Tyranny 02:24
Where tyranny exists That tyranny exists Where tyranny exists That tyranny exists Where tyranny exists That tyranny exists In the barrel of a gun Not (just) in the barrel of gun In the barrel of a gun Not (just) in the barrel of a gun The hand that grips The hand that grips Hands shaping a fist The hand that grips The hand that grips Hands shaping a fist Told you to go Told you to go

It has been quite a long time That thoughts Can no longer be contained Within my ravaged strings of bereavement Convergent thoughts Hollow and bleak Still entertained Within my kingdom Beyond endless valleys of green Headless horses re-enact Ancient ceremonies Between my teeth lie purple flowers Under my crotch I feel your tongue Something long dead has re-awakened Thus, glows like algae In my hands Relentless Complete Relentless Complete

All is instant Delayed comes the light That's the secret But it’s not secret Time is where And time again I sometimes mumble And loose my path never mind... Consider this rumbling a sort of diary A diary of bloom and demise Obverse and reverse Inherent contradictions Some believe I am insane But I’m with Burroughs And his hallucinative glimpses of reality I often say a lot of things And that can be quite a problem On most occasions I remain silent That’s even worse It is what it is And it might not really matter It does though It shivers my spine Grows flowers within I am often trapped Within illusions fed by memoirs of grandeur I feel I shouldn’t care Not really give a shit But my world is your seashell And it glitters Lavish Adamant Gloomy Not indifferent Just in love Shhh... Listen You can see them now There... A concord of mottled birds They chatter nested under my dome Envy, power, greed Envy, power, greed Envy, power, greed It can’t be It can’t be They should make a song out of that A little happy tune For kids To cleverly repeat on the street When they hunt each other down For a piece of over-nourished flesh.

Glow 06:35
A mind is like a cage It’s like a highly extinguished God-alike misunderstanding A superb vision of sorrows And trees With non existing fingers I indulge I indulge And then I wither Glow Glow Glow Every commandment of rhythm Is done

about

english

This is the band's debut album. “Junky” have been active since the early 2000s. Their line-up has drifted overtime and as of 2017 has settled on the quartetlike form of jx2mas (Bass, Contrabass), Ioannis Lamprakos (Guitars), Maestro Komikern (Vocals, Live Visuals) and Takis Siamantis / Grandmaster (Drums).

Junky's work thrives at the intersection of sound and moving image incorporating heavy lines and experimentation which lead to a systematic exploration of audiovisual artistry. Their compositions create landscapes of sound unearthing energies, memories and explosions straight out of the void. Their lyrics assimilate poetry, folklore and a mystic element that altogether swivel between serenity and madness.

“A series of pictures passed, like watching a movie: A huge, neon-lighted cocktail bar that got larger and larger until streets, traffic, and street repairs were included in it; a waitress carrying a skull on a tray; stars in a clear sky. The physical impact of the fear of death; the shutting off of breath; the stopping of blood.” - William S. Burroughs

ελληνικά

Αυτό είναι το ντεμπούτο άλμπουμ του συγκροτήματος. Οι "Junky" δραστηριοποιούνται από τις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 2000. Η σύνθεσή τους έχει διαφοροποιηθεί με την πάροδο του χρόνου και από το 2017 έχει κατασταλάξει στην τετραμελή μορφή των jx2mas (μπάσο, κοντραμπάσο), Ιωάννη Λαμπράκου (κιθάρες), Maestro Komikern (φωνητικά, Live Visuals) και Τάκη Σιαμαντή / Grandmaster (τύμπανα).

Η δουλειά των Junky ευδοκιμεί στη διασταύρωση του ήχου και της κινούμενης εικόνας ενσωματώνοντας βαριές γραμμές και πειραματισμούς που οδηγούν σε μια συστηματική εξερεύνηση της οπτικοακουστικής καλλιτεχνίας. Οι συνθέσεις τους δημιουργούν ηχητικά τοπία ανασύροντας ενέργειες, αναμνήσεις και εκρήξεις κατευθείαν από το κενό. Οι στίχοι τους αφομοιώνουν την ποίηση, τη λαογραφία και ένα μυστικιστικό στοιχείο που συνολικά περιστρέφονται μεταξύ γαλήνης και τρέλας.

"Μια σειρά από εικόνες που περνούσαν, σαν να βλέπεις μια ταινία: Ένα τεράστιο, φωτισμένο με νέον, κοκτέιλ μπαρ που γινόταν όλο και μεγαλύτερο, μέχρι που συμπεριλήφθηκαν σε αυτό δρόμοι, κυκλοφορία και επισκευές δρόμων- μια σερβιτόρα που μετέφερε ένα κρανίο σε δίσκο- αστέρια σε έναν καθαρό ουρανό. Ο φυσικός αντίκτυπος του φόβου του θανάτου- το κλείδωμα της αναπνοής- το σταμάτημα του αίματος". - William S. Burroughs
