Get away from your darkest times there is a new thing going on, don't pass me by take my chances, keep a voodoo mind gazing at a bluebird flying high, so high Last night I saw a dirty little thing but she won't sleep with me, now it seems she scatters all her loving in the air but she doesn't give a damn about me, anyway Shake it off, break it down, breathing in, breathing out Keep all your lovers in a row, when the one comes don't forget to take a bow...

Telling lies to feel alive, there's a thing going on inside...

Say Say 02:42
Time flies like grains of sand in the sky all the smiling faces walk in a row and pass me by say, say, say, you're the only one for me picking up the pieces, I could never tell the way you seem Take your time, wear your perfume and run saw you last night, you were hanging around with another man say, say, say, you're the only one for me picking up the pieces, I could never tell the way you seem Surprised in various places give me pleasure in the palm of my hand we're back in our regular basis can you feel the way I feel for you?

The things you do, reversing beauty, take me by surprise and all the stars, that smile upon us, have vanished from our sight our hopes, our dreams, our glories are far behind us when you have nothing, then you know exactly what you really want, but it feels so fucking wrong I won't let you fly to the sky I will drag you down to the ground The things you say, reversing beauty, take me by surprise and all the stars, that shine above us, have vanished from our sight in the streets, the phony people are passing me by not a chance to find a purpose to lay my head down, so I'm taking you down I won't let you fly to the sky (you throw my dreams on the sidewalk) I will drag you down to the ground (and you 're laughing at me) I will drag you down to the ground for us (what are you laughing at?)

Amaye 04:34
All the funny things you do, treading water for excuse and grieving bring me all the sunny shades, find the light and drop cocaine, deceiving had a crash with Nancy Boom, now I think I love only you won't you shut your bloodshot eyes for freedom? Freedom comes from deep within, but your beauty is stunning me keep on dancing and do down the roses...

Bring the sunshine, dolomite jollity...

The Letter 01:23
I wrote a letter to my daughter and then...
8.
Children 03:57
Children of tomorrow sitting in a round casting spells, but never making a single sound no one believes them, when they say we fall apart spinning clockwise, forgetting the orbit of the sun we came from Children of tomorrow never laugh for too long spinning clockwise all their manners' behavior Breeding all their confidence in the light of the sun in keeping with the sun that gives you warmth and strength to carry on tomorrow will the day come to me, mother? emon din ki habe ma tara and the flowers will open am I writing from the heart? will the day come to me, mother? I feel stranded and so desperate when the darkness will vanish? you are formless, staying everywhere...

For Trish 02:25
Lazy children come around, passing the time feeling bright, I don't know why Inner-sleeve obnoxious, preaching for naked sun tell your daughters and your sons I want the backseat of your train so confused, got nothing to say Lazy children come around, wasting my time feeling bright, I don't know why My problems may surround me, but I have the glaring stars shining bright above my head I want the backseat of your train so confused, got nothing to say breathing in and out, passing the time, growing old
11.
Last Summer 02:33
All the people running where do they go? All the people running what do they know? Her pretty face touched by the wind silver apples swirling in reversed streams all the people running now, where do they go? all the people running now, what do they know?

Bog 04:15
Taken by the sunrise sunlight in your hair naked sun is dancing to the opposite side of your head I could stand relieved, by the window pane naked souls are dancing keep your heart restrained stepping out of nowhere gaining something new losing all your freedom when the feeling is right I don't know what to say because the sun may shine upon you...

about

One year and a half after the release of their debut album Baby Guru return with a new album, which is titled "Pieces". A year and a half full of live performances and reviews that have characterized them as the best new Greek band. During this time, the trio of Prins Obi, King Elephant and Sir Kosmiche haven’t stopped creating, experimenting and playing music. Baby Guru stick out their tongues at the high expectations, created by their self-titled first album and continue to do what they know and love, with humility and total dedication, signing once again the production, arrangement and all the recordings of the album.

The album opens dynamically with the spell of "Necessary Voodoo" (Get away from your darkest times / there is a new thing going on ...), followed by electrified and atmospheric moments that compose the music nirvana of "Pieces" through 13 kaleidoscopic tracks. Warm earthy tones (The Things You Do, Last Summer), impressive vocal harmonies (Naked Sun, Amaye), colorful psychedelia (Say, Say), abstract beauty (Dolomite Jollity) and addictive percussion (Children, Bog) are mapping the journey of listening through major roads and secret paths. A trip sometimes lazily sunny (For Trish) and sometimes evocatively dark (The Letter, Cyclamen Persicum), with personal stories of the band that mix magically with an energy from other eras that have something of Chaucer's medieval mysticism and Thoreau’s paganism. Besides, Baby Guru’s present is located somewhere between two musical eternities that of the past and that of the future. The rich musical influences (from Can to Mike Oldfield and from Aphrodite’s Child to Syd Barrett) revive, reinforcing their ties with music, and after a debut album where the guitars were conspicuous by their absence, here the band renews its faith to the guitar with the blessings of Jimi Hendrix.

“Pieces” is released on vinyl and cd from Inner Ear.
