Rating: Another album for nocturnal mental breakdowns: she is a sister of night, he is an alchemist of the impossible beat. Their conception of funk and jazzy interventions on minimal electronic bases is elusive, even when the rhythm is more frenetic, there remains an enveloping aspect of intimacy in the air, perhaps due to the female voice, dub bass, a dense polyrhythmic carpet spread throughout the work, loops and samples from a lunar safari (and it's not Air), their music is a code of sleep, but too many galactic variants, too many buzzings of alien noises to really have a reassuring sleep, also because this electronic music so alluring and seductive is deeply personal and original.
Their desire to have no identity is decipherable, and also their desire for purity is decipherable, to have no contact either with the filthy industry or with the nauseating critics and scribblers that infest the business; for this reason, I too (even though, thank God, I am not a damn fucking critic) politely step aside right now.

02 Breather (07:16)
dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season how long do I take it can I start to change it you know it's been a long long time can I grow a new skin can I try to begin again dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season I am always waking I am always shaking I think I know this might not end can I dry the cold sweat get out of this mess again dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season ease into a new box shoulder a new lot it's gonna be a long long time a whirlwind among breezes doing what he pleases again dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season
06 Bedbugs (05:52)
It's gonna swallow me whole
The ground'll open up and in i'll fall
Down down down
Mama set me up with a fine young thing
And he was gonna buy me everything
But he grabbed the hook and took out for deep water
And pretty soon that fish - he pulled me in
It's gonna follow me home
Somewhere in the shadows there's a place for me
In the cold cold ground
Trouble's right behind me there's hard times ahead
The devil's got his hammer he's poundin' on my bed
Lost most my money i'm on my last hand
I'm knockin' at hell's door with no weapon and no plan
Feelin' kinda timid like an egg without a shell
But if i've been just bluffing i ain't gonna tell
It's gonna swallow me whole
The ground'll open up and in i'll fall
Papa set me up with a sharp-eyed boy
And i was gonna have him for my toy
But he stole my heart and took out for deep water
And pretty soon that shark - he pulled me in
Sky's full of lightning the wind's spitting sand
Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan
The fish have all stopped jumping the bedbugs are asleep
I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep
I wish i had a needle as fine as i could sew
I'd stitch my baby to my side and down the road we'd go
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
Little fishes in the brook
Papa catch them with a hook
Brother clean it like a man
Mama fry it in the pan
