Oh No...might not be the most encouraging thing to declare first thing in the year but Skwirl's new EP is a decidedly darker affair than most of his output.

That is not to say it is a downer, it has beats and you can dance to it, but the EP was written during a period of heavy upheaval and decidedly less than killer vibes.Hurts were hurt, and things went pear, and it was in moments of grief and processing that the Oh No EP was formed. 

From the transfigurative title track to the gorgeously tender and abraded finale this electrifying record is the most intimate and achingly raw material from the up-and-coming Berlin based producer to date and hints at an ocean of depth beyond the beat science he's become known for.

Oh No...

i've been sleeping
with an eye open

who...can make it out?
who can
make it out?

you've been creeping
body keeping

nobody can make it out.
no one can make it out.

Skwirl - An Eye Open

Grab it on Bandcamp

so you said "I can't. I can't stay...
it has gone on far too long for me this way
and I will never be the one that you need
you can never be the mouth that I feed."

oh no
please don't

Every part of me is numb
Everything I had has gone away
When you left me you weren't wrong
I'm the prodigal son anyway.

oh no
please don't

Skwirl - Oh No

I won't make it here alone...no

like i've been waiting by the phone
for you

I'm spinning turns like a dervish
counting spots on my wall

I won't make it here alone...
I've gone feral

So tell me, tell me what's next love

Tell me where you've been,
tell me what you're thinking of.

You better believe in...something

cause i'm not waiting by my phone...for you
those times have long gone...for you

I'm not waiting by my phone

I...I miss you terribly
I'm so sorry

But I'm not waiting by my phone...for you

those times have long gone...for you

Skwirl - Gone Feral (feat. Johan Östman)

i read something that i shouldn't have done
sent me spiralling down a darkened path though

internalise til you can't be saved
stick your arm in a sanding lathe

call out when it hurts
don't be the one to flinch first

now let go the boat is out
so you might as well row on now

dark eyes, tender lips curled up into a pout
this is a hold up so keep your hands up til they give out

internalise now you know they won't come for you
and there was never anything you could do

so let go the boat is out
keep breathing and row on now

so let go the boat is out
just count your breaths and row on now

go on
internalise
