Run 04:45
Burns me down Down to the ground it’s lost in the fog Got my style So so. There, I have to crawl I’m in a fight, that’s based on a fevered call It’s based on a fevered call down to the wire time and time again Turn the light on Before I fall To the end I wanna stop See, it cracks me up It strives for the light And wants to shine Oh now set me free I am on fire I wanna hide, I wanna hide I wanna flow, wanna flow, straight in line I wanna fall, I wanna dive, in the fog I wanna rise, I wanna rise, coming up for Abstract mind at the great celebration I wanna hide, I wanna hide, it’s all, can’t stand up Just one thing that counts Affected by obsessing frustration My hands, useless now Some things never stop Turn the lights on... Abstract mind at the great celebration Turn the light on Before I fall To the end I wanna stop See, it cracks me up It strives for the light And wants to shine Oh, now set me free I am on fire

Pieces 04:16
In the meantime once in a while it embraces me But how. I just cut the time Smallest pieces And then I step into what’s in between In the meantime birds hanging in a strange coloured sky And sometimes Bees, they hover, float, stuck This is when all the things are quiet It’s the smallest point of time Blink of an eye, slowdown, no perception One second becomes more than an hour I stretch the time and move around in a rigid world, ahead it’s shaded towards violett the world behind has the shade of old blood In the meantime it’s just like walking in sundowns Although, the sun is fixed high, in the sky and barely moves. No In the meantime a crystal made of living things, so quiet a treasure chest of, the single moments This is when all the things are quiet It’s the smallest point of time Blink of an eye, slowdown, no perception One second becomes more than an hour I stretch the time and move around in a rigid world, ahead it’s shaded towards violett the world behind has the shade of old blood In the meantime in the meantime in the meantime this world full of glistening patience This is when all the things are quiet So so quiet, yeah In the meantime in the meantime in the meantime this world full of glistening patience

A place on the sun all alone, all alone walking on clouds daydreaming of bowlers filled, bowlers stuffed with magical farce and never before seen it rise, going down longing to adore another star A place on the sun all aglow, all aglow walking on fires in search of a flower yellow, rose, silver, lime gazing awhile and never before seen it rise, going down longing to adore brothers we are A place on the sun all alone, all alone walking on clouds daydreaming of bowlers filled, bowlers stuffed with magical farce and never before seen it rise, going down longing to adore another star A place on the sun overgrown, overgrown delphic desires the curtains of night pulled aside, pulled aside the sunlight expired and never before seen it rise, going down I long to adore ride on a star And my eyes are blind anyhow gazing at the sun inside it rises and falls Star rises, then falls Said so, you said so, my eyes are blind Star rises, then falls Said so, you said so, you said so, you said

Starry Sky 07:21
We gaze out and watch the stars Unknowing, tell stories so far And when we dream we are sailing on On a shooting stars tale Wake up, wake up... This is a time lapse of all we’ve done Is this the way for us to go, son? Universe? we’re still alone We’re falling in a massive black hole Silence I am in silence, so tight Oh no, wrapped up in cotton clouds, blazing white No, fallin’ Soon gonna hit the ground Wake me up, give solace Point into the starry sky When we gaze out into the dark watching all the stars aline You tell a story from your heart And babe, when you’re close to me all is fine we stay small, but big enough This is our shooting star We gaze out and watch the stars Unknowing, tell stories so far And when we dream we are sailing on on a shooting stars tale When we gaze out into the dark Watching all stars aline Tell me stories from your heart And babe, when you’re close to me all is fine we stay small, but big enough This is our shooting star So far away and yet so similar Can you feel the waves when my voice shakes So far away and yet so similar Can you feel the waves when my voice shakes

Step Back 05:41
Raised the dust I just came ashore The ship touched down Am I blind or is it a desert storm I look around It’s clearing up I count to 10 Move your body, my friend Let’s get around the issue A seven-legged spider, still able to run One day, sometime, you’ll find out I will tell you the truth, something you fear, that no one wants to hear Out of the light Into the dark I venture out Dust has gone at last, an alert mind Full body protection Inside, good blue Move your body, my friend Let’s get around the issue A seven-legged spider, still able to run One day, sometime, you’ll find out I will tell you the truth, something you fear, that no one wants to hear Roamin’ around Up and down the dunes I’m searching What the hell am I looking for Reach the top Unspoiled view You and Planet Blue Move your body, my friend Let’s get around the issue A seven-legged spider, still able to run One day, sometime, you’ll find out I will tell you the truth, something you fear, that no one wants to hear That no one wants to hear No one wants to hear That no one wants to hear No one wants to hear Let’s get around the issue A seven-legged spider, still able to run One day, sometime, you’ll find out I will tell you the truth, something you fear, that no one wants to hear

Dark Horse 06:08
You’ve got a gold back a soul, that embraces all a safe home, the name holds a scar a feather, a stone, unperceivable a tear drops, the sea turns, calm a bird stops, the cliff soars, the sky leaves wither on, fall apart waves folding back, hollow churn, distant star You’ve seen me cry sometimes it’s warm by your side it’s what I want, unknown times, maybe it’s right this time severing wildfires soon, it won’t be long, lead me this time home, home, home, home it is in my heart, my trust is at your side retrace my third eye we started a curse I burned down, my hopes are on fire it’s dark horses it’s a dark side we’ve seen the the dark side I burned down, my hopes are on fire it’s dark horses So dark I can’t make it stand still, on my own my shame is still dressed in black but we’re side by side a distant shadow in the wild It’s a dark horse, yeah I won’t step back into past, time’s gone displacement divides reality ripped to pieces all paths leading home are on fire I see dark horses riding the stars

about

Dark Age Day Dream is “a concept record that obsesses over the nature of time! It’s our attempt to make sense of reality, so it’s full of contradictions and ambiguities.” It’s a sonic journey, which takes the basic idea of synth-pop and then turns it inside-out, side-ways and upside-down. By intuitively connecting dots between synth-based musics – late 70s classic electronica, cold and new wave as well as all types of iterations of techno – Eutropic created a singular amalgam of sound: simultaneously dance-floor friendly and the perfect companion to deep introspection.
 
Dark Age Day Dream is a very emotional and personal record, a document to three years of life with all the ups and downs that it entailed. It’s a body of work that is full of nuance, relying more on the use of gradients than solid colors or clear-cut contrasts. For listeners who love hyper-textual songwriting, there is a lot of that going on here. Sain-Exupery’s story Little Prince is referenced on Distant World, Michael Ende’s graphic novel Momo on Gray, while Terry Pratchett’s novel Thief of Time on Pieces. The choice of sub-topics is also quite a cornucopia: time travel post-apocalypse (Step Back), real-life zombies (Awake), God is dead / the new religion (Silicon God), the dehumanising effects of digital technology (Down By Law), our primal wonder and awe (Starry Sky) and much more.

about

Eutropic Bern, Switzerland

Eutropic are an analog synth-obsessed avant pop trio. Their music explores human emotion through the prism of a high- resolution gradient. It draws from cold and new wave, several iterations of techno and classic 70s electronica. It’s functional, yet introspective – full of nuance, detailed shadings, curious overlaps and idiosyncratic contradictions. ... more
