Bardzo dziękujemy wszystkim, którzy przyszli nas zobaczyć w Kamieniołomach. Cieszymy się, że mogliśmy znowu zagrać w Warszawie, mamy nadzieję, że nie po raz ostatni:) Jednocześnie przepraszamy Was za podłą jakość nagłośnienia. Oczywiście nie było to zależne od nas, ale podjęliśmy już decyzję, że nie będziemy więcej grać poniżej pewnego poziomu technicznego. Nie jest to łatwe z uwagi na to, że póki co dopłacamy do koncertów, a jak wiadomo dobry sprzęt wiąże się z kosztami.

Tak czy inaczej obiecujemy, że przyszłe koncerty Microexpressions będą stały na odpowiednim poziomie jeżeli chodzi o nagłośnienie i akustykę – już my tego dopilnujemy. Mamy również nadzieję, że mimo wszystko dobrze bawiliście się w piątek – bo my tak!:)

Pozdrawiamy i do zobaczenia na przyszłych koncertach:)

Hey,

Just got back from our Czech Mini-mini-mini Tour. As usually we were stopped by Czech police close to PL-CZ border, but fortunately they let us go when they realized that, apart from a bunch of roadies (our best friends), we’re not transporting any refugees and that our own equipment did not turn out to be TNT. We played in Liberec (Burn It) with a number of cool Czech bands (check out Vivien’s Shadow, Please the Trees and and Ufajr) and then we travelled to Prague to gig in 007. Again we met a lot of amazing people there and are looking forward to meet all of them again. We are totally astounded with the number of EPs we managed to sold in Prague! It was a great weekend. We’d like to thank Ufajr, Tomas Kubin and Vladimir Vrabec for organizing everything. It’s a job well done guys!

Take a look at some pics:

Morning!
Many thanks za przybycie na koncerty w Jeleniej Gorze i w Warszawie w zeszły weekend! To był świetny czas, dużo jeżdżenia i mało snu. Pobiliśmy rekord Guinessa w pakowaniu sprzętu do samochodu osobowego, przejechaliśmy za szybko koło 39 fotoradarow (czekam na zdjęcia), zjedliśmy rakotwórczą pizze i banany w czekoladzie (które nie były bananami). Magda zrobiła nam zajebiste kanapki (dzięki Madzia!), a potem tankowaliśmy na stacji WTORMEX (piękna nazwa, nieprawdaż?) gdzieś na mokradłach w centralnej Polsce, gdzie horyzont zaczyna się już po 130 metrach.

W Jelonce było trochę lipnie z dźwiękiem, ale ostatecznie wyszło dobrze. W Warszawie poznaliśmy kupę świetnych ludzi, zarówno z publiczności jak i wśród organizatorów i innych zespołów, które grały tego dnia na Magnetofon Festiwal. Jakbyście mieli kiedyś okazję pójść na koncert Eric Shoves Them In His Pockets lub Paula i Karol, to nie zastanawiajcie się ani minuty – polecamy! Dziewczyny, które chciałyście płytę, a już jej nie było (bo my jak zwykle wzięliśmy za mało), dajcie znać! A tutaj parę fotek:

Więcej zdjęć jest w naszych Facebookowych albumach: Hydrozagadka i Pestka.

A my teraz szykujemy się na Liberec, Pragę, Sopot, Węgorzewo i Łódź. Stójcie nastrojeni = stay tuned.

Porcys.com dwa dni temu napisał krótką notkę o samym kawałku Festival, a dzisiaj opublikował pełną recenzję płyty Deep Snow EP napisaną przez Mateusza Jędrasa, Łukasza Konatowicza, Łukasza Łacheckiego i Michała Zagrobę.

Pozostało nam jedynie jeszcze raz Wam pięknie podziękować za to wszystko panowie. Jesteśmy zaszczyceni, że nas wyhaczyliście i napisaliście tak świetną reckę. Jest do dla nas najlepsza nagroda jaką mogliśmy sobie wymarzyć. Kudoz!

Całą reckę można przeczytać tutaj: http://porcys.com/Reviews.aspx?id=1260

A nas samych będzie można już niedługo usłyszeć na żywo. Na pewno zagramy na Magnetoffon Festival w warszawskiej Hydrozagadce 29 maja 2010 oraz na Seven Festival w Węgorzewie między 8 a 11 lipca 2010.

Do zobaczenia!

Dochodzą nas słuchy (np. wczoraj w sklepie z gaśnicami) pytające o teksty naszych kawałków. Otóż wiadomo, że wszystkie kupiliśmy na allegro od Jacka Cygana na licytacji BCM. Łatwo nie było – raty w Żaglu nieźle nas męczą, ale ponoć niedługo mamy dostać jakiś szmal za ziemie poniemieckie i może jakoś uda się wyjść na prostą. Wybuliliśmy całkiem sporo, także myślę, że możemy się teraz nimi pochwalić oficjalnie. Oto one:

Aha.. jeszcze nie.. to będą teksty z Deep Snow EP oraz kilka innych, które można usłyszeć live, bo nielive nie można bo nie mamy wersji nagranej.

