Plastic Stars Above (lyrics: Ondřej Černohorský) Come with me Be brave now To melt into a land of peace and silence Put down your gun Let time flow Around you Inside you Demagnetize the steel sky above Neutralize cosmic dust with rust and fire Come with me Be brave now To melt into land of peace and calm Put down your gun Let time flow through your palms Inside you Grab your spear and I will send you a million miles away to find truth and light under plastic stars above blinking out their stories Far beyond the past Far beyond the past and what's to come Come with me Be calm now and step into the stillness of your patience Life is a sea So turn into a wave and crash against the reef become a rainbow Sometimes You need a whale to ride on Sometimes You need to sink deeper Grab your spear and I will send you a million miles away to find truth and light under plastic stars above blinking out their stories Far beyond the past Far beyond the past and what's to come

Stale Situation (lyrics: Martin Semerád) You find it in the sand A little piece of glass When you count backwards And try to look through it It slows down time Then you can see Rays of the light Hitting cosmic dust At this point, you swear It's never been this bright Saturated colors Are dancing around the edges It makes you paralyzed Then you can see Wasted time Turning into rust I'll do my best to fake this conversation Words trapped in bubbles until they pop We've found ourselves in a stale situation I wouldn't dare to make it stop Blink once you're out

Fake (lyrics: Ondřej Černohorský) Nobody knows it, that I'm fake Nobody knows but me Nobody knows it, that I'm fake Nobody knows but me My life’s as great as I can manage sometimes I manage more Nobody sees my fatigue When I get home and lock my door Then the walls start to eat my clothes Leaving me here, feeling so low Nobody knows my emptiness Nobody knows, I hope I can only lay on the cold ground Feel the pain in my guts Then paint new face I need to show And leave those burning cuts To be great again To be great again To be great again Nobody knows it but me I’m feeling so alone Nobody knows it but me when I put on a show I'm living my tale, just trying to be Someone I'm not, someone I can't be Trying to hide my deepest lie And day by day keep it in secrecy Until I explode Until I explode Until I explode I can only lay on the cold ground Feel the pain in my guts Then paint new face I need to show And leave these burning cuts To be great again To be great again To be great again Until I explode Until I explode Until I explode

Stranger in Your Heart (lyrics: Ondřej Černohorský) So tell me, who's the stranger in your heart? Come closer, so I can see him in your eyes. So tell me, who's the stranger in your backyard? Come closer … Lights on the ceiling Lights on the floor Straight to my heart Straight to my core Inside the warmth From burning wounds Just one door, open it You’ll get lost. Lights city lights Like butterflies Dealers of hope For wandering souls They sell glowing stones And maybe more Salvation, Extinction Emptiness, Happiness It's a beautiful sight when you get lost Those shining eyes With concrete hearts Live in the corners I left behind It's easy to hurt It doesn't bite back It takes a part of your soul Creeps in my ears They never sleep Feeding a beast In deepest dreams Her friendly kiss Is cold like a moon It's a beautiful sight So tell me, who's the stranger in your heart? Come closer, so I can see him in your eyes. So tell me, who's the stranger in your backyard? come closer … cause I know mine

Lavender Insomnia (lyrics: Ondřej Černohorský) Smoke signals going forward and backwards at the same time Over the horizon lonely atoms play with chance and fortune like stars And scratches in the landscape are tearing apart this moment Need to decide which parts of mine to keep… A lonely witch has walked into a desert holding a mandolin Night eyes closed Creatures by the fire staring at me They are painted like little flags The lonely witch plays mandolin from a distance I can hear it Need to decide which parts of mine to keep and which parts to sacrifice. … All creatures sleep Lavender dreams I’m still awake Want to see this moment on the wall. Nailed. To keep looking at it but it must burn now, be dissolved in sunshine All creatures sleep Lavender dreams I’m still awake Want to see this moment on the wall. Nailed. To keep looking at it but it must burn now but it must burn …

Stargazer (lyrics: Ondřej Černohorský) Gazing at the stars See the falling stars Looking high above Looking high above Lost happiness and love Marked with bruises and faint scars No glances to the past No glances to the past

about

Album Plastic Stars zvukově navazuje na předchozí desku Ghosts, zároveň ale překračuje její žánrovou sešněrovanost a objevuje nové hudební prostory.
“U Plastic Stars jsme chtěli prozkoumat nová hudební teritoria a posunout se od písničkové formy a taneční estetiky směrem k objevování zvukových ploch a pomalu se rozvíjejících gradací. Proto jsme třeba zkoušeli propojovat písně dohromady, nebo nechávat déle vyznít ambientní pasáže. Zároveň jsme v některých momentech zůstali věrní hutným beatům a hlubokým basovým linkám.”
Skladby reflektují snahu vyrovnat se s každodenním stereotypem a uniknout z něj, nebo zkoumat vlastní já a přijmout ho se všemi jeho chybami a nedokonalostmi. Osm písní je protkaných motivem bloudění pod noční oblohou, která je jedna z mála věcí, která nám doopravdy zbývá a bude tu neměnná po celou naší existenci. Písně na desku vznikaly v průběhu covidové izolace a autorem většiny textů je Ondřej Černohorský alias Ocze.

about

Hard to Frame Lysá Nad Labem, Czech Republic

They balance subtlety and dreamlike atmospheres with deep vibrant beats drawing inspiration from dubstep, d'n'b, and minimalist techno.
