KOGNITIF - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

The Cancel -  My Soul

TM Juke - Just For A Day (Bonobo Mix)

We lean in like it’s gravity
Quarter light, shared vacancy
Skin remembers before the mind
Lonely hands keeping borrowed time

We don’t ask what the feeling means
Just trace it out in between the seams
Two warm bodies in borrowed air
Calling it love ‘cause it’s standing there

Is it love or the need to feel
Something warm that confirms it’s real
Is it touch or the fear of night
Holding whoever’s within our sight
Tell me why we’re closer now
Not by fate, but by here and how

We choose with our eyes half-closed
Hearts on autopilot mode
Same late trains, same corner store
Same tired thoughts we ignore

We don’t weigh it like diamond rings
Or engines built for decades of springs
We fall faster than we decide
Just to know someone’s at our side

Is it love or the need to feel
Something warm that confirms it’s real
Is it touch or the fear of night
Holding whoever’s within our sight
Tell me why we’re closer now
Not by fate, but by here and how

Late night talk in a dim same room
Future shaped like a quiet assumption
No great fire, no grand sign
Just two lives slowly aligning

We don’t ask if there’s more ahead
If somewhere else is a better yes
We settle into borrowed certainty
Calling comfort destiny

Sometimes I think in a different street
Different timing, different face to meet
Same heart maybe, different hands
Different map than the one I’m on

But thought drifts out, then circles back
To this warm weight in the dark I have
Not the best of what could be 
Just what keeps choosing me

Is it love or the need to feel
Something warm that confirms it’s real
Is it touch or the fear of night
Holding whoever’s within our sight
Tell me why we’re closer now
Not by fate, but by here and how

Maybe there’s more in another frame
Another life with a different name
But we don’t live in the endless spread
We live in what’s near, in what’s said

Hands meet first, the rest aligns
We call it meaning after the sign
Love arrives the quiet way
Not chosen first, just found midday

Love

The Astrioasia Crown & The Dusty Apsara Breaks is an instrumental album rooted primarily in Cambodian musical heritage, shaped through a modern, global lens.
As a Cambodian artist, this project is a personal fusion of ancestral sound, lived identity, and contemporary production.

Traditional Cambodian melodic sensibilities — echoing instruments such as the khim, roneat-inspired textures, and flute-like motifs — are blended with dusty rhythms, deep bass foundations, and Western-influenced beat culture. The result is a soundscape that feels ceremonial yet street-level, ancient yet current.

The album draws inspiration from Apsara symbolism, royal and spiritual imagery, and the quiet strength of Cambodian culture, while openly embracing influences from other parts of the world. Rather than imitation, this is interpretation — honoring roots while allowing them to evolve.

Production-wise, the focus remains on space, clarity, and mood. Minimal arrangements, steady mid-tempo grooves, and atmospheric reverbs create a hypnotic continuity across the project, making it ideal for immersive listening, visual storytelling, and cinematic contexts.

The Astrioasia Crown & The Dusty Apsara Breaks stands as a cultural bridge — Cambodian at its core, global in its expression.