Brief Exposure

I’ve projected my head
in a top-notch
erratic mode
Just highlight
all you’ve wanted
all my dodges
you’ve pondered on

The brief exposure ends
your words collide in there
The brief exposure ends
got it wrong?

The brief exposure ends
your words collide in there
The brief exposure ends
take handfuls of retorts

You feel alone but do you
let all my vibes go through you?
Into the spine we’ll take it
Into the spine

It melts the stone like hot air
changes ice into water
it’s not a state of matter
We will blend in together

You feel alone but do you
let all my vibes go through you?
Into the spine we’ll take it
Into the spine we’ll take it

Great Haze

I found myself underwater
I knew there isn’t time to stick out of it
no air to get me out

It wasn’t long until I noticed
another people walking down in the deep
looking straight up at me

YOU STAY BELOW THE SURFACE
DON’T GASP FOR AIR
IT’S SOMETHING YOU GOTTA TRY
WE’VE HAD A GO
WE’RE NOT GONNA MISS WHAT’S UP THERE

YOU STAY AWAY FROM SURFACE
DON’T GASP FOR AIR
IT’S SOMETHING YOU GOTTA TRY
OR ELSE YOU’LL DROWN
TAKE YOUR TIME

So I didn’t think of drowning
and I felt I’m just becoming a part of the tide
it’s always been my own tide

I soon recalled seeing it all
all these people I saw them somewhere before
this water felt much the same

Within seconds it was obvious
It’s so natural to live without oxygen
no point in breathing at all

But it made me start to wonder
what let me to believe I had to submerge
and then I heard it again

YOU STAY BELOW THE SURFACE
DON’T GASP FOR AIR
IT’S SOMETHING YOU GOTTA TRY
WE’VE HAD A GO
WE’RE NOT GONNA MISS WHAT’S UP THERE

YOU STAY AWAY FROM SURFACE
DON’T GASP FOR AIR
IT’S SOMETHING YOU GOTTA TRY
OR ELSE YOU’LL DROWN
TAKE YOUR TIME

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE GREAT HAZE
HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED EARTHWARDS
HAVE YOU EVER FELT THE GREAT HAZE
HAVE YOU…?

Deep Snow

I’m still there in the deep snow
checking out what’s beneath
Came to grips with this rough ice
but there’s more to cut through

Warm days bring it closer to the rind
to the rind
But hold on just one more moment
one more moment
you can tell from
from all that has hummed in your ears and..
all that you call fleeting glances

Clutch is a bond
I came for it
Clutch is a bond
You can release

Festival

It is the time I drew your virtues
my hands in shivers going back and forth
It takes a while to reconstruct moves
for drawing things I forgot

And I’m looking at your picture
with an utter disbelief
Even though it’s just your virtues
you don’t trust me at all

Why is it hard to believe me
I could take your aches off

GO AND MEET WHAT YOUR EYES SEE
TOUCH WHAT YOUR MINDS POSSES
THE DIFFERENCE YOU CREATE
BUILDS THE POTENTIAL OF…

YOUR MOTION IN THE AIR
YOUR FLEXIBILITY
THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME
I’M YOUR PIGMALION

I know you could own a whole mountain
With all its grounds and egocentric rocks
It takes a while to walk that distance
If your move is uniform

Not a gimmick nor a wild guess
are gonna stop eyes asking for more
I’m still looking at your picture
and there’s something wrong

Why is it hard to believe me
I could take your aches off

GO AND MEET WHAT YOUR EYES SEE
TOUCH WHAT YOUR MINDS POSSES
THE DIFFERENCE YOU CREATE
BUILDS THE POTTENTIAL OF
YOUR HUMAN SCOPE

Hyperspace

Storm
Storm
We are hiding in the grass
in prone positions

Cold
Cold
It feels so faint
It seems so

CALM
REACHING OUT
WILL YOU DIP YOUR HANDS IN THIS MIST?
SPLIT
WHAT YOU ARE
AND JUST DIP YOUR HANDS IN THIS CLOUD

Storm
Cold
Are we breathing noisome fumes
in all dimensions?

One
One
It looks so sole
unaided

So what is going on
with our-other-selves in the hyperspace?
Are we caught up in some tonic spells?

And what is going on
with every little shape in the hyperspace?
Aren’t they the things that we did not deserve?
Like a different universe, like a different universe
And you won’t delve into the past

CALM
REACHING OUT
WILL YOU DIP YOUR HANDS IN THIS CLOUD?

IS IT BEYOND THE FAR AND AROUND
OR HEMMED IN ALL SIDES?
ARE THERE THE MOVES WE WANTED TO MAKE
BUT CHANGED OUR MINDS?

