Time is an abstract concept, in ancient Greece there were two words for it - "Kronos" and "Kairos". "Kronos" operates as measured time - days, hours, minutes and seconds. "Kairos" refers to festival time, or the "age" we live in. The world has shifted completely since the beginning of the new decade. COVID-19, earthquakes, fires, war, and famine have plagued the earth as both the climate and geopolitical temperatures rise worldwide. Throughout this eerie chapter of "the new normal" or "end times", it is often challenging to remain an optimist. Fantasy, like God, is the only refuge for the human soul. We need fantasy in this dark world, and in Dasychira's first new release in 3 years they are mirroring their playground of magical realism with the state of the world. On the nu-age artist's second LP, they confront technologies that are at the precipice of changing the state of reality as we know it. CRISPR-CAS9, AI, nuclear science and other accelerationist technology are leading to a world where humans no longer have agency. The earth is crying, mother nature is calling for us. Dasychira experienced an earthquake, an eclipse, a pandemic, and pure heartbreak to bring you a highly personal collection of nu-age electronic music made over the last 3 years, incorporating instruments such as the electric guitar, gamelan, violin, vocals and synthesizers to create a genre of their own. Undead includes features from Golin, Embaci, Chuquimamani-Condori, and several other friends to create a diverse, yet memorable LP that serves as a departure from their previous work. They are celebrating the release of their new album with an extensive tour of Europe, performing in Zürich, Amsterdam, Berlin, Glasgow, London, Paris and Athens.

Dasychira - Undead

(UNSL024)

"This is an album about letting go. The only parts left are the pieces of this record I decided to keep. I hope they heal you as much as they have for me."

Dasychira - Undead (UNSL024)

11 pipes
shackles to the sky

the earth will shake
and the ground will break

donate your eyes
nothing can be seen

dark bliss
to me

when waters change
i will come back home

dark bliss
to me

chant the mantra
बाध पूजा banyan

dark bliss
to me

the earth will shake
and the ground will break

donate your eyes
nothing can be seen

dark bliss
to me

dark bliss
to me

dark bliss
to me

dark bliss
to me

See Something

Dasychira - Banyan Tree (UNSLS022)

some kind of twisted magic
(magic)
my blood was scattered 'round
the story's always tragic
(in the end)
the world is upside down

some kind of wicked fable
(wicked fable)
heaven sent me to rebound
if i'm willing and i'm able
(don't pretend)
plant these seeds into the ground

please say i'm undead
it's never the end
(the end)
i wanna go back to you again
please say i'm undead
it's never the end
i wanna go back to you again
please say i'm undead
please say i'm undead
(again)
please say i'm undead
please say i'm undead
please say i'm undead

undead
undead
undead
undead
(undead)

Undead

Dasychira - Undead (UNSLS026)

so excitedly
i can feel your eyes
follow me
free me out my mind’s bonsai

suddenly
i can forget it all
in one go

silently
i see right through it all to the core of you

it’s sweet
it’s sweeter when it snows
you’re sweet
you’re sweet
you’re sweeter than a rose

dying only makes me feel so much more alive
fighting every season for the spark to survive
waking up i see you catch a glimpse from behind the mirror

the smoke blows gently
i won’t go steadily again
no you won’t believe don’t believe
make believe in
dead end

so excitedly
i can feel your eyes
follow me
free me out my mind’s bonsai

suddenly
i can forget it all
in one go

silently
i see right through it all to the core of you

it’s sweet
it’s sweeter when it snows
you’re sweet
you’re sweet
you’re sweeter than a rose

Dasychira - Deoxys Connect

wake up a clone that’s barely breathing
stimulate thoughts that awaken a pulse
forget about feelings
forgive all our thoughts

baptized as an AI
there’s nowhere to go
the places we know are
shadows to be
are shadows to be are
shadows to be

transfer this life into a cloud
still talking out loud
a voice in the crowd
as bodies are rotting
the earth in a shroud

caught me on the blindside there’s
nowhere to go
the places we know
are shadows to be
are shadows to be are
shadows to be

trust yourself
till you spill over
trust your guts
tills they spill over
bursting bodies mass exposure
bursting corpses mass exposure

trust yourself
till you spill over
trust your guts
tills they spill over
bursting bodies mass exposure
bursting corpses mass exposure

see you in my next life
see you in my next life again

Dasychira - Shadow To Be (Magnetic)

bleed and glow
you said you saw it a while ago
home alone
impossible to take it away

i find it impossible
when i try to take it away
it’s home

going back to you

bleed and glow
were you the one i’ll never know?
home alone
a flyby turns me into a stone

i find it impossible
when i try break it away

i find i find i find
it’s home
going back to you

(countdown to extinction)
bleed and glow
(countdown to extinction)
bleed and glow
(countdown to extinction)
bleed and glow
(countdown to extinction)
bleed and glow

oh why oh why oh why?

i find i find i find…
