Summer 02:48
Lyrics: So we caught the Sunlight, held it in our arms Soaked and bathed and kept it under our skin Do you still feel the Warmth from within The only screen we needed saved us from ourselves We took a moment, we took a Breath, and put time on a shelf Have you ever seen water spiral from beneath You gotta dive Let go Feel to believe That the Earth is one with the Water With the Sea, with the Air we breathe It's a system of magnificence, and we only perceive a part A part of what is You and Me A part of what we hear and see A part of what we touch A part of what we walk and then we leave behind Then we leave behind Let the summer be your guide You should ask yourself Should we hide See the Sky open wide, see the signs of time Let it all cool down Now the Time is right

Rozafa 03:57
Lyrics: The Queen of Eden sailed the Sea to find the one thing to set her free The Queen of Leya dropped down on one knee She pledged to combat the bad, the bad devotedly The Mother of the Amazons called to arms She gathered legions, she gathered swarms The Queen of Falcons soared to see the good and bad from way above and aimed to fight ferociously (and they’ll attack from behind) If you don’t pay attention (4x) Coming out of the woodwork crawl forgotten souls They use their sharpened nails, they start drilling holes They eat through trees, they build their boats They drink the rivers until everything floats They capture stars with their bare hands They move the clouds, and they transform the lands They paste green pastures onto stone They feed the threatened, they put flesh onto bones and they’ll attack from behind If you don’t pay attention (4x) and they’ll attack from behind If you don’t pay attention (4x) and they’ll attack from behind if you don’t pay attention Rozafa!

Lyrics: Coming out of the rain I’m seeping into your skin Crawling between one hair and another We can let the warmth begin We climbed up high So we could be alone It took a while But now we know what we have always known And it is Quite absurd how much time we spend in cars Quite absurd, without getting there Quite absurd how much we copy others Quite absurd what we don’t let go I’m Driving alone, driving alone, driving alone to you Driving alone, driving alone, driving alone to you And it is Quite absurd how much we assume Quite absurd, without assuming that everything’s right Quite absurd - assuming that everything’s right Quite absurd how much we don’t let go You’re Flying alone, flying alone, flying alone to me Flying alone, flying alone, flying alone to me

#skyporn 02:34
Lyrics: (intro) Summer on the concrete Feel the breathing stones in my neck I feel them hugging, talking, drugging, loving, And leaning towards my eyes Not one single stone's soul can be as cruelly hard as yours is to mine I wish there was a little pick me up to pick me up from time to time Time… Winter on the hard frosty forest soil Cold is kissing me from inside Paste some warmth from the #skyporn into my heart So my hell doesn't freeze I am waiting at the entrance But nobody ever lets me in I am holding out, yet another day I can't wait for the spring to begin Do you remember when we met #summerlove #winterlove #nightlove, cold love hashtag scenery, beautiful, beautiful Do you remember when we met #summerlove #winterlove #snowlove #fog #love #streetsoftheworld, I see traces of you

Demons 04:12
Lyrics: Chase your demons away (4x) Slowly it is takin’ over me But I say no-no (2x) Some fight the system, I fought myself Guess that’s cos of what I was taught By the movies, by the ads, magazines, by the Screens, by the scene, every book on the shelf And now I stop, consciously And now I’m proud, consciously And I know I’ll have to stop again But then I know I’ll pick it up again It is so hard when everything’s a question And they lead to zero ends Yeah, instead of the end I will chose A life of love I wanna spend Kiss me on my lips, look into my eyes I have learned so much through you The biggest gift I can give is my joy I was dead, but I feel something true Chase your demons away (4x) You don’t wanna climb up the hill (too steep) You don’t wanna swim in the lake (too deep) You could make a fire (too much work) Join the conversation (you lurk) You don’t wanna breathe the air (too dirty) You don’t wanna let love in (too hurty) You don’t understand what they are sayin’ (too loud) You could listen, yet you don’t (too proud) And I start to criticize my thoughts before they even begin It takes a wizard of words to let the soothing dreams sink in I am yours, darkness, take me away, I think when I go to sleep But I will let love reign once more, and my flame of resistance I always keep That’s why I rise to the heights of my life, my spirits remind me of who I am I can take all this shit and more, I will show you how proudly and tall I stand People hear me and see me up high, they don’t know how low I can sink But it’s a cycle, so I drown and I swim At some point I will die, but until then I can win Slowly it is takin’ over me But I say no-no (2x)

Lyrics: She breathes like you, she’s embarrassed, too She glitches, she itches, and she feels it, too But when she kneels you can see how she slowly heals For her peers, for the teens, for the mermaids and submarines She is sick of defending, she spends her time spending Gold on feelings, feelings on time, time on asking will they be mine Cross her heart, she’s sick of it all, Increasing grip, towering, tall, Growing apart, standing alone Focused, calm, metal and bone Stop the clock, it’s about to go down She takes her bag, ready for the showdown A deep dark wrench, her fingers clenched, Hair in strings, her substance entrenched She doesn’t look back Not once, not to check If anyone is following her track Trust me, you will know when it’s time to attack -tack -tack She breathes like you, she’s embarrassed, too She glitches, she itches, and she feels it, too But when she kneels you can see how she slowly heals for her peers, for the teens, for the mermaids and submarines She is sick of defending, she spends her time spending Gold on feelings, feelings on time, time on asking will they be mine Cross her heart, she’s sick of it all, Increasing grip, towering, tall, Growing apart, standing alone Focused, calm, metal and bone (Cuts) She is sick of defending, she spends her time spending Gold on feelings, feelings on time, time on asking will they be mine Cross her heart, she’s sick of it all, Increasing grip, towering, tall, Growing apart, standing alone Focused, calm, metal and bone She breathes like you, she’s embarrassed, too She glitches, she itches, and she feels it, too But when she kneels you can see how she slowly heals for her peers, for the teens, for the mermaids and submarines

about

Leading lights of the Austrian hip hop and electronica scenes, The Unused Word (Anna Schauberger) and Testa (Lukas Ljubanovic), have joined forces as Nødstop. The duo are releasing their debut seven track EP “Ø” in April 2019.

With nods to Portishead and hints of Laurie Anderson, “Ø” is a moody, electronic journey graced by Schauberger’s distinctive vocals, Testa’s stylish turntablism, hip hop inspired beats and a cool Scandinavian aesthetic. The captivating soundscape lures the listener in before confronting us with hard hitting lyrics that tackle big themes from the environment to domestic violence, echoing the continuous sense of unease that is the backdrop to contemporary life.

This interplay between the music and the lyrics is echoed in the name Nødstop, which is Danish for “emergency brakes”. Indulging in some multilingual wordplay, Schauberger explains, “You can nod your heads to our hip hop-influenced beats, but if you start listening to the words, you might stop because I do worry about things like climate change, homelessness or violence against women in my lyrics”.
