Bright sin of the ether
Blurry in the ambit, like a red shield
With a ray, opens up to the eye
Divided sky in two
Eastern, despicable poison
Gathered in an instant
There are fields ready yet unrecognized sky
Like a felon in broad daylight
Bitterness, hurries down - burns behind the marshes
This fleeing distance of the corners - It throws a weak beam.
Over all these years, going through the motions in busy streets, courts and ballrooms, marching along with the parade, one will see an endless gallery of facades, masks, faux costumes, and contrived personas. Only a sensitive hand can tear down this adhered wallpaper of imitation. Standing under this gleaming sunrise is not an act of defiance, anger, or detachment; it is invitation, albeit a futile one, to see what lies beneath.
Copenhagen-based visual and musical artist øjeRum presents 'Lav Sol', an album of symbolistic landscapes seen through intuition. In his music, Paw Grabowski effortlessly combines traditional, classical themes and motives into contemporary poetic forms. The three long-take recordings of Lav Sol inspire to look for the truth under the surface.

Paw, as always, is magnificent, both in music and in the art of collages. A beautiful pianono story favors pre-sleep experiences and plunges into a mysterious melancholic atmosphere, the best combination for an autumn cloudy morning is difficult to find. Notnotice

Brings back a lot of personal track writing memories, does track one. Amazing music by ojerum. "Don't Worry Mother" is dark without even trying to be, the best kind of writer catharsis for an artist like ojerum. Mick Buckingham (Muttley SV)
