About Who

یونہی کبھی 
بخار میں جیسے 
آتی ہے یاد 
تمھاری
پروا نہیں 
تجھے اے یا نا اے 
پر تیرا پارہ تو چڑھے 

دھماکہ اکے کردے 
سینے میں گولی دھردے 
لے لے میری جان 
آسمانوں سے گرا دے 
زمینوں پے لگا دے 
پہرے مریں جان 
وقت اے گا 
میرا بھی یونہی 
دل چاہے گا 
کے جیب میں ہو اک طوفان 

یہ دن دن دیہاڑے 
ہیں نخرے تمہارے 
کیسے میری جان 
بانٹ کے کھالے 
گلی گلی ناچالے 
مجھے میری جان 
وقت اے گا 
میرا بھی یونہی 
کیا لڑے گا 
چل چھوڑ کر لے مجھ سے صُلح

ہیں الفاظ بمعنی 
ہے خطأ میری 
بیشک کاینات ہو فانی 
گر تو ہی نہیں

گردن  پے چھری چل گئی 
آنکھوں سے سی لڑگئی 
میری میری جان 
پنکھے سے لٹکا دے 
تیزاب کا ہار پہنا دے 
مجھے میری جان 
وقت بتایے گا 
کون جیتا 
کون ہارا 
تب تک ستاے جا 
تا کے جھومے ناچے سارا جہاں

یونہی کبھی 
غصّے میں آکے 
انتظار کرتی ہوں 
پروا نہیں تو اے یا نہ اے 
تجھے پتا تو چلے 
تیرا پارہ تو 
تجھے پتا تو چلے

Tollcrane AKA Talha Asim Wynne makes music that’s as comforting as it is unclassifiable, weaving his influences from jazz and electronic heroes like John Coltrane and Actress into more linear forms. In addition to his production work as Tollcrane, the Pakistani musician and 2014 RBMA Tokyo grad is the former guitarist of the psych-rock outfit //orangenoise and current member of Forever South, an electronic music collective in Karachi that connects his dance and indie interests. Now classifying his work as “experimental techno,” on March 29th Tollcrane will release the ‘Trips Alone’ mini-LP on Hear Now Records (run by fellow RBMA alumnus Ziyad Habib AKA noahs heark), with lead single “Graveyard Shift” streaming now via RBMA. 

On “Graveyard Shift,” vocal synths quiver momentarily over lumbering accents before the kick drum takes over. It contains the sort of melody Tollcrane is adept at: pliable and restless, with plenty of bleary details competing for attention within the haze. A restless arpeggio chugs casually towards a peak, while the entire mood has a soothing feel - there’s something pillowy about the elements Tollcrane includes that soften the propulsion without letting the energy dissipate or the track deflate. It’s simple, yes, but simply mesmerizing nonetheless. 

‘Trips Alone’ is available as free digital download and limited-run cassette via the Hear Now Records Bandcamp on March 29th:

Tollcrane - Graveyard Shift

Track 5 from Pakistani progressive rock band The D/A Method's debut album The Great Disillusion. 

(Dar/Alvie/Iqbal/Ajaz)

Ghoom darvaish ghoom
Paani kay hazaron boondh
Aur aatish ki noor
Mein mil kar ghoom

Ghoom darvaish ghoom
Tera ishq zamanay mein mushhoor
Tera imaan mazboot
Mere sapnon mein…

Ghoom
Mere mann mein
Ghoom

Mullah kee nazar
Noor-e-firasat se khalee hai
Darvaish to…
Rooh-e-nafasat par jhoomta hai

Is kaum mein magar
Muddat se who darvaish nayaab hai
Dhoondun to milay
Mere dil mein…

Ghoom
Mere mann mein
Ghoom
Mere tann mein ghoom

A solo

Translation:
Whirl darvaish whirl
In thousands of drops of water
And the light of fire
Merge and whirl

Whirl darvaish whirl
Your love – legendary through the ages
Your faith – strong
In my dreams…

Whirl
In my mind
Whirl

The Mullah’s sight
Has lost the light of penetrative vision
But the darvaish…
Dances to a refined frequency

In this nation
For ages the darvaish has been scarce
If I search I’ll find him
In my heart…

Whirl
In my mind
Whirl
In my body, whirl

Darvaish
