mířím za čímsi dávným / i am heading toward something ancient
každým dnem zas blíž minulosti / every day getting closer to the past
tradice ústní i mlčení / traditions spoken and silent, too
oltáře, nádoby, pověsti, kosti / altars, vessels, legends, bones
v neprobádaný samotě / in unexplored solitude
se u kmenů mihnou světla: / the lights flicker by the tree trunks:
dva kroky, tři kroky, padesát / two steps, three steps, fifty
roků cholery / years of cholera
a nocí zvlněný boky / and the night’s undulating hips
lesní podrost tlumí vzdechy / forest undergrowth muffles the sighs
bůžkové zhasli / little Gods extinguished
šumění potoku, tichá radost / the murmur of the stream, the quiet joy
ságy / sagas
romány / novels
bez nejmenšího nároku / without the slightest demand
na ráno / for morning
na nic / for nothing
tání / spring thaw
devětsil / butterbur
studený místa / cold places
potichu / silently
sám / alone
vnímám les ve tvaru srdce: rozprostírá se do všech stran /
i perceive a heart-shaped forest: it sprawls in all directions
Great to see Hourloupe back with more avant-garde spoken word musings on "time, reality, and the natural world". Here they reflect on humanity's journey from a moment in 19th century natural history to staring transfixed at the anthropocene headlights. Fear not the poetic narration is as warm & reassuring as a first world lifestyle & the music it's own, frankly mesmerizing, complex electroacoustic ecosystem with only the occasionally unsettling hint of it's impending breakdown.

Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2017
An earthy yet somewhat chilly record about life, death, and reconnection, the latest from LOMA experiments with a turn towards the gloomy. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
