very nice sound. It has a relaxing atmosphere with a good tempo

is that a accordion on the track or smth?

I like the overdriven synth and the echo on the drums

Great ambience, I like it how it feels tastefuly restrained.

### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.

LYRICS
I AM A PUNK

I am a punk
I don't know who Taylor Swift is
I made a best friend a sandwich and I filled it with my jizz
I am a punk
I spat my spit into a crowd
I do all I'm not allowed and I sing it out aloud
I am a punk

I dyed my my hair all green
I don't know where I've been and my breath's obscene
I am a punk
I have holes in both my socks
Scars from chicken pox
Yet my girlfriend is a fox
I am a punk

I am a punk
With a ring right through my nose
And I'll show my middle finger in a striking pose
I am punk
I'll listen to what I wanna
This life is no fun and I think I'll do a runner
I am a punk

I'm stinking with a sweat
I've shunned all I've met
And I've got a rabid pet
I am a punk
My middle names' Ramone
I have a 90's mobile phone and I weigh just 9 stone
I am a punk

My best mate is called Sid
He cut his finger trying to open up a bottle of cider lid
I am a punk
I've got an STD
A loving family who think the world of me
I am a punk

I'm just punking around doing nothing
But these eyes are warm and loving for the right person

I am a punk
I saw what your neighbour did
So I stole the box of drugs that he so lovingly hid
I am a punk
I just sit against the wall
And shout abuse at all whilst I listen to The Fall
I am a punk

77 still seems fresh
My shirt is made of mesh
I've got a tattoo on my flesh
I am a punk
I squeezed a spot of yellow pus
I ride home on the double decker bus
And there's a punk in each of us
I am a punk

I'm just punking around doing nothing
But these eyes are warm and loving

I Am A Punk (ft Marc Freak)

Stay Awake, rough guide track

Interacted Moments

And so last night, I didn't sleep. I was counting sheeps.
I went out downtown, looking around, as a vain leap. 
I saw a big weeping willow in Clifford Street.
And down below was a strange fellow. His name was Mo.

He told me "I know, where you have to go, if you don’t want to blow.
I was right there, during the Dark Year. I will show you where. »

We went to a club. It was not far. I took a Tzar.
There was a piano. Mo sat in front. He played some Bach.
As we were out, the sun was rising, we went to the sea.
We settled down on rasping pebbles and then he told me.

"You see right there, under Centaurus, there’s a lighthouse.
Count until nine, then open your eyes, you'll know what to find »

That’s when I knew, I had to go, to the Emerald Fjord.
I turned my eyes slowly toward Mo. And he was gone.

It's a long road to the Emerald fjord. 
 I’m in a hurry to reach the shore.
My mind is focused. I need to drive more. 
2000 miles, it's worth the effort.
