Slow down Hush now Silence is golden. Baby, I cave in Under your shoulders. And I’d never hurt you, Never let you down again. It will never burn us out, Never tear apart again, Again. I see you walking away... Hush now, Burned out again. Silence killed the moment, I didn’t speak back then. Never burn us out, Never tear apart again. I see you walking away... It will never burn us out, Never tear apart again.

Walked around here like a thousand times Heavy back's holding stiff I've been in all your lives Strong in the head. I used to be blindness. My eyes used to see the powder of yesterday thickens on me. I have been in all your lives in all your tragedies. I've been your sister and your dead lover but in this life I should be your other half.

How ’bout leaving all this behind, behind us? I don’t want to... No, I don’t want to waste all your time, ’cos I respect mine. On the other side there is a different kind of love, now I know what it feels like to open up my heart. Once I was a child It was not long ago I only knew your ways of self-destruction oh how many times have I had to tell you so? that you are not the one I am not disposable. How about you coming around to my house I just want to... I just want to lay in my bed With you on my side. On the other hand You have a different kind of friend, so why make it harder? Once I was a child It was not long ago I only knew your ways of self-destruction oh how many times have I had to tell you so? that you are not the one I am not disposable. Time’s passing by You will stop Running away from your love. Your soul and mine are moving as one to create a kind of beauty unheard of Once I was a child It was not long ago I only knew your ways of self-destruction oh how many times have I had to tell you so? that you are not the one I am not disposable. To my true love I am not disposable.

Lazy eyes full of wonder, Myrrh tree burst asunder. Oh, can you see me resting under Crown of green, Touched by thunder. I can’t compare this love I feel to the ones before. Creation of a higher king We are art you’re home my everything I was taken from you Seven lives before. My love, I don’t need you here to know we are meant to be. Come closer, so close that I can see, that you feel the same for me. Crazy eyes for you, lover Scent of the warmest color Oh, it smells like forever Soul deep touched by mother My love, I don’t need you here to know we are meant to be. Come closer, so close that I can see, that you feel the same for me.

about

After 2018's Twentytwo 22 LP and remixes from Brandt Brauer Frick and Vessels, Théque boss Mïus returns to his own label with new album ‘Études de Battements’ featuring collaborations with singers Dóri Hegyi and Raf Skowronski.

Made over the course of a year-long process where he invited musicians to join the recordings in London, Budapest and Szeged, 'Étude de Battements' means “beat studies” and is a concept album focusing on beats, mixing different styles and creating mash-ups with the help of classical instruments and analog synthesisers. The album title refers to the pioneering electronic music composer, Pierre Schafer, and comes after the acclaimed set designer and architect's first two albums picked up radio plays from the likes of BBC 6 Music, as well as plenty of press coverage across Europe.

Stunning opener 'Étude Cédrus's is a free rhythm piece composed with the sound of collapsing icebergs. It slowly grows rhythmic with techno beats rolling beneath, and the title refers to the painting of Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka. 'Étude Five on the Floor' is a quirky techno cut in 5/4 time with jazz elements laced up with the five kick loop. Things become downtempo with influences of Eastern style vocals on 'Étude Golden Silence' then 'Étude Articulation' is an articulation of slowly changing eighth notes with the sound of a choir. Waltz beats and blues vocals mix in harmony on 'Étude All Your Lives', techno meets samba in outer space on 'Étude Solar Samba' and 'Étude Kvintola' is a quintuplet arpeggio with recordings of an acoustic piano adding real tenderness.

After lead single 'Étude Disposable' there's the magical duet of a female vocal and arpeggiator on 'Étude Adonis', bassoon and techno on 'Étude Ping Pong' and classic house with jazz piano on 'Étude Piano in the House’ before polyphonic madness closes things out on 'Étude 4x5.'

This is another forward-thinking album of excellently realised and mature musical themes from this singular
Hungarian artist.
