about

Captivating Melbourne two-piece SAATSUMA share more of their brimming reserve with the announcement of an impressive debut album, Overflow, set for release September 1st. Shimmering alongside is the news of an album launch and a lunar inspired single from the record, 'Crescent' which received a first spin with Zan Rowe on triple j Sunday night and premiered online via Red Bull Music yesterday.

An enigmatic electronic duo composed of Memphis LK and Cesar Rodrigues, SAATSUMA's latest offering shines a light on their pair's production and lyrical dexterity. Combining trademark smouldering vocals, infectious beats, warped synth and throbbing bass with entrancing melancholy, their latest single, ‘Crescent' represents the new and future SAATSUMA.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Super moon
Is it moving closer
Or is it an illusion
Give into
The gravitational pull
Is it crescent
Or is it full

VERSE 2
Super moon
Emerging from the mist
You resist its presence, don’t you
Now I’m so confused
By the constant push and the pull
Are we crescent only
Or are we full

BRIDGE
Circles shifting
Out of place with
Echoes glistening
Across the bay
It’s disconcerting
We create this
Constant hurting
And feel no shame

BREAKDOWN
Are we crescent only x 4

VERSE 3
Super moon
It’s hard to feel
But it’s real
And we’ve got hope still
But I’m still confused
By the constant push and the pull
Are we crescent only
Or are we full
