An Ode to the vicious loop drug use causes to the mind of an addict. It's impossible resolution, permanent torment, ultimate abandonment to pure yet fake and short lived happiness. A story where the protagonist ends up happy and the story sad.

lyrics
Intro:
Light rises up,
Turns (the)night to day,
I feel it coming up,
Drifting me away.
Coming up, coming up,...
Verse 1:
It's 6 o'clock in the morning,
And i walk straight,
My blood unfilthed by anything,
And it feels great.
Sun right in my face
People right in they're place
The city sings my song
Today can't go wrong,
BRK 1:
Today, to work,
The floor is shinning,
Reflects a jerk
That i ended up wiping,
But still,
The floor was blinding
Verse 2:
So I kept on wipping,
All day long,
Got tired of it from the beginning,
And still stayed strong,
And hardest thing,
There is among,
Was with the other ones,
To get along.
Their:
-False smiles,
-Forced talks,
-Tired up faces,
-Repeted jokes.
BRK 2:
It drove me mad,
and so sad,
Who knew life had,
To be so bad,
After i while i ran away,
After a while i had to get away,
So now,
I'm calming down the pain,
And now,
I feel it moving in my vein,
And reaching for my brain
Verse 3:
And:
I know it's in vain,
I know it's insane,
I know it's the same,
I know it remains,
I know it's to blame,
I know it's a shame,
And I don't care,
No I don't care,
Coz despit it,
Sun's rising up,
It's 6 in the morning again,
My head's completely fucked,
But for once sings the sound of my brain.
END :
And I know i'll be down again,
As the dawn cycle don't depend,
On my sa-ni-ty

Born in New Zealand (2005), The8thstep, Alias for Belgian composer/songwriter/producer (Derenne Stélian) started with purely
electronic ambitions and evolved with the love of classical orchestrations related to technological capabilities and bastardized by years of abusive musical introspection....more

Love the dark soundscapes and myriad musical influences. Genre-bending and emotionally charged, this is one of my favourite albums. Laure's vocals are otherworldly 🖤 skog heksa

La notion de cycle nous obsède toujours : tantôt vecteur d'harmonie, celle du cercle aux proportions parfaites ; tantôt source d'angoisse existentielle.
Stélian Derenne et Laure Le Prunenec, qui s'associent en créant le groupe ELE YPSIS, décident de se pencher sur ce paradoxe dans ce premier album, SPIRALIS, qui se déroule sur quatre saisons, de l'automne à l'été suivant. C'est toute la magie de la nature qui est mise en avant, qui se répète sans cesse, jamais de la même manière. Poétique. Jordan Vauvert
A rich and vivid meal for your ears, made by jazz heads with hip-hop sensibility and pinches of soul, blues, and gospel. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 10, 2014

EKSÜ fait partie de ces albums à la beauté insondable. Plus intimiste que SPIRALIS, Stélian Derenne joue sur une musique minimale pour nous faire entrer dans une sorte d'extase — la recette fonctionne vraiment bien. Les aspects symphoniques sont mis de côté : la voix de Laure Le Prunenec est surtout accompagnée par un piano délicat et agile ("Fantaise" en est une belle preuve). Le voyage est plus aquatique, fonctionnant sur des flux et reflux quand l'electro glitchée s'en mêle. A ne pas manquer. Jordan Vauvert
