about

In the Onculiey capital of Yajoro, the jazz community had grown under the Imperial Culture Committee’s push to civilize Onculiey’s music scene. With this growth, and with Jazz being a style of music that the ICC allowed, the community began to form their own jazz standards. This bebop standard mixes some of their traditional music stylings with their new injection of culture.

The lyrics reflect the pushback that the ungrateful community continued to levy against the Empire, even despite the culture that had been brought to them. These acts of continual pushback in their art are thought to have contributed to the rebellious sentiment of the Onculiey people.

lyrics

Takes 9 hours to fly there
Beautiful country they say
Shimmering lights
Nice music
Faultless snow
How peaceful
You want to stay forever
But you won’t
You can’t
‘Cause your pain is immortal
You’re at the nadir
You’ll see what I mean
If you just take a step off the end of the pier
Water’s cold as the war
As dark as the chloroform
The moon turns the mermaids into killers
Monk’s harmony makes sirens cry
Coltrane died pathetically
Tragic they say
Kids with paper planes
Friendly locals
Fish on the coins
Excellent cuisine
All the others are lonelier than you
Dizzy’s cheeks make you laugh
Bird’s on the taxi stereo
But you can’t feel it the same way
Ever again
You’ll never know why
Takes 9 hours to fly back
Takes 9 hours to fly back
Takes 9 hours to fly back
Takes 9 hours to fly back

Max McCargar recommends:

Cosmic Surgery
by neat beats

Off the beaten path trip-hop that clearly demonstrates the emotive power of great instrumentation and production. It's more than just neat, though it is also neat. Max McCargar

Something Died in the Wall
by Occult Modem Settings

Rich and warm distortion makes this ambient noise/post-industrial album feel more inviting than one might initially expect. A lesson in immersion. Max McCargar
go to album
Icosahedron
by Zhea Erose

Maximalist in structure and content, but without feeling self indulgent. Skillfully balancing all the different compositional, production, and thematic elements into a cohesive whole. Max McCargar
