The earth is drilled with hibernating worms and anything that falls from the trees will freeze and thaw and freeze again until it withers away after its structure has been exhausted way too many times.
And we are searching for these things and we put them into songs and braid them into stories. All of them are things that someone unknowingly dropped or simply left there for us to collect and bring back to life.
This is why there are no concerts at the moment but you will find them here very soon.

Miss Tate
I don't get why you killed me
I don't get this mess
Sixteen stabs were way too many to handle for both of us
I don't get why you killed me, I don't care
I don't care that you killed me, I'm not there
A few words ran through the air, I spat them out in despair
None of them reached their aim for you licked my blood of your hands
There's no time for Miss Tate
There's no time left
Toying with the shiny knife as if to cut the baby out
But it's too late for Miss Tate
There is no time to play
No one else here, hold her well, now it's time to slay
So quiet you could almost hear the sound of ice rattling
In cocktail shakers in the houses way down the canyon
Your suffocating voice
Your delirious thoughts
Of how can it not be right when it's done with love
Tigermy
Paperfly tigermy
The butterbox is closing now
Slide aside the blackprint type
For some money I play the harp
On the isle a hill I find
Up I climb and decide
Paperfly tigermy
Bright white through the valley shines
All the cords that used to bind
Paperflies down to the ground
Vanished now with a scissors sound
Or was it a tiger bite?
Darks of taint and sour rain
Melt in vapor the tinker train
Folding mind like origami
Unrecognized even by me
Paperfly tigermy
Which dress are you wearing now?
The Diamond Sea
Let's move out of the Earth now
Because it's very wounded
Shall we find a new home
Out there a few light years further back
They wrote about a place
Where all the diamonds melt
Our rocket softly touched down
This home feels bizarre
Mirror mountains flashing through
The haze soaring from the land
Our eyes now adapt
Blind gemstones they are
Sparkling diamond sea
Imagine sailing
Among the icebergs
Floating in you
Cold Night (Maria Elena edit)
It's a cold night
Cold night
A gown for a bride
Hangs down
Maria, you haunt me
I hear how you call me
This cold night awaits me
Completes me, you can't blame me
Maria, your eyes are
So glassy yet hazy
Maria, your bones are
being strung on wires from a piano
Maria, excuse me
But understand, you can't leave me
I gave you new skin
I wrapped you in silk
I encased you in me
I did comb your wig
This cold night leaves
Cold waxen traces
Maud
Are the lions spellbound to obey?
And the swallows there to hypnotize?
Does the snake venom narcotize?
They won't wear off, Maud
It won’t rub off, Maud
You can't take off, Maud
Your ink bites
Hear the locusts chirp you to slumber?
Who’s the princess riding off your chest?
Does the ink in your skin narcotize?
See the thorny vine tear up your dress?
Does the dragon’s fire carbonize?
Does the monster factor narcotize?
Deer Traps
I set deer traps
I know I'm baddiwad
This rabbiting
Keeps us well fed
While thy glazzies sneet
Razrez the skin, I do
Leaving them all nagoy
And not so sladky
My droogs
To these poor
To these hoofs
And all the krovvy
On the ground
Sing some sad warbles
With your soft goloss
Hard a Starboard
The glacier blade
Boxed there in the shade
The whitest one
Enough to persuade
Waves of tide
Reflect a sallow light
A ruthless one
To see them fighters bite
In the dead of night
He said hard-a-starboard
Jittering ice
Glitters in their eyes
Echoing
Whistles in the dark
Paralyse
Slip and dive
Petrify
Lie dormant
Paris versus Sarajevo
Reek of perfume in the waiting lounge
See through tights with an endless run
Faux fur coat moulting on the floor
Mold these clumps in your palm now
Silence pierced by lousy lies
Tumbling out from their painted mouths
Highway howls into the night
To a girl that’s left behind
Oh, Paris versus Sarajevo
Why was I born under a war sign?
One is golden
The other sallow
Midway
Hey there, I'm a pelican once white
Crawling deeper into the marsh
No one to see me again
Hey there, I'm a dolphin lady
About to feed my baby
Only to contaminate
Thanks for the headpiece
Thanks for the necklace
I'll never put them away
When mermaids shed their tears
They poison oceans and seas
Puffy plastic bags make families
With smitten silly sea jellies
After us, the flood
After an accidental midnight fire that has burnt all his vinyls and also her guitar they found they want to work together to make a new history.
He uses his knowledge gained through the years of spinning LP’s and composing electronic music when home alone. She writes songs in a similar way like she used to when she had a girl band but she sings different stories.
As if the fire wasn’t enough, one day her fragile hands gave up while playing a tiger song. They called a friend to play the instrument for a few concerts but they all fell in love; that was when two became three forever.