No i teraz pozostałe teksty z nowej serii kawałków. Można je zaśpiewać razem z nami, ale trzeba przyjść na jakiś koncert – w Tak To Leciało niestety nie polecą…

Land can be

Silence was so violent
when you stepped into my place
your eyes just told back off boy
I’m taking all you’ve got

BUT I’M NOT MOVING
I’M NOT DROPPING OFF
I’M NOT MOVING
I’M NOT DROPPING OFF

And I remained as fixed as
land can possibly become
you sought me in the dark
you thought I’d be there fighting out

BUT I’M NOT FIGHTING
I’M NOT DROPPING OFF
I’M NOT FIGHTING
I’M NOT DROPPING OUT

It’s fine, when I follow the illogical reflections
they come for a ride
the false right

It’s fine, when you think I gave up all I followed
but it came for a ride
just for a..

but I’m not the ghost, I’m keeping you at bay
it won’t be long

AND YOU-ALL WILL HAVE TO RESIGN
IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW
NO ONE WILL HELP YOU STAY STILL
SO I’LL GET BACK TO MY PLACE NOW

That rises

They start it all from looking up
They’ll reach out to try
it’s far so it’s fine

No back-of-the-envelopes
no superfluous talks
no big game fancy quotes

Calculating macrocosm
a super-temporal spot
won’t take a single go

All of it can’t be just it
it is only as they are
but it’s far so it’s fine

God’s people on the curve
tidal locking is engaged
ohh they know how its gravity works

they have come up to its face
just to see a silver space
but discovered what no one had planned

now
sprouting from behind
empty craters like a blue new sun
did they come here to see it rise?

rise
rise

It is now shaping up its world
Breathing in all the cosmic forms
Moving water around its globe
and it spins it revolves it creates
it moulds, it shivers to maintain its warmth

It is now shaping up its world
Breathing in all the cosmic forms
Moving water around its globe
and so it is…

Fake miracles

There are wonders
seven we’ve built
and there was more to come
but no one tried hard

and there were stunning effects
when we were young
and we knew how to believe
in ourselves

and there was something in air
something we liked
it was more than our part
ubiquitous

There were wonders
seven we’ve built
and there was more to come
but no one tried hard

And now it’s gone
And now it’s gone x niewiadomo ile

Disabuse us
Tell me what you’re doing
Disillusionment
Is it temporary?
Disabuse us
Tell me where we’re going
if you know what’s next

Seven wonders
and conundrum stories
All under your bed
all like poor mnemonics
Slowly mixing up
with your brothers’ hand-me-downs
and toy telescopes

Loosing conciousness
coming round’s not easy
it’s your favourite thing
paramount activity
I am only hook’d
to sustained reality
and fake miracles

Waiting for
Miracles, Mirages, Miracles, Mirages, Miracles, Mirages, Miracles

___
So now we’re on the dessert grounds
with water that tumbles under burning sands
We wish it was then when we were young enough
to turn it all upside-down

All this crop-circling phase
like a grime all over your
face why don’t you wait
until you discriminate
birthmarks in your eyes
earmarks on my side
hallmarks on the sand
fake marks make no haste

Isle

Why can’t you see
me on the line
I’m holding sway
transfixing crowds

I’m dead to rights
I make no qualms

air your voice
straight from the mass
I will decipher the rustle

These two islands are my coups
of sorrow
and there’s no ocean reef
below
none to make their bottoms meet
so sorry
I’m a man on the wire

It is so tough to take it
that the distance’s not
the point

It is so hard to take it
that you were not
the point

One step from here
starts my trek
I know it too well
I learned the steps

Spans of thoughts and none will come to rest
I’m a hub, little spot, middle from tallest slabs
still so unalike

All the hopes made my inner balance grow
knock it off, fair enough, hit rock bottom rock
it’s a stepping stone

Giant in the forest

It came to me straight from the headlights
The wipers didn’t distort the heaviest parts
The smudgy rain-eyes watched me realize
I was close to getting all I’ve ever dreamed of

I WAS A GIANT IN FOREST
I WAS ALL YOU’VE EVER WANTED
AND IN EVERY LITTLE MOMENT
YOU LOVED ME

The road was empty for a moment
I didn’t know what to say now
You were somewhere in the corner
I knew you were there

And the rain didn’t stop falling
And I knew you were there

I WAS A GIANT IN FOREST
I WAS ALL YOU’VE EVER WANTED
AND IN EVERY LITTLE MOMENT
YOU LOVED ME

Far from what it is said to be
it is echoing what we can return
can we take..

Far from what it is said to be
it is echoing what we can return
can we take turns?

All like comets

I’m recalling your own words: Watch me get older
and you will start to understand it’s a knock-on effect ohh
Take it by surprise, by chance, when the dispair sets
It is moving by huge leaps but you can still try

I’ll make it up to your loss,
the only eclipse only I watched
every second you needed most

If I miss the joke
hidden somewhere in these accidental speaking holes, let me know
Just tap my back,
or hit me gently in my ancle if we’re alone, when we’re alone

I’ll make it up to for your loss,
the only  eclipse only I watched
every second you needed most

The downbeat reinforces have arrived
we were like all these kings with no empire
Governed the space of our own desire
Possesed the air we just…
kept in my lungs, in my veins, in my lungs, in my heart

We’re all like comets on the eliptic orbits
looking for a dark object that’s always in front
Get closer and closer to see it watching us
We only pass unstealth to stray away for years
