Linden 03:12
the dusk herds birds curled leaves trade of words in autumnal eves linden taller than me we are both slowly looking for the key in the green only cut flowers on the ground they already dead stray world all around rotten, daily bread alone but at ease in ocean of grass wounded knees have become my pass dense smell of the loft resembles carefully collected butterfly wings,dried,soft next flower selected
2.
Fading Eyes 04:08
we keep passing we break twigs on the paths night is chasing like the way it always lasts the needles of the trees stick into my feet only the sky sees it's smiling, without deceit like mother's fading eyes like your warm hands like the swaying skies feel the endless lands feeling cursed torments me when I fall asleep we dispersed desert's got to weep I slowly fall silent I'm losing words fragile and violent singing of birds
3.
Trite 02:31
rays on the windows, reflecting in rainbow light like tiny flinders, and I know it sounds trite I only jump on white flagstones I gather my thoughts in dump let them puterfy like bones, I lead you up now I'm hanging around with my eyes closed I never spied that the scenes were posed because I can't look at this quite space anymore trees took, what you asked for how can I be sweet again? if I doubt myself my limbs are fain, I lead you up on the shelf
4.
Kalimba 01:53
I arrange the beads, brittle and sticky collect tired seeds they're so tricky I'm breathing dust under the eyelids stings like teething I sizzle on grid the wings move towards the light tremble like strings grief of the night
5.
For Mom 05:48
we were collecting sow-thistle, you taught me to count how many heads will dismissal? only the fount knows milky stalks among the green guards ticking clocks, house of cards I rarely see your smile it slipping away from me please come back for a while warm up, like evening tea Mother, do you regret you gave birth to me? you made my bed every day of the week creaky floor that's what I remember you put me into the chore introduced to dark December
6.
Waited 02:34
the sky fades I'm not coming back among the deepning shades amind the cloudy wrack your drunken faces blurry, they wander behind my eyes tangle up like laces please, just tell me lies waited, waited until it flows out I have long anticipated but here come a drought I'm not here ohh lonely world approaching next tier I'm hurled body crawls sweetness often is bitter I just want to recall in head litter
7.
Thin Arms 02:56
this song is about dream where I'm sitting on a tree near my house, here time is hiding there between green leaves under my feet and.. salty air wringing my hair dance, on this cold, dark ground in a trance, swim in my thin arms the lights fades I'm not looking it melting grapes and inside them nits crowded pilgrims cities slowly sinking in stiffer skin closed in a tin dance, on this cold, dark ground in a trance, swim in my thin arms fly to the better space but I tell you everything in its the right place
8.
Blackbird 04:52
lie yourself slowly sometimes worth it don't feel so holy nothing were writ look at dying lilacs fast twisted memories come back one is misted blackbird let me hide in your evening song deep inside between the words we're immersed in cols water together I love your skin head full of feathers you think about me when chesnuts fall when rough sea rotted crumb, I'm small

about

Blackbird is a collection of personal stories, it is about relationships, as in the previous EP, connection with nature, a little about childhood, searching for dried butterfly wings and browsing in the dunes :)

We arranged the whole thing together with Kuba Kutera, who is responsible for the production of the album. During these two years of working on the material, there was an episode of playing as a trio -->
thanks Michał Wdowikowski for the wonderful drums and Beniamin Łasiewicki for the bass.
