    Atsuko Chiba’s Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing (January 20th, 2023 via Mothland) is as stylistically diverse as it is thematically anchored, as catchy as it is challenging. Asymmetric, yet seamless time signatures, otherworldly synthetic frequencies, patented harmonies, raga-inspired melodies, cryptic lyrics and orchestral arrangements co-exist within this surreal musical tale recounting one’s relation to their environment. For fans of The Mars Volta, Beak> or Spirit of the Beehive.

    Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing d’Atsuko Chiba est tout à la fois stylistiquement diversifié et thématiquement ancré, étrangement accrocheur et défiant à l’écoute. Les signatures rythmiques asymétriques y sont subtiles, supportant fréquences synthétiques et extraterrestres, harmonies audacieuses, mélodies rappelant des ragas, paroles énigmatiques et arrangements orchestraux, le tout coexistant au fil d’une épopée surréelle retraçant l’individu et son environnement. Pour les fans de The Mars Volta, Beak> et Spirit of the Beehive.

lyrics

So much for this dream
It coincided with this pain exhausted
So much for this dream
It coincided with this pain exhausted
Long lost love is free, it grows
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
Desire bears its weight in conflict
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
So much for this dream
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
It coincided with this pain exhausted
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)

Fucked up
Why did you hold it?
Can’t stand to
Give me the honest
All weekend
This is myopic
I’m feedin’
Gotta ride this one

Fucked up
Why did you hold it?
Can’t stand to
Give me the honest
All weekend
This is myopic
I’m feedin’
Gotta ride this one out

Fucked up
I’m the culprit
I fucked up
I’m the culprit
I fucked up
I’m the culprit
I fucked up
I’m the culprit

(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)

So much for this dream
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
It coincided with this pain exhausted
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
So much for this dream
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)
It coincided with this pain exhausted
(Fucked up, I’m the culprit)

I want to
I want to feel his love
I miss him
I want to
I want to feel his love
I want to feel his love

I want to
I want to feel his love
I miss him
I want to
I want to feel his love
I want to feel his love

Hey!
Fool!
Don’t!
Trust me!
Hey!
Fool!
Don’t!
Trust me, don’t trust me!
Hey!
Fool!
Don’t!
Yellow letter with the city on the kettle!
Hey!
Fool!
Don’t!
Trust me, don’t trust me oh!

Never gonna give it
Never gonna see it
Time goes by
Ready or not
Give up the funk
Never gonna give it
Never gonna see it
Time goes by
Give up the funk now
Sittin’ in this bouncing house
How’d they do it with
Ounces movin’ and
Right into this sacrilege haunted
Never give it
Never gonna get it
Give me one reason now
Give up the funk
Wooo!
Give up the funk
Ahhh!

X’s and O’s
Round as it goes
Over and over
Keep countin’ the toll
X’s and O’s
Round as it goes
Over and over
Keep countin’ the toll

about

Atsuko Chiba Montréal, Québec

Montreal’s Atsuko Chiba venturesomely crosses genre-defining borders with a cohesive and hypnotic blend of post-rock, progressive rock, and krautrock, weaving together a rich sonic tapestry that subverts through offbeat songwriting. The psychedelic armada is back with Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing (January 20th, 2023), unearthing a fierce collection of droney, yet bombastic compositions. ... more
