Toiling 05:24
Each gift of nature, and each grace of art With fatal heat impetuous courage glows With fatal sweetness speech flows Widewasting pest! that rages unconfin’d And crowds with crimes the records of mankind Wealth heap’d on wealth, nor truth nor safety buys The dangers gather treasures rise Yet still one gen’ral cry the skies assails And gain and grandeur load the tainted gales Few know the toiling statesman’s fear or care, Insidious rival and the gaping heir. Let history tell where rival kings command Uncertain title shakes the madded land When statutes glean the refusal of the sword More safe the vassal than the lord Low sculls the hind beneath the rage of power And leaves the wealthy traitor in the tower Untouched his chalet and his slumbers sound Confiscation’s vultures hover round

I am standing still Exactly where she left me standing Thoughts, thats never ends Eating me like pills in my veins My mind is stripped apart Burdened by a beating heart Like a lonely running man Like a lonely running man I was standing still Surrounded by those gaping faces My mind is hurting still Lost in every song i wrote you Your smiles are worlds apart Your trace is a beating heart I’m still a lonely running man You made me a lonely running man Your smiles are worlds apart Your trace is a beating heart Still a lonely running man I’m your lonely running man

Stranger 05:38
I can see the hands off my Stranger Still feel the touch of my Stranger A stranger that I used to know I can hear the words from my Stranger Still remember the words from my stranger Words that I used to trust Entering the marshland Searching for dryland Drowning where I stand Nothing left to enhance She's only skin and bones in my anger Used to be my trust, lust and anchor and anchor that I used to trust I’m the assailant voice Hurting my stranger I’m in the marshy lands Placed by my stranger Searching for a better man Running for a better land A place for me to better stand But I’m Entering the marshland

about

New Danish rock band releases a roaring and engaging drama in full bloom. 


Based on equal parts post- and noise rock, the quartet Kúlu has created a sharp sound image with a sense of authority and conviction.

This is the sound of four guys and musicians who know exactly what they want, and are able to create a musical expression that is at the same time very atmospheric, dramatic and including.

First single 'Toiling' shifts between distorted bass and ringing guitars. The thundering harmony choir in 'Lonely Running Man' shows four pop hearts beating the same drum; 'Jove' shows the bands' sense of roaring melancholy; ‘Stranger' is a tour-de-force in pace and dynamics where the congolesian persussioninstrument likembe supplements and plays side by side with the energetic drums towards the end.

Being well aware of their well-defined terms, Kúlu are not afraid to label themselves with the term quiescent noise.

Guitarist og songwriter Daniel Buchwald explains: »We are always surrounded by sounds and even though a room is completely quiet, something will always be rummaging. Sometimes the sounds are silent, sometimes they are loud and you are surrounded by it. ‘Quiescent noise’ is always present in the world, and around us.«

This duality is maximized by meditative, ambient guitardrones and noisy soundscapes combined with dynamic and explosive drums and the expressive vocal which fully embodies the lyrics of the song.
