lyrics

A dissonant voice lures you towards the open gate. Stepping inside through a scarlet veil, once again you find yourself in complete darkness, with a single plume of thick smoke hanging in the air at an uncertain distance in front of you. As you approach, the dirt floor stretches and contracts; the plume grows into a cloud and beckons you in, slowly devouring you with a long soft purr. You are within and without the cloud. A brass goblet is filled from a red-gushing spring. You take it to your lips and gulp the Wine of Feral Divinity. Suddenly reinvigorated, you sink into the pool of red, the gushing liquid streaming through your hair. As you dive deeper into the pool, adrift in a boundless realm of red, both substance and perspective start coiling like a saw-scaled viper. The movement is barely noticeable at first, then becomes faster, accompanied by an incessant shrill sound. Its pitch increases until it fades out into echoes, and then – silence. In a wild dervish dance, your gnosis is spun into a single gleaming thread, hanging before you like a trailing tendril of a dislodged vine. There is complete silence. The ascension awaits…

In A Brown Study

I heard their newest release first and found this one afterwards - cool 70s psychedelic Jazz and blues vibes with a really charmy minimalism to it. I bet their next album will be another gem. Keep it going dudes! StrangeFlow

Avant de dire quoi que ce soit, rappelons que l'abus de drogue est dangereux pour la santé. Néanmoins, d'aucuns pourrons se dire que pour apprécier Lemurian folk songs, une petite dose ne serait pas de trop. Faites l'expérience et apportez vos témoignages auprès de l'association la plus proche de chez vous. Tout cela, bien entendu, dans l'intérêt de la science. Poesy Rider
