Unique, mesmeric, spiralling experimental electronica merged with soulful vocals by the Tahitian/Parisian band (also known as QuinzeQuinze), in a “landscape of a marvellous nightmare”, taken from their forthcoming EP Ataheva, out on S76 in November. Sweet melodies interweave with dark, grumbling basslines and sputtering R&B beats. The accompanying video is “in our mythology, Ataheva is represented by a swarm of flies, the cloud of mourning, the one that flies over and lands on the decomposing bodies weaving the funeral dress. It is the first observer and the last companion of the passage to death.” Ataheva is an imaginary ritual from the band’s own mythology. “It recalls the Polynesian funeral rite known as Heva Tupapa’u (weeping for the corpse).”

What is this place ?
Is it me or is it beautiful?
Colours and flavours
That I’ve never ever tasted before.
What is this place ?
Is it me or is it beautiful?
Look at my face,
I’m just smiling for no reason
And I’m loving it.
Hmm no, I don’t wanna go back,
I don’t wanna go back to the future
Hmm no, I don’t wanna go back,
Can I stay for a night just to be sure
Can’t you see the stars?
They’ll be waiting for you..
Can’t we leave our scars behind us?
The storm that warned us
Makes me wonder..
Can you see the stars?
They shine and rise like you do
This is the perfect heaven
But all I needed was you.
What is this place?
Is it me or is it beautiful?
Seems to be fake
Cause I’m feeling too much insecure
What is this place?
Is it me or is there something wrong
Look at my face,
I’m just smiling for no reason
And I don’t get it.
No, I will never go back,
I will never go back to the future
Hmm no, I will never go back,
I will never go back…
