Maybeland 02:39
Maybe she was right and this empty soul was not made to fight Maybe she was right and these empty eyes cannot see the light What if she was wrong and this pain would give no need for a home Sleeping it through ever since she was born Can you feel the storm? Pounding in his chest Maybe she was right and the clock is set Every drop of blood feeds a particle of an angry bomb One way out of this An ignition solves any mystery Pregnant forever is the other way I'll just wait 'till May

Lazy God 03:16
Degeneration 'til a final demise A generation as data in disguise Some will be treated will be treated with love Then it's repeated, with small stains on your glove Smell of fear hangs in the air Am I the answer to something; Ι don't care Accidental truth making of a lazy god This inquisition is your test after all This might be my turn, what if you are just as small Against the wall of this plastic hell Am I the answer to something; I don't care Accidental truth Poem of a lazy god I never gave you the permission to start

I See Death 04:39
I’ll be ready for you when I’m through When most things are different And three time zones away We will stay awake for no reason Not ready for the lie, it’s too soon I am stuck on the feeling I’ll be ready to feel love Not ready for the sky, it’s too soon I am stuck on the ceiling Tidal waves on the moon, they exist As long as you can see them I’ll be ready to feel love I see death Rain goes on for three days, but we’ll wait It won’t rain forever The projection remains, but I’ll wait I’m thought to be clever I’ll be ready to feel love I see death

Ovatron 02:36
Lost in a sky of trust and pleasure No one remembers your name Fears and decisions turn into water Love and remorse feel the same And if I take you there No one you know is dead

I. Everyone is said to deserve his fate You may choose what the future will bring Others are born destined for pain But I ‘ve got the power to take it away for your own sake Some say they 're waiting in line Don't be afraid I've done it before Erasing the past is better than dying So you wish it were true So said the Pillowman He grabbed my hand at the edge of the cliff What a relief! I felt like a thief who burns the getaway car himself II. Not long ago Well I believed that all this love for you was easy Not long ago I did believe that all this love for me was easy for you too
6.
Antigone 03:40
Killing his kin for treason Most of my gods are mad and displeased I could not resist a reason to fight for everyone Bury me up in ashes Cover my body and set it free Counting the marks of lashes bury me like a seed No one will know you came here No one will see the blood on your hands And who will ever notice change when it comes from me I guess you could just leave me be Dissolving in the air they breathe Antigone
7.
Metaphor 02:33
Woke up in a field of green Can't remember how I ended up here Just recall; I found a way On her island through her eyes And the trees are all her memories so far And my favorite kind of tree is what she thinks of me and that tree is shining like a star On the island for three years I found the hot springs of her secret dreams and an ego washed away An island waiting to be built On the island for three years and counting The forest is now dark and blue Lava swallows every tree and every mountain What's that coming after me?
8.
Apart 04:28
You ask me if I feel the connection You make me feel like it’s my call I have to say I have no recollection Of myself and my imminent fall Swimming in a shallow sea I see it coming Repetition will swallow us whole Someday Sometimes we live like we ‘ve never seen the rain I’m not the only one Come to think of it I saw it In the different colors of your eyes A tiny keyhole view of the future Will we recognize the signs? Someday Sometimes we live like we ‘ve never seen the rain I’m not the only one The universe is expanding Keeps us apart
9.
Pelorian 04:04
Heads and necks are fixed looking at the shadows Moving images and echoes on the walls Here we stand all of us We live without a face Here we stand all of us With our heads in braces One day there are no bonds Nothing to restrain him He forgot the cause as they forgot to train him Steps out of the cave There are no projections Looks up at the sun There are no reflections He wouldn't stay for long He's coming back to save us Can't believe what he said and his eyes were dead “Don't be afraid of me And strap my head in place”
10.
Vixen Tapes 02:20
Overwhelming the things we say I’m into love that makes me pay There’s no good reason for you to stay I’d rather lie now if I may Undecided we’re easy prey It’s only sane to push me away Empty handed and in the way I’m into love that makes me pay

about

Two years have passed since their creation. Two years full of recordings and live performances and The Cave Children are now ready to share their first album, entitled “Quasiland”.

Dreamy psychedelic melodies, cinematic themes and raw garage rock outbursts are blended to accompany the existential and sarcastic lyrics of “Quasiland”. The title of the album with first synthetic the word “quasi” comments the political, social and professional uncertainty in which the album was completed and the lyrics of the 10 tracks suggest 10 different approaches to the meaning of Quasiland. The Athenian quartet has been influenced, among others, by the evocative soundtracks of Danny Elfman, The Beatles of 1969, Frank Zappa’s sarcasm, the British 90s, Greek music and the new psychedelic rock scene. The album was co-produced by Ekelon and The Cave Children with respect to the lo-fi aesthetics of the initial demos.

“Quasiland” is out on digital album on April 14th, on cd on May 25th and on vinyl including bonus cd on June 15th from Inner Ear.
