lyrics
prosinec, nevlídná hodina
nejdřív se šeří v údolích Pojizeří
víš?
temnotou kůlen, rzí a prachem
nástroje předků scházejí
zvěčnělá vlhkost děsí se světa
démoni tou branou vcházejí
ráhnoví větví, konce lan
krumpáče, kotvy, skládky a lomy
studený brázdy pod vratkou várkou
hynoucí půda
tu polyká domy
kde bylo srdce, mám teď jen závěje
ale v čaji s medem je kapka naděje
víš?
ve tmě hořící střechy od stodol
sestra mlčení, bratr alkohol
ráno, pak hned smrákání
kde bylo nebe,
visí jen kost
k oponě roku klopýtání
severní Čechy
nízká oblačnost
///
december, an unkind hour
first it dawns in the valleys of Pojizeří
you know?
darkness with rust, dust, and grime
the tools of the ancestors wither
eternal dampness frightens the world
demons enter through that gate
booms of branches, ends of ropes
pickaxes, anchors, dumps and quarries
cold furrows under the downpour
dying soil
devours houses
where there was a heart, now I have only snowdrifts
but there is a drop of hope in tea with honey
you know?
in the dark of burning barn roofs
sister silence, brother alcohol
in the morning, then immediately the sleet
where there was the sky
only a bone is hanging
to the curtain of the stumbling year

Portland's Dao Strom describes her work as "song poems," gorgeously layered dark ambient folk soundscapes with a heavy sense of foreboding. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 6, 2020

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.
