about

"Animals" is a powerful and ethereal track with catchy strings ornament that explores the concept of spirit guides who help you through difficult times and keep you safe in every way. The band draws inspiration from shamanic traditions this time. The lyrics evoke a sense of mystical energy and connection with the natural world.

The track features the traditional Swedish folk instrument nyckelharpa, adding a unique and captivating medieval vibe to the song. Together with vintage synths and garage guitars you get something mesmerizing.

Magical realism of the music allows us to explore emotions and experiences in a way that feels both surreal and authentic. “Animals” is a perfect example of this concept, as it takes listeners on a journey through the spiritual realm.

lyrics

I had a horse
Black as the night
That lightly flew from hill to hill
Could see the road in mellow dim
And always played the rider’s will
Her lips were soft like velvet kiss
Of darkness hidden her mane

I had a cow
Huge as the moon
With bright blue eyes and silver horns
She had a spot like sun in June
And carrying tall a crown of thorns
She slowly walked and lordly swayed
Like thunder echoing she lowed

I had a dog
Faster than flames
Life giving to the fuzzy world
He was the movement – sweep and play
Awaking new and keeping old
He loudly barked and boldly fought
And often died in dreams for me

The psychedelic escapades of mr. Harlon and his flock of dead crows are a new discovery for me, but one of my favourites in the past few years. Dark exploration of the human state, but with a tint of hope and determination. Vanja

Dead Star

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
