friends and longtime collaborators to perform a choreography of disorientation. The temporary solace of assembly surfaces. 

Text written by Edwin Nasr.
