Catalyst 05:36
it's late night and time to go it's time to give up again all at once it's just too much there’s no need to talk it's late night inside this car and there's nowhere else to go all at once i'm paralyzed i don't know anything anymore it's easy to lose control it’s easier to let it fall it's hard to remember the test of time leaving scars onto our souls it’s late night inside this life let everything disappear we’re waiting for something to happen while we’re feeding our fears

Faultlines 05:16
walk through the door to get some more then throw it all away. you held her tight within your arms but then you couldn't stay. watch the stars in her eyes and the wind howls within your mind leave home everything you’ve got to reach above the sky. what did you think? illusions lied. the night divides the sea. all alone on a blood red throne, just aching to be free. you can blame late goodbyes. living this was your biggest prize. what's the cost of what you've lost? these neverending nights. we’re telling our secrets we bitter the sweetness we’re waiting for something to hold on to we’re facing the sunlight there’s no wrong and no right and maybe the next time i’ll dream of you walk through the door to get some more then throw it all away. swallowed by an ocean wave no matter what you say. and the truth, you will realize, this fall is just a different flight there’s no desire, there is no sight that’s hidden from your eyes.

Hypnonaut 03:44
take a look around yourself until you see what’s wrong with us hide your eyes conceal the sun and stare into the barrel of a loaded gun noise and poison falling down the streets and suddenly the system fails ghosts and scars and everything has changed your wounds are going to bleed the pain away we don’t know what we know we don’t say what we say we don’t see what we see so we’ll never believe we don’t know what we know we don’t feel what we feel we don’t care where we’ve gone so bring it on can you hear the sound we make while we feed our demons a feedback loop year after year hell is just a place not far away from here

can you pretend you don’t hear? want to move your direction? signals are caught, my love song… no rest, my head is a trap. that night the brook was black grave i saw your face in the foam. nothing is lost, now you’ll call me back. there’s no return now there’s no return now let me think they’re real things. i know those raindrops i know those raindrops they weren't there by chance. you realize you are not here. will you realize you’re not here? want to move your direction? signals are clear, my death song… no rest, my head is a map. that night the brook was black grave i saw your face in the mud. everything’s lost, i know you’ll call me back. call me back to another moonlight it’s no deception, a real connection. put your good plan in my eager hands. let’s direct all linked sensations. call me back to another moonlight! that night the brook was black… i saw your face in the… can you realize, can you realize… then you realize… can you realize…

Nouronihar 04:40
sink deeper if you can decipher the ache in your mind spreading lies to the most receptive self-infected, misdirected this is a dark age this is a bright cage this is a tainted crime this is a worthless time a pointless world a blind frozen soul dark pleasure of regret shining in a sea of blindness bones like clouds keep glowing this should haunt you every morning come closer I don’t know who am I talking to right now if you condone inhumanity i don’t want any part in your reality this is a dark age this is a bright cage this is a tainted crime this is a worthless time a pointless world a blind frozen soul

Brittleness 06:18
hold me. black eyes, fear the smell of our blood. hurt me. deathwish, storm, reaction, regret. warm me. metaphysical repulsion and hate. back in time to a dark age. history’s dead meat carnage detection drifting fast towards nothingness shouting... hold me.

Thanatosis 04:44
oh you never say what i haven’t seen you never care if it should have been you never call and you never should you never fell for another truth oh echoes from the night before so many things i don’t understand you always stay right within the storm like there is something there that i don’t know oh sometimes I’m scared I got no place to go because nothing i feel can really give me more and i tried and i tried but it just never ends you keep slipping through my fingers just like sand i will stay no matter what you're going to do to scare me away from here i will face the consequences of you burying everything that matters we should never take a litte kiss for granted take a little longer to feel i can only wait for you i can only wait for you

Battlefeel 04:14
we’ll face the clouds of darkness we’ll question our beliefs we’ll take a step back to the whispers shattering dreams we’ll lose control of time again we’re going to waste our tears one thousand billions stars collapse and we’re caught in between hey… if only you could see if only you could notice... if you could think of me… what would you think of me? it doesn’t really matter if we’re still all alone I’ll drown into your eyes the things that we were looking for memory’s fading shadows awaiting slowly deceiving what you will feel
9.
Axiomatic 05:15
sitting here i wonder if time means anything at all if years and ages run without you but my feelings linger on i’ll remember everything waiting just for me i see the same things you see say it loud for me steal my senses love is blindness your skin smells like heaven’s darkness dreams fall down hearts beating faster it was always meant for you sitting here i wonder if you took my breath away youthful comfort still surrounded by the weight of what will be
10.
you won’t drown if you don’t regret it: keep losing control
11.
darker than the black night walked a thousand tragedies crystal days awaiting in this place erase my will more to be forgotten a million ways a million falls reaching down to you before this blindness calls small time refraction silence blows everything away stay close enough black out the light in you watching from above slowing down free at last i’m free at last

about

A long-awaited comeback for Blank!

"Drifting Slowly" continues the crisp electronic research started with the previous full length "Dark Retreat", featuring a most diverse blend of influences, atmospheres, melodies and beats. An inspiring journey that mixes dusky tones, lucid dreams, weird techniques and fragments of synthetic creations, enough to please anyone who's passionate about heartfelt electronic music.

Finished recording on new year's eve, and depicting a world seemingly drifting (not-so-slowly) towards unpleasant shores, the album comes out in a world that's in lockdown due to a pandemic!

These lyrics were written months before this situation was even thinkable:

"back in time to a dark age.
drifting fast towards nothingness
shouting 'hold me'."
