Fake Laugh 03:55
Dear, are you feeling tired? Tell me, are youu feeling wired? Baby, are you feeling mired? Uh, what do you say? What’s going on? You don’t answer me tonight You don’t answer when I call You don’t answer when I cry Is this right? Forgetting a moment about a lie Maybe It’s easier to die Maybe It’s easier to die Maybe It’s easier There is nothing to do Fake Like the grins upon your face On a stormy and windy day Your image in every place For the tension up all night Like a pulsion up all night My depression up all night For the tension up all night Like a pressure up all night Your illusion up all night Is this right? Forgetting a woman about a lie Maybe It’s easier to die Maybe It’s easier to die Maybe It’s easier There is nothing to do There is nothing to do Forgetting what you did It’s not a simple thing Expecially for me There is nothing to do There is nothing, nothing to do There is nothing to do

Mosquito 03:38
Did you ever feel the breeze? On a calm and desert sea? Surely there is where I want to be Did you ever feel the bees? Or mosquitos on your knees? People always talk a lot about me Only need to scream and shout over voices of a noisy mass Only need to punch the television screen Or only cut the power of the neighbourhood, Of the neighbourhood Bees are running, bees are running, bees are running around Bees are running, bees are running, bees are running around Only need to scream and shout over voices of a noisy mass Only need to silence the radio channels of the middle class Only need to punch the television screen Or only cut the power of the neighbourhood Only need to push the button till the end, I wanna finally find out what I am, what I am Bees are running, bees are running around, bees are running away

All around the fire All around a phantom’s watching me He’s watching us What kind of vibe do you want? Seated on the ground Seated on the dust he calls my name He calls our name What kind of thrill do you need? If Miles will play, we gotta have faith As long as his memory crosses spaces, we’ll have the chance All around the hope All around a spirit’s over me On top of us What kind of sway do you want? Seated on the floor Seated on the hell he cheers this day He screams our name What kind of heat do you need? If Miles will play, we gotta have faith As long as his memory crosses spaces, we’ll have the chance If Chet will sing, we gotta have breath As long as his voice belongs to Jesus, we’ll have the creed

Every emotion now For every commotion now There’s a scientific basis There’s a creative mind Every devotion now For every solution now There’s a scientific reason There's a magnetic power Cause the time is running fast When I look into your eyes Our love is running high I suppose it’s out of control I suppose it’s out of my head I suppose it’s out of us An explosion breaks the banks by the river on the hill An implosion causes collapsis Of the frame that we’re made of The confusion makes me mad On the lonely and barren street The reclusion makes me sad When I want to spread my wings Let it crush, let it crush This our heart in a million grains Let it burn, let it burn Then we’ll rise and we’ll return Again

Weird Moves 05:31
I always dream this the days I drive at dawn I dream that the people follow me Keep on riding and riding and riding along the road Keep on falling, failing, finding more and more Can you feel the night as a prayer? I’m gonna shock that crowd until the morning sun will come Can you twist tonight, can you twist? I’m gonna move my arms and legs without the competence Girls should want him, girls should want a boy like me Girls should want it, girls should want more Girls should want him, girls should want a boy like you Girls should want it, girls should want more I always dream this the days I’m all alone I dream that the people turn to me Keep on running, running, running down the road Keep on falling, failing, finding someone new Can you feel the night as a pleasure? I’m gonna shut that crowd until the morning sun will rise Can you twist tonight, can you twist? I’m gonna shake my arms and legs without embarrassment Girls should want him, girls should want a boy like me Girls should want it, girls should want more Girls should want him, girls should want a boy like you Girls should want it, girls should want more Girls should want him, girls should want a boy Girls should want it, girls should want more (All the girls should want it) Girls should want him, girls should want a boy like me Girls should want it, girls should want more (All the girls should wants more)

Body Down 03:51
I’m walking on the sidewalk Not a typical sidewalk but a sidewalk with a body The flames in my feet while I’m talking with a stranger In a stranger street with a gun in the hand With a gun in my head And I’m hearing all the shots, the shots in the air With the blood in my new shoes, the blood in my new t-shirt A bullet is travelling, it’s travelling inside me and they want me down, and they want me a dead man I’m walking on the sidewalk Not a typical sidewalk, the body is mine I’m walking on the sidewalk Not a typical sidewalk but a sidewalk with a body The flames in my feet while I’m talking with a stranger In a stranger street with a gun in the hand With a gun in my head And I’m hearing all the shots, the shots in the air With the blood in my new shoes, the blood in my new t-shirt A bullet is travelling, it’s travelling inside me and they want me down, and they want me a dead man I’m walking on the sidewalk Not a typical sidewalk, the body is mine The body is mine The body is mine The body is mine

Uh! There’s an airplane above my head A train in the night, a flame that burns inside A runaway, a runaway, a runaway And not a shame For once I try to do by myself Believe me, the last call, the end is near It’s an escape from reality, A trip into the fantasy to another place Cause I’m not a slave A runaway, a runaway, a runaway And not a game For once I try to do by myself The earth will swallow the followers, the earth The earth will swallow the automatons, the earth I’m a runaway in front of your mistakes, In front of this earthquake In front of you And please, apologize! Or it will be too late Or it will be too late

I pray I pray at night That someone come and get me The end of all my days is begun I wait the call of my friend On me, you bet on me You call me down from there You call me down from there Uhm delicious, ambitious, attractive for what I see I’m relaxing my senses, I’m flexing my nose I’m relaxing my senses, I’m flexing my toes My nose, my toes, my nose, my toes A space without trace of corrupted race We play with balloons, as when we were children In forbidden places Who can stop us now, nobody knows me That is crazy, nobody knows you Nobody cares By now Um daschiriri boom here we go now Daschiriri boom but we are freer Schiriri boom shaking, shaking, shaking heads Shaking off Shaking heads Shaking off Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, that was fun, that was fun, that was weird, like a drum, that was weird, I was drunk, I was Oh my god, my dear God, You should know that I was drunk You should know that I was dropped, You should know that I'm in trouble and You should know this I lose the straight line

about

“Default” consists of 8 tracks, summary of the composition work during the last year of the duo.

The songs are supported by an instrumental base where electronics alternates with ambient soundscapes and references between post-punk and art-rock.

Ideally, the album follows the trails traced by Radiohead and Portishead, blending lastly with the experimentations, dear to the British IDM of the 90’s, of Boards of Canada and Autechre.

Regarding the lyrics, all texts are in English and these approach the concept of escape from a society increasingly in decline, degraded and poor of values in which the individual is no longer recognized.

The goal is to put the center of the album a reflection on the condition of modern man.
