Photons 04:55
Death is carrying you Bringing you home Bolts the door Grows a worm Folds his hands on you Steady like a fungus Many times you’ve dreamed this Bowels of gold Gout and gallstones Blow the light from you A magical spell is on you A dance of particles in front of you Going home, obscured Going alone, I am sure A cloudy cloak on A growing mold coat Shiny place Flowing hormones The dead is on you Glowing photons Oh A magical spell is on you
2.
Don’t you know that I laugh about you? Don’t you know I don’t care for you? When you bang in gold Nothing’s left to do And everything’s round When you shag in gold and silver Tell me that you have another face Nothing else that I want to hear When you bang in gold Nothing’s left to do for you And everything’s right When you root in gold and silver Oh You drown in gold You bang in gold and silver You make me frown and shiver Oh, damn And everything’s round Yeah Oh You bang in gold and silver
3.
My hands drawing rings on your back Gradients fill the sun and the city The blacker the art, the brighter the muse The pain and the mourning fuel my living fire I dwell in my delusions Sometimes I need a minute to open up to you But then, after a while, I can dance I don't wanna go I dwell in my delusions I dwell in my delusions I dwell in my nightmares I dwell in pictures of you I dwell in my delusions
4.
Waterhole 03:51
Come back to the waterhole Meet me there, under the palm tree Come down, meteor Light the stillness and black of the night I’m minor and my mind’s on fire You’re a queen and you’re dead in your eyes The bad system of ours Feeding pieces of trash to our mouths The killing won’t stop Even our children are black in their hearts Don’t you dare to leave Don’t you miss the earth We’re human and our vice is pride You’re a thing and you’re dead in your eyes I’m tiny but my mind’s on fire Light the stillness and black of the night
5.
Time To Go 03:37
Everybody’s here And more are coming Nobody leaves No one makes place The stage is cleared The arm of trickery takes over The journey of money The need for sex Oh, it’s time to go Oh, it’s time to go (With that girl in your head) Your home keeps calling you There’s something wrong with you Where’s the fun about these Asshole party people That girl in your head You met her on a dating site She changes everything God damn you are a lucky one Oh, it’s time to go Oh, it’s time to go Oh Oh Oh, it’s time to go Oh, it’s time to go (With that girl in your head)
6.
Apeland 03:57
Nobody knows the genius in you There’s so much you can do To make them see Enter Apeland No one cares if you succeed Or if you make a complete fool out of you You funny bird You hide behind your inability to decide You wait for tomorrow But tomorrow never comes Enter Apeland Everybody here talks but no one is listening Everyone’s cool No one is common like you Oooh Oooh Enter Apeland No one here cares if you survive Or if you throw yourself into the fires of mount doom Ooh, enter Apeland Enter Apeland
7.
Portal 03:43
You are way too lame to stimulate me All gold is lost You enter the domain of my demanding soul Leave me alone No need to make wild calculations on how To cheer me up Ooh, aah Ooh, aah The key to the portal to a different world Beam me up You enter the domain of my demanding soul Leave me alone Aah
8.
You are so obvious I see right through you You always buy what they sell you You are such a pervert You are so obvious You are so obvious
9.
Only one day more to go One million old suns will fall to dust My thousand pairs of eyes on you There's nothing in here to bring me down Wild animal at heart Wild animal at heart Wild animal at heart Wild animal at heart (Oooh, aah) (Oooh, aah) Sheep and dogs and caterpillars The moonlight shines into your face A fortune for the fortunate soul There's nothing to make it disappear Wild animal at heart Wild animal at heart Wild animal at heart Wild animal at heart Nothing less than a lioness Into my soul she climbs The poltergeists of creation Into my arms they fly (Ooh, aah) Wild animal at heart Wild animal at heart (Ooh, aah) (Ooh)
10.
Playhouse 03:44
The moon has never talked to me Have you ever heard of such a thing Will the others accept me as I am Cover me in charcoal and roll me on the floor Water my eyes like you water your plants Burn, just like a playhouse Fall down, just like a playhouse Burn, just like a playhouse Fall down, just like a playhouse
11.
Headwater 04:55
Holding on to the memory of that feeling In your arms Young and in love Rolled alone, on the floor and the ceiling In your arms I woke up Oh the fool that I was Had I not grown older I'd still be there, I'd still be there And the rain fell down Leaving demons faces on the windowpane The only light was you I have always been drawn to you In your arms I fell asleep Naked and warm The day I deceived you Was the same day that I died Oh the fool that I was Had I not grown older I'd still be there, I'd still be there (Damn you) In your arms I fall asleep (Damn you) (Damn you)

about

«Utter Delight» is the first record of Nuél Schoch’s new life, in which he now sees the world through a father’s eyes. Deeply impressed by the sheer inconceivability of becoming and the clumsy genius of growth, Nuél stacks the soundscapes and beats of his fifth record with childly delight. Kejnu’s latest release bubbles unlike any record before.

In «Utter Delight,» Kejnu strays deep into a sensitive, introspective world, home to but one condition: transience. And because nothing is permanent, nothing can be lost. While earlier Kejnu records featured solemn compositions and somber arrangements, «Utter Delight» is an unpredictable chain reaction, an undamped evolution obeying one simple law: no repetition without variation. Like the cosmos in timelapse.

Kejnu’s last album and last concerts lie eight years behind us. «Utter Delight» seamlessly continues the musical vision of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nuél Schoch. Everything about this comeback is distinctively Kejnu: spiry and wondrous, packed with contradictions, yet entirely Zen.
