lyrics
The boy has perfect pitch; he needs reliable rhythm. He can face the facts, just not what will lie between them. Look him in the eyes; see him mask his indignation. Little professor, he will stick to his own schedule; honest to a fault with an eye for the essential. Look him in the eyes; talk to him like he's your equal. Just 'cause he steps out of line doesn't mean his mind is feeble.
Give his lack a name; diagnose without precaution; parents will protest, they are running out of options. Push him from outside; see the source of all his sadness. Little professor, launch into another lecture; follow the routine; dance about the architecture. Look him in the eyes; let him learn that you will listen. This is how he pays the price for the gift of his ambition.
When he comes of age he'll outgrow what overwhelms him and leave you wondering why you did not pay close attention. Shocked but not surprised, he's as sharp as any scholar and you'll have barely made his grade. You can bet your bottom dollar.

The Swedish duo assembles electroacoustic melodies and samples into musical approximations of time itself—blurry, liminal, and boundless.

Quiet, delicate songs painted on a small canvas, so you have to lean in close. Intimate and intricate, but allowed to stretch out and breathe. Completely satisfying.
