Dark Star Safari is a musical entity comprised of Jan Bang, Erik Honoré, Eivind Aarset, Samuel Rohrer and John Derek Bishop. Their second full-length offering Walk Through Lightly is the first to feature all five musicians together in the studio from the outset, making for a more organic refinement upon their already established methodology: gradually sculpting distinct songs out of collective improvisations, or using the raw material from initial recordings as the basis for more carefully articulated compositions. The final mix is one that invites few stylistic comparisons to other musical peers, and in fact few comparisons to existing genres. Though this second offering from the project is frosted over with a Scandinavian sense of spatiality and melancholy, it’s best listened to without considering any origin points, geographic or otherwise: from the opening moments of “Walk Through Lightly,” listeners will feel as if teleported directly into the middle of an enigmatic film-in-progress.
lyrics
Life Stand Still
Cloaked by the morning
Dancers in moonlight
Feeding on starlight
Faith is a virtue
Ricochet
First the warning
Then the call to arms
Ricochet
No defence could block
Your damned charms
Ricochet
Awake
Asleep
I’m all lost
Time stand still
Lost
Life stand still
Dark-eyed and yearning
Damned by your movements
Blessed with your purpose
Faith is a virtue
Ricochet
Bygone summers
Burning like a dream
Ricochet
No remorse could save me
From your schemes
Ricochet
Awake
Asleep
I’m all lost
Time stand still
Lost
Life stand still
Will
Will you stay

I have to restrain myself from being too effusive about 'Anyway, Still'. This is truly unique music of beautiful, beguiling power which resonates long after each listen. A true gift. I'll be eagerly awaiting all subsequent releases. Thank you Exit North. musicconnection
