Sous les eaux, formidable grandeur Sous les eaux, tu penses avoir un coeur Une cathédrale obscure Une chapelle invisible Une forteresse sans murs Le plus grand vide L’océan s’écrase sur ma peau de marbre Je veux aller vivre derrière les vagues

Neptune 03:26
lyrics

I want to dissolve in a tidal wave Swallowed, I would spin, I would twirl and drift Motion, set me free from the holes in me I want to lie on a silent night Safe from the turmoil of broad daylight Safe from my burning incense heart Ruins of plastic sinking over my head Freed from myself by Neptune’s hand

The Shrinking of the Aral Sea 04:38
lyrics
buy track
I’m in a dangerous place avoiding hunters and forest fires I lost my way With all my broken devices There is no hope of going back Going back home The mountains cutting the sky in half Little pieces of clouds are growing pink So I’ll be dancing on the edge of cliffs Watching the rivers flowing back to where I came from Maybe I’m shrinking with the Aral Sea Maybe I’m living where the tide was born Maybe I’m living in reverse One day the bridges will all collapse Hit by the wave that’s growling now Beneath me I’m in a beautiful place Avoiding hunters and forest fires I lost my way

Crumbling Cliffs 10:17
lyrics

Take a crumbling cliff Make it look like gold I’m a bystander Waiting in the cold When you cast a spell Statues start to move I feel nothing Jumping off the roof But I will rise up Take my gold back Fire hold me close to your light Fire hold me close Never let me go

about

"Les Grands Miroirs" is a double EP that combines two volumes with highly contrasting atmospheres.

It is pervaded with the cataclysms of the anthropocene, violence, the shrinking of the horizon, the extinction of life, the desire to disappear. The "great mirrors" are those of the present and future disasters that keep surfacing to throw back at us our own, cruel image. They carry those distorted, amplified, frightening reflections.

In this first volume, french producer Moonbird explores those territories in a contemplative stillness, oscillating between ghostly songwriting and abrasive techno.

moonbird Annecy, France

À mi-chemin entre Apparat, Daniel Avery et Thom Yorke, l’électronique se fait ici le canevas d’une certaine sensibilité, avec un goût prononcé pour l’immersion dans des paysages imaginaires décharnés. Le chant, entre anglais et français, ouvre des portails vers d’autres inconnus et vient se poser sur des textures mouvantes propulsées par un beat incisif. ... more
